Brainspotting is a gentle, neuroscience-informed therapy that helps people access and heal emotional material stored deep in the brain and body. Rather than relying only on talking, Brainspotting uses specific “gaze points” in your visual field that connect to the brain’s emotional processing centers.

When a Brainspot is found, your nervous system naturally begins to unwind stress, trauma, or stuck patterns—often more quickly and organically than with traditional talk therapy. It’s a powerful way to process what feels overwhelming, reconnect with your inner calm, and move forward with greater clarity and ease.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine with guided psychotherapy to create openings for insight, emotional flexibility, and healing that can be harder to access through traditional talk therapy alone. Many clients find KAP helpful because ketamine can temporarily shift rigid thought patterns, soften defenses, and support a deeper connection to underlying emotions and inner resources.

KAP is considered a groundbreaking approach in the mental health field due to its emerging research and its potential to accelerate therapeutic progress when used safely and intentionally. In my practice, I partner with a trusted psychiatrist who oversees all medical aspects of treatment. He conducts the medical evaluation and determines eligibility for KAP. Once approved, we work together to integrate the experience in a supportive, grounded therapeutic setting.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps people manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily lives. DBT teaches practical skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Through DBT, clients learn how to stay present, cope with overwhelming feelings, communicate needs clearly, and make choices that align with their values. It is especially helpful for individuals who experience emotional sensitivity, anxiety, or patterns of feeling “stuck” in reactive cycles.

DBT balances acceptance and change—helping you understand yourself with compassion while also empowering you to create meaningful shifts in your life.

Somatic (body-focused) therapy views symptoms as the body’s way of holding onto unresolved experiences. With strong support from today’s trauma research, this approach helps you process physical states like anxiety, freeze, or shutdown so you can move out of long-standing patterns.

I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, and somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with the presence beneath their survival responses. Through mindful practice, we become more intentional, awake, courageous, compassionate, and resilient to life’s pain.

I always work from a holistic perspective that recognizes that the brain and body are completely intertwined. In order to help clients achieve their goals, I help them assess how all aspects of their life impact their mental health.

Polyvagal-informed therapy focuses on understanding how the nervous system functions and how our defensive states—fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and collapse—show up in daily life. I’ll offer practical tools to help you support your nervous system and guide it back toward calm.
