Professional Development & Credentials
I believe effective therapy is built on strong therapeutic relationships, empathy, and clinical training. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, ongoing professional education, and a deep respect for the complexity of human healing. Ketamine-assisted therapy is not a single intervention in my practice. It is a comprehensive, thoughtfully supported process.
​
I earned my MSW in 2012 and spent the first half of my career in community mental health, working as both a therapist and clinical supervisor. That foundation shaped my commitment to ethical care, systems-level thinking, and supporting people experiencing significant distress. Since 2019, I have been in private practice and now focus exclusively on ketamine-assisted therapy. I completed the 250-hour psychedelic-assisted therapy program through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute back in 2021, and my own personal experiences with psychedelic healing have also deeply informed my clinical work.
