Integrate Change

In our fast-paced, stress-filled world, many of us struggle with creative blocks, anxietyADHD, and a lack of spiritual connection. Traditional therapy can be effective, but sometimes, we need a different approach to break through these barriers. Ketamine-assisted therapy offers a unique and powerful way to tap into our inner resources, foster a more profound understanding, and promote healing. By integrating creative expression, mindful practices, and spiritual exploration into your therapy sessions, you can uncover new pathways to personal growth and well-being.

  • Perfectionism can stifle our inner talents and block our creative flow. If you've felt this way, ketamine-assisted therapy might be a supportive way to unblock your creative flow. This unique therapeutic approach uses the altered state induced by ketamine to enhance creative thinking and expression. After our sessions, as part of your integration practices, you'll be encouraged to explore various creative modalities that excite you, such as drawing, painting, sculpture, or another art form.

    During our therapy sessions, you can allow your complete, vibrant self to emerge in this supportive, spiritually nurturing space. You're safe to be silly, learn, play, and grow. Here, "mistakes" are opportunities for spiritual expression and discovery. Engaging in creative art-making after Ketamine Therapy sessions can help you connect with your inner self and higher power, guiding you to overcome the perfectionism that holds you back and allowing your spiritual and creative energies to flow freely.

  • Living with ADHD can be challenging, especially when it feels intertwined with depression, anxiety, and self-criticism. While ketamine therapy may not directly address ADHD symptoms, it offers a path to engage with yourself with more compassion and insight. By fostering a more profound sense of self-awareness and addressing underlying issues, ketamine therapy provides a unique and powerful approach to healing and well-being.

    During ketamine therapy sessions, we work on alleviating depression and anxiety, empowering you to manage ADHD symptoms more effectively. Therapy helps you find a more compassionate inner narrator, making managing ADHD much more bearable. Enhanced self-awareness allows you to navigate challenges with newfound clarity and purpose, making life more manageable and fulfilling. The spiritual aspect of Ketamine therapy helps you align with your higher self, bringing a sense of peace and understanding to your journey.

  • A solid connection to your higher power can significantly improve your life. Ketamine-assisted therapy can facilitate profound spiritual exploration, promoting a grounded and embodied spirituality without falling into the trap of toxic positivity. For integration work, you'll be encouraged to engage with practices that resonate with you, such as energy work, oracle cards, or intuitive writing and art-making.

    By integrating these practices into your routine after ketamine sessions, you can strengthen your spiritual connection. You'll learn to distinguish between the voice of fear and your intuition, leading to a more connected and authentic spiritual journey. My approach fosters a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the universe, helping you feel more aligned and supported by your higher power.

  • Anxiety can manifest in many ways—racing thoughts, shallow breathing, or an inability to stop worrying about everything. For some, ketamine-assisted therapy can help reduce the impact of anxiety. During our sessions, we'll practice grounding techniques to calm your body and mind, enhancing your spiritual well-being.

    The heightened neuroplasticity encouraged by ketamine administration makes learning and adopting new practices, such as mindfulness, deep breathing, and guided visualization, easier. These techniques can alleviate anxiety and help you feel more at peace and in control. Often, anxiety stems from scared inner child parts that need soothing or inner critic parts striving to help you succeed. By approaching these parts with compassion, curiosity, and a spiritual perspective, we can transform your anxious thoughts from adversaries into allies, enabling you to navigate life with greater ease and confidence.

  • Learning to nourish yourself emotionally and spiritually is vital to the healing journey. Ketamine-assisted therapy encourages you to engage in practices that foster self-compassion and insight. You can build a deeper connection with yourself and your spiritual practices by exploring creative arts, engaging with oracle cards, or participating in energy work and meditation. These practices, integrated into your routine after ketamine sessions, support you in nourishing all parts of yourself and enhancing your overall well-being.

    Incorporating ketamine-assisted therapy into your healing journey can unlock new possibilities for creativity, emotional balance, spiritual connection, and anxiety management. Each session is an opportunity to explore, grow, and heal in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're seeking to overcome creative blocks, manage ADHD, build a spiritual connection, or address anxiety, ketamine-assisted therapy can offer a transformative path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

    Guided Virtual Therapy: Supporting Your Ketamine Experience

From a quiet, comfortable space in your home, I'll support your work with therapy that may include guided meditation, intention exploration, and the processing of memories. We'll meet afterward to for Ketamine Integration session, and I'll help you make meaning and integrate changes into your life based on what arose in your session.

Why Work with Me for Ketamine therapy + Integration?

  • So much of our experiences in therapy can center around what's wrong. Let's shift our focus to creating an existence that's heart-centered, attuned, alive, and filled with moments of joy.

  • I’m committed to helping you return to your path. It's possible to find freedom from self-limiting beliefs, impostor syndrome, fear, and perfectionism, and tap into aliveness. Let me support you through Ketamine Therapy to treat Anxiety and Depression.

  • With Psychedelic therapy, it can feel easier to let go of habits that don’t work for you and create new ones. Listen to your inner guidance about how to transform your day-to-day with more self-awareness and intentional, sustainable changes.

