My Approach to Helping

Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be a powerful and transformative experience. As a dedicated therapist, my approach is centered around fostering an authentic, supportive, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and grow. Utilizing an integrative blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and stoic wisdom, I am committed to helping you navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness.

With years of experience as a licensed therapist, I believe in the power of deep listening, empathy, and patience in fostering meaningful change and personal growth.

More Info About My Practice

One thing that sets my practice apart is my ability to use ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Psychotherapy can help individuals understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve their mental well-being. It can be used to address a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, negative thoughts, and relationship problems. My therapeutic approach is unique, drawing on the wisdom of both Eastern and Western philosophy, blending the power of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and ancient stoic practices to help individuals understand and transcend the difficulties that are holding them back. Through a journey of self-discovery and healing, individuals can uncover their unique strengths and experiences, set important goals, and develop personalized treatment plans to help them reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals, to help them alleviate their current pain and become more aware of their feelings, patterns of behavior and relationship to themselves and others, to help them reach the goals they have set for themselves in the beginning of the treatment.

My Role as a Therapist

As a therapist, my goal is to empower individuals to overcome their difficulties and reach their full potential. I offer a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use a unique blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and ancient stoic practices to help clients understand and transcend their struggles. Together, we will set important goals, develop a personalized treatment plan, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. My approach is compassionate, understanding, and patient, and I will work with you to uncover your unique strengths and experiences. With my guidance, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop healthy coping skills to navigate life's challenges.
