Services
Individual Therapy
Tailored one-on-one sessions address anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Using evidence-based methods like AEDP and IFS, I help clients develop emotional resilience and self-compassion. My approach focuses on creating a safe space for exploring personal history and fostering growth through mindful, present-centered healing.
Couples Counseling
Specialized Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples improves communication and repairs relationship ruptures. By addressing negative interaction cycles and fostering emotional vulnerability, partners learn to rebuild trust and create secure, lasting connections through structured, research-backed interventions.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
This integrative approach combines low-dose ketamine with psychotherapy to enhance emotional breakthroughs. The treatment creates neuroplasticity windows for reprocessing trauma and reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety, followed by integration sessions to apply insights to daily life within a supportive therapeutic framework.
Trauma Recovery
Specialized trauma treatment employs somatic awareness and emotion-focused techniques to process adverse experiences. By addressing how trauma impacts both mind and body, clients learn to regulate nervous system responses and develop healthier coping mechanisms through a phased, compassionate approach.
Mindfulness Training
Guided mindfulness practices cultivate present-moment awareness and emotional regulation skills. These techniques, integrated into therapy sessions, help reduce stress reactivity and promote self-compassion through practical exercises tailored to individual needs and therapeutic goals.
