Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

A Bridge Back to Meaning and Purpose

Are you feeling caught in patterns that no longer serve you? Yearning to reconnect with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose? Exhausted by the weight of your inner critic and seeking a healthier, more nourishing baseline from which life can feel more liberating and creative?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers profound support for those struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD and suicidality. This work goes beyond symptom relief - it’s an invitation to experience yourself differently, to rediscover openness and curiosity, while being held in a space where both clinical expertise and soulful attention matter deeply.

Traditionally, many cultures have held sacred space throughout the year through intentional practices of seasonal celebrations, rites of passage and community ritual. Like these practices, psychedelic journeys offer a radical departure from the ordinary, creating a container where deep shifts become possible.

A Bridge Between Therapies

Ketamine is a safe, legal and highly effective medicine that I offer in conjunction with psychotherapy to facilitate the healing process. Ketamine has a rapid-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effect which can take effect within 1-2 hours. Ketamine works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Enhancing overall neuroplasticity, ketamine can be an incredibly potent adjunct to psychotherapy by facilitating enhanced insights, cognitive flexibility and emotion regulation and stability.

For clients who are already connected to a therapist I act as a bridge to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, consulting with your current therapist before beginning and supporting your transition back afterward, ensuring that the insights and openings from our work together flow seamlessly into your ongoing healing journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this work is right for me?

This medicine can be particularly powerful for those struggling with depression, anxiety or suicidal thoughts, as well as those feeling stuck in critical thought patterns or disconnected from their sense of purpose. During our consultation, we’ll explore together whether this approach aligns with your healing journey.

What makes your approach unique?

I bring together years of clinical expertise with a deep understanding that healing happens not just through medicine, but with the quality of presence and space-holding. My approach honors both the science **

What happens during a medicine session?

While every person has a different experience of the medicine and each medicine session can be different from the next, many people describe the experience as pleasant and expansive. The experience of ketamine is classified as a non-ordinary state of consciousness and this can be unsettling or challenging in the moment though is mediated by the preparation work that we do together. Preparation work is done before each medicine session to set intention and address any needs and concerns. Three hours is set aside for this session and I will be attending to and guiding you through your experience as it arises . For some, the journey can offer images, insights and connections and can facilitate a kind of “observer’s mind” that can be incredibly supportive to move from stuckness to possibility.

What kind of support is available for integration?

Integration is where lasting change takes root, taking advantage of the continued neuroplasticity that ketamine promotes. Beyond our dedicated integration sessions, you’ll receive tailored prompts and practices that help weave your insights into daily life, supporting a sustained shift from critical patterns into more freedom and creativity.
