Friends and family can be wonderful sources of support, but therapy is different. In therapy, you’re not getting advice, judgment, or someone else’s opinions. You’re getting a trained professional and a neutral space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and depth. Unlike personal relationships, therapy is entirely focused on you, and the goal is lasting insight, growth, and change that’s tailored to your unique life.

Medication can be very helpful for some people, and it’s absolutely worth considering (especially for managing symptoms). But medication alone often doesn’t address the underlying issues or patterns that contribute to how you’re feeling. Therapy helps you understand yourself more deeply, develop tools for lasting change, and work through the "why" behind the symptoms. Many people benefit most from a combination of both therapy and medication, but therapy offers something medication can’t: a space to heal, grow, and create real, meaningful change from the inside out.

I take a conversational and collaborative approach to each session.  Collaboration is especially important because you're the expert on you (you've been living your life since Day 1); I'm here to help you find the right custom-fit solutions to your unique life. As we build our therapeutic relationship, you'll learn new ways to cope and approach the challenges that brought you to therapy in the first place.

That really depends on you and your goals, your pace, and what you want to work on. Some people come to therapy for a few sessions to get support around a specific issue, while others choose to stay longer to explore deeper patterns or ongoing challenges. There’s no set timeline, and we’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is still useful and moving in the right direction. The goal isn’t to stay in therapy forever; it’s to help you get to a place where you feel more grounded, clear, and equipped to navigate life on your own terms.

Feedback is absolutely crucial! Please let me know what is and is not working during our time together;  successful therapy requires regular experimentation with the plans we develop together during our sessions. We will likely agree on some sort of therapeutic homework to try at the conclusion of every session in order to maintain "therapeutic momentum." Your participation is very much encouraged every step of the way, and I'm happy to address any roadblocks we encounter.

I offer online individual therapy for adults throughout Florida and Texas.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative treatment approach that combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine  (a legal, FDA-approved medication) with talk therapy to support deeper emotional healing.

Ketamine works by temporarily quieting the brain's default patterns of thought, which can create a unique window of openness and flexibility. During this state, many people find it easier to access difficult emotions, gain new perspective on long-held beliefs, or simply experience relief from the weight of depression, anxiety, or trauma sometimes after years of limited progress with traditional approaches.

In KAP, therapy doesn't stop at the medication. A trained therapist works with you before, during, and after each ketamine experience to help you make meaning of what comes up and integrate those insights into lasting change. The medication opens a door; the therapeutic relationship helps you walk through it.

KAP may be a good fit for people struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or those who feel "stuck" despite doing the work in conventional therapy.

One of the things that sets KAP apart is its relatively rapid timeline. Many people notice meaningful shifts within their first 2–3 sessions, and a standard initial series typically involves 6-8 sessions over the course of a few weeks. Some people experience significant relief even after a single session, though a full series paired with therapy tends to produce more durable results. Following the initial series, some clients benefit from periodic maintenance sessions to sustain gains over time.

KAP is not a quick fix, but part of a larger mental health journey.  The ketamine experience itself is just one piece - the real transformation happens when we integrate those experiences into your life.  Your active participation is essential for lasting change.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, evidence-based approach that uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess painful memories, often producing significant relief in just a few sessions.

When we experience something traumatic or deeply distressing, the brain can get stuck holding onto not just the memory, but all the emotion attached to it. ART works with the brain's natural memory reconsolidation process to change how those memories are stored,  reducing or eliminating the emotional charge they carry. Importantly, you don't have to verbally recount your experience in detail for ART to work. The facts of what happened stay intact; what changes is how it feels to remember them.

ART draws on elements of EMDR, guided imagery, and other established approaches, and has been shown in clinical research to effectively reduce symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and more.

ART may be a good fit for people who feel stuck in patterns driven by past experiences, who have found traditional talk therapy helpful but incomplete, or who want a structured, goal-oriented approach to processing trauma without having to relive it in detail.

Other trauma therapies rely on exposure to create desensitization. This means a client will have to relive the memory of their trauma in a controlled environment as they rehash painful details. With ART, clients don't have to recount their trauma in detail to their therapist, making it a safer, more comfortable process. Plus, there's no homework. 

ART uses targeted techniques that help you process and resolve trauma effectively, focusing on how memories are stored and experienced without reliving the pain. ART shares some mechanisms with EMDR, particularly the use of bilateral eye movements and the aim of reducing distress associated with traumatic memories. However, ART differs in its structure and focus: sessions are more directive and include scripted interventions that actively guide the client to replace distressing images. 

ART is also briefer in format and many issues are commonly resolved in only one session—many clients complete treatment in fewer sessions than traditional trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE). Importantly, ART is not hypnosis. Clients remain fully alert, oriented, and aware throughout the process. Nor is ART a “band-aid” fix; while it can produce rapid relief, the method works through recognized neurological processes of memory reconsolidation supported by emerging research in affective neuroscience.
