They've done the work, pushed through, done the research — and something still isn't shifting. I work with people carrying trauma, patterns that keep showing up, identities shaped by things that happened long before they had words for it. What matters most is not how 'bad' it was. What matters is how it affected you. That's the only measure that counts here. I specialize in complex trauma using approaches that go deeper than talking alone like Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). If you understand the patterns but still feel caught in them, that's not failure. It means something deeper needs attention and help to find a path through it. The practice is fully telehealth and I work with clients in Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, and Washington. Many people wait longer than they need to before reaching out, so my goal is to make getting started easy. We start with a consultation, which is just a conversation with no pressure.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes. Here’s a link to more information about KAP to see if it may be a good fit for you: journey.click/education

What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

KAP is a legal modality that pairs ketamine treatment with dedicated psychotherapy sessions for more deeper therapy, more frequent breakthroughs and better clinical outcomes. To learn more about KAP, visit journey.click/education

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.

Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges. In my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form.

How Does Ketamine Feel?

The effects of ketamine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these effects subsided, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happened during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are none-the-less clear. Studies have shown that the benefits to mood and neurological growth can last up to two weeks after the Ketamine experience.

What is the Cost of Treatment?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is an affordable, accessible modality. Although the medical intake and follow ups are not covered by insurance, they are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement.

In addition to the Journey Medical costs are session fees for preparation sessions, dosing sessions, and integration sessions with me. We have options with them to work with costs. Let’s talk about what the full cost could be for you.

If you understand the patterns but still feel caught in them, that's not failure. It means something deeper needs attention and help to find a path through it.","The practice is fully telehealth and I work with clients in Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, and Washington.","Many people wait longer than they need to before reaching out, so my goal is to make getting started easy.

They've done the work, pushed through, done the research — and something still isn't shifting. I work with people carrying trauma, patterns that keep showing up, identities shaped by things that happened long before they had words for it. What matters most is not how 'bad' it was. What matters is how it affected you. That's the only measure that counts here. I specialize in complex trauma using approaches that go deeper than talking alone like Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). If you understand the patterns but still feel caught in them, that's not failure. It means something deeper needs attention and help to find a path through it. The practice is fully telehealth and I work with clients in Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, and Washington. Many people wait longer than they need to before reaching out, so my goal is to make getting started easy. We start with a consultation, which is just a conversation with no pressure. It’s a chance to find out if this is the right fit and answer questions. There is no cost or commitment.3f:T405,
