Specializing in depth psychology, trauma healing, and psychedelic integration

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in my work. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through deep healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation.

My Approach

My approach is depth-oriented, meaning that I am always striving to help my clients identify and work-through the underlying root causes of whatever challenges or themes they are in therapy to address.

In my experience, many persistent and challenging life patterns stem from early formative experiences that often lie outside of our conscious awareness. These experiences can continue to shape our emotions, beliefs, and behaviors in ways we don’t fully realize.

Depth-work involves delving underneath our conscious awareness to uncover and heal these underlying root causes, creating space for meaningful personal transformation and greater self-understanding.

Tools for Transformation

Traditional talk therapy has limited ability to access deeper unconscious material. You can only get so far talking about a problem. As part of my depth approach, I use several tools that go beyond the linear, left-brain, analytical mind and into deeper layers of the mind where the roots of difficult life patterns are located. They are incredibly effective and powerful tools for understanding and healing the causes of current life pain points, whether they be mental, emotional, or behavioral.

These tools include:

EMDR - To reprocess and integrate traumatic experiences and memories
Parts Work - To explore, connect with, and heal the parts of ourselves that carry pain from past experiences
Hypnosis - To help remove unconscious blocks, limiting beliefs, and self-defeating patterns
Inner Journey work - To uncover and heal the unconsciously held woundings from the past
Mindfulness-based approaches - To shift perspective and help connect more fully with the body’s experience

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

I also help people prepare for and integrate intentional work with entheogenic or psychedelic substances. This includes helping people prepare for deep transformational and healing work with psychedelics and integrating the many different things that can come up in a psychedelic experience.
