My Journey into Somatic Counseling 

Life often takes us on unexpected journeys, leading us down paths we may have never envisioned. My immersion into the realm of Somatic Counsel and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy has been an enriching process, sparked by personal challenges, growth and a desire to give back.

​

Through my personal journey and a thirst to enhance my professional passions, I have discovered and offer an integrative approach to healing that combines attunement of the body, mind, soul and spirit, allowing for profound depth, insights, efficacy and efficiency that arguably may not be attainable in more traditional avenues of therapy.

​

My initial encounter with Somatic Counsel and breathwork, was a turning point that positively altered my wellbeing, as well as the trajectory of my path.  Throughout my life, I found myself navigating artistic, professional, and personal dilemma, including bouts of acute anxiety and depression. 

It was through the guidance of Somatic Counseling and IFS that I began to truly understand the profound connection between my felt-sense, my maladapted parts within, emotions, behavioral tendencies and my overall well-being.  I experienced firsthand, the positive results it had on my personal path and I how to lead more authentically from Self.

​

However, my quest did not stop there.  In the course of my exploration, I stumbled upon the world of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, a realm that I found deeply fascinating.  I was struck by the potential for accelerated healing and true transformation that this approach offered.

While I wholeheartedly value and hold immense respect for traditional therapy, I marveled at the notion that Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy combined with somatic-work, re-integration programs, and professional support prior and post, could unlock a unique doorway to profound insights and exponential growth.