  • Working together, we can build a life that is fulfilling and authentic, using holistic therapy techniques that promote mental health and emotional well-being. Let’s create a path that’s not just about overcoming obstacles, but about thriving and living fully.

  • Our therapy work can support you in feeling less stuck and create a sense of expansion and receptivity in your approach to life. Discover how to develop more awareness of your needs and desires, shift and transform your relationships, and help you build a sense of connection within your community, and improve your mental health.

  • I see trauma in connection to systems and structures rather than something we hold as individuals. I’d love to support you in shifting away from shame toward honoring your strength.

  • During the past seven years of providing support to those processing trauma, I've deepened my understanding that antidotes to trauma are rooted in the cultivation of deep connection, both within ourselves and with our community, and the awakening to the innate aliveness within us, igniting our awareness to explore and expand our sense of self and possibilities. Trauma work serves as a gateway to liberate ourselves from cycles of suffering, allowing us to embrace greater freedom in navigating our lives and relationships in alignment with our wisdom of inner knowing, creativity, and strengthened by interconnectedness.

  • My extensive education (see below) has focused on working with trauma, anxiety, and depression. Our work can help you explore painful experiences or history at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.

  • My personal healing path has unfolded with the support of Ketamine Therapy. I have a deep relationship with this medicine that informs how I help you cultivate your healing practices. Learn to nourish your well-being in a way that works for you.

  • Many of my clients long to reconnect to creativity and aliveness. We can find ways to develop more of a connection to yourself. Ketamine Assisted Therapy/Ketamine Integration can support you in learning to tend to your emotions, body, and spirit.

  • Working together, we can build a life that is fulfilling and authentic, using holistic therapy techniques that promote mental health and emotional well-being. Let’s create a path that’s not just about overcoming obstacles, but about thriving and living fully.

More About Ketamine Therapy: Preparing for Your Journey

What to Expect Before Your Ketamine Assisted Therapy Session

Before your first Ketamine Assisted Therapy session, we'll meet 2-3 times to discuss your hopes, plans, and how I can best support you in this work. I'll teach you how to prepare your mind, body, and setting, and create an intention for your Ketamine therapy session.

Choosing a Support Person for Your Ketamine Therapy Session

We'll also discuss choosing a support person who will remain nearby (but not in the same room) throughout your Ketamine therapy session. I'll have their phone number and ask your permission to contact them if you need physical support during the session.

Medical Assessment and Ketamine Prescription Process

I'll refer you to a medical doctor who will meet with you for an online medical assessment and, barring medical contraindications, will prescribe Ketamine. During this meeting, the doctor will also discuss the dose of Ketamine you will take.

After you meet with the doctor, they will send a prescription to the pharmacy. Your prescription consists of sublingual lozenges (tablets) that you will dissolve in your mouth and hold for about 15 minutes. Then, the pharmacy will send the Ketamine prescription to your home for you to self-administer during your Ketamine Therapy session.

Creating the Right Setting for Your Ketamine Session

As we prepare for your first Ketamine Therapy session, we'll talk about music for your journey. Music is an excellent support in helping the session unfold. I can provide you with several options for playlists or offer guidance about considerations for creating a playlist.

On the day of your Ketamine session, we'll check in about your feelings surrounding the journey and your intention. We'll also ensure your setting is ready and your support person is available.

Music and Meditation for Ketamine Therapy

When you're ready to take the Ketamine, I'll guide you in a meditation to help you settle in. You will hold the Ketamine in your mouth for 15 minutes, and I'll let you know when that time passes.

Supporting Your Experience During Ketamine Therapy

It's my job to support you, honor your experience, and help you explore during the therapy session. I may suggest you return to your intention and help you stay present with what arises. I'll remain with you during the session and check in throughout your journey.

Exploring Themes in Ketamine Therapy: From Childhood Memories to New Habits

As a therapist trained in working with trauma, I can assure all parts of you and your experience are welcome to be explored! We'll discuss what you notice as you feel called to speak. Some common topics in Ketamine therapy sessions are images, metaphors, childhood memories, history of depression or anxiety, your relationship to your body, and patterns in your life or thinking you'd like to change. However, everyone's journey is different.

I will take notes for you throughout your session and, if desired, share them with you afterward. We will meet 2-3 more times after your Ketamine session for integration therapy, and we will use the notes from your Ketamine session to help us explore themes that arose in your journey.

Integration Therapy: Making the Most of Your Psychedelic Experience

Due to the antidepressant effects of Ketamine, increased neural plasticity in your brain, and a sense of openness that arises from work with Ketamine Therapy, integration is an ideal time to explore and engage in new habits and shift thought patterns. We may use art therapy to help you deepen your understanding and insights surrounding your Ketamine session.

The Importance of Multiple Ketamine-Assisted Therapy & Ketamine Integration Sessions

I recommend that you undergo a minimum of three Ketamine-Assisted Therapy sessions as the effects of working with Ketamine and depth of exploration often increase as you gain familiarity with your process and develop your integration practices.
