Ketamine and other psychedelic substances (MDMA, psilocybin) are proving to be helpful in the treatment of many challenging mental health issues including treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. Studies demonstrate repeatedly that the beneficial outcomes of these medicines depend on the inclusion of psychotherapy for lasting benefits. I completed certification and intensive clinical training in the delivery of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I can provide individual psychotherapy to those undergoing Ketamine infusions currently. As other treatments become FDA approved and available, I will offer preparation, psychotherapy, and integration work for those working with other medicines (e.g., MDMA, psilocybin).
