Long-term, psychoanalytic psychotherapy
People come to therapy with me because their relationships aren't working, or because past trauma is haunting them and keeping them from living a full life.
​
I am passionate about long term, contemporary, psychoanalytic and relational therapy."Relational" means we look at your relationships and our relationship to figure out where you are stuck and help you move through it. I also incorporate mindfulness, grounding exercises, and somatic resourcing to help you stay within your window of tolerance and feel engaged in the present moment.
​
Over time, relational therapy is a powerful way to shift longstanding patterns and get unstuck.
Ketamine assisted therapy
I offer ketamine assisted therapy through Journey Clinical. Ketamine is a powerful tool for treating treatment resistant depression and trauma/PTSD.
​
I believe we can relate to ketamine as simply an antidepressant, as a tool for going deeper in psychotherapy, or as a psychedelic experience for moving closer to the truth. It can also be all of those at the same time.
Shorter term trauma therapy (EMDR)
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful way to build a sense of safety, process traumatic memories, and recover from trauma symptoms.
​
We will start with 1-2 intake sessions and then move into "resourcing." This means we will spend some time helping you build up the muscle to emotionally regulate and bounce back from difficult feelings.
​
The next step is to move into "reprocessing," where I will guide you in bilateral stimulation of your brain, usually through eye movements or tapping. We can also blend EMDR with more open-ended relational therapy.
