How I work

My work brings together evidence-based psychotherapy, somatic healing, and mindfulness traditions. For some clients, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and support with psychedelic preparation and integration—approaches that can open powerful doorways to clarity, resilience, and lasting change.

My Core Philosophy

My philosophy is that all aspects of healing—emotional, physical, and the wisdom of your own traditions or belief system—are needed to overcome struggles and create a fuller life.

My work is guided by frameworks that shape how I listen, reflect, and help you create change:

Attachment Theory

Our earliest bonds shape how we trust, connect, and love. By bringing awareness to these patterns, you can build healthier, more secure relationships in the present.

Humanistic Approach

I see you as a whole human being—not a problem to be fixed. With empathy and honesty, I help you connect to the strengths and wisdom you already carry.

Family Systems

We don’t exist in isolation. Families, communities, and cultures shape who we are. Therapy helps you untangle these dynamics and shift them toward greater balance.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

We all carry inner “parts”—like a critic, a protector, or a wounded child. IFS helps these parts find harmony by connecting with your calm, wise Self.

Buddhist Teachings & Traditions

My Buddhist practice informs how I sit with clients with mindfulness, compassion, and non-judgment. If meaningful to you, we can also explore how your own traditions or belief system can serve as a powerful resource for resilience and healing.

Body & Nervous System

Healing must also include the body. The nervous system holds stress and trauma. By listening to the body, we can release what words alone cannot reach.

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

Psychedelics can be powerful catalysts for healing and spiritual growth—but without preparation and integration, those openings can fade or feel overwhelming. I provide a safe, grounded space to:

• Prepare emotionally and spiritually before a journey

• Process and make sense of the experience afterward

• Translate insights into meaningful and lasting life changes

In addition to preparation and integration, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with a specialized medical team.

My approach combines Buddhist wisdom, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based psychotherapy, while honoring your own traditions or belief system so your growth feels safe, embodied, and authentic to you.


Methods & Approaches

From these guiding philosophies, I draw on specific, research-backed methods to help you make meaningful and lasting change:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

A highly researched model for couples and families. EFT helps identify negative cycles of conflict and access the deeper needs beneath them, so you can reconnect with trust and intimacy.

Somatic Experiencing (SE™)

A gentle, body-based approach for healing trauma and chronic stress. By tuning into the body’s sensations and rhythms, SE helps release survival energy, calm the nervous system, and restore resilience.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

An evidence-based method for working with your inner “parts.” IFS helps reduce internal conflict, soften harsh self-criticism, and strengthen your calm, compassionate Self as a leader in your life.

TEAM-CBT

An innovative, outcome-focused framework that combines cognitive tools with real-time feedback, ensuring therapy is effective, efficient, and tailored to your needs.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

KAP combines ketamine medicine with psychotherapy and integration support. Sessions provide a safe, structured setting where new perspectives can emerge, helping you process emotions, release old patterns, and create lasting change.

Reconnect with your resilience and wisdom. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
