Healing Beyond Talk Therapy

I offer two powerful modalities to support deep healing: somatic therapy and psychedelic therapy.
These approaches go beyond traditional talk therapy by helping your body release what it’s been carrying. Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or feel like you’ve already “tried everything,” you’re not alone. There’s real, lasting relief—and I’m here to help you find it.

Who I Work With

If you’ve been carrying pain that doesn’t seem to go away, these approaches are here to support you.

Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of trauma, feeling stuck in survival mode, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, you are not alone.

I work with:

  • Adults who feel disconnected from their body or emotions

  • Trauma survivors ready to heal beyond just coping

  • Parents who find themselves triggered or overwhelmed

  • Therapists and caregivers seeking a safe place to process

  • Highly capable people who are exhausted from holding it all together

  • Anyone who has “tried everything” and still feels stuck

You deserve care that meets you where you are.

Your body has been carrying too much for too long. Somatic therapy helps it finally let go.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body, gently and safely.
When trauma lives in the nervous system, talk therapy isn’t always enough.


This approach works with your body’s natural responses, helping you process and release what’s been stored — without needing to relive it.

It's not about symptom management. It's about reprocessing trauma in a way that is safe and supported.

What is Psychedelic Therapy?

Psychedelic therapy is a powerful path to healing.

​

Not because it takes you away from yourself, but because it gently helps you return to the parts that have been buried or shut down.

​

Trauma isn’t just held in the mind. It’s stored deep within the body. This approach uses carefully guided, body-based sessions with legal psychedelic medicine to support the release of what has been stuck for too long.

​

These sessions may incorporate medicines such as ketamine or cannabis, and are held in a safe, structured environment with thoughtful preparation and integration to support your full healing process.

​

You don’t need to talk through every detail or relive painful memories. Instead, your body is supported in doing what it already knows how to do — process, integrate, and let go.

​

This work isn’t about escaping. It’s about coming home to yourself with safety, care, and the kind of support that allows true healing to unfold.
