Services for Mental Well-being
For mental health care I focus on a holistic and inclusive approach. I value your voice and am committed to exploring a range of treatments, from psychiatric medication to natural remedies, psychotherapy, Eastern practices, and expanded states of consciousness*. While my expertise lies in medication management, I work with you to create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs. My services for mental well-being are Holistic Psychiatry, Integration Support, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, and Navigating Life Transitions.
I see medications as supportive tools, used minimally and effectively to complement a healthy lifestyle, psychotherapy & holistic modalities. It is important to me to have sufficient time in our sessions to develop strong rapport & incorporate therapeutic modalities, in addition to clinical assessment & treatment planning. Together, we’ll navigate your mental health journey, integrating diverse methods for lasting well-being and growth.
Are these services for you?
At my practice, I prioritize a collaborative and holistic approach to mental health care. I work with clients who are committed to integrating a healthy lifestyle into their overall well-being. The best patient fit is with clients who are open to incorporating these practices in addition to our work together: ongoing psychotherapy (I will consult with your therapist as needed), healthy sleep habits, nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness practices.
Please note that I refer patients out for stimulant prescriptions. Additionally, I refer clients with a history of bipolar disorder, other psychotic disorders, adult suicide attempts, recent psychiatric hospitalization, dual diagnosis, eating disorders, or active substance abuse.
If you're ready to commit to a healthy lifestyle and are looking for a supportive partner in your mental health journey, I invite you to reach out.
Holistic Psychiatry
If you are curious to explore how medications can support you with someone who allows time for attending to emotional and therapeutic needs that may arise in the moment, I provide virtual psychiatric medication management (including ketamine prescribing with direct clinician referral), focused on depression, anxiety, and trauma-informed care.
Your initial treatment begins with a comprehensive 50-minute intake, followed by 25-minute follow-up sessions. I tailor the frequency of these follow-ups to your needs, ranging from every two weeks initially to once every 1-3 months as you progress. Please note that these services are available to clients residing in California.
Ketamine-assisted Therapy
If you are interested in ketamine assisted therapy (KAT), I offer three hour KAT sessions. Before we have our first ketamine session, we will meet for a Holistic Psychiatry intake. We will then continue with a minimum of two, and typically four, 50 minute preparatory sessions to discuss goals, develop intentions, and build rapport before embarking in an altered state of consciousness together. A minimum of two integration sessions after each KAT session are required. I typically request that clients commit to a series of three KAT sessions with associated preparation and integration sessions, to allow for sufficient experience with ketamine to evaluate if KAT is supportive of your treatment goals.
*Booking of these sessions are on hold until 2025.
Integration Support
If you are considering or currently embarking on psychedelic journeys or ketamine-assisted therapy, I offer 50-minute preparation and integration sessions. I’m experienced in a variety of psychedelic settings, including guided 1:1 models, self-guided, peer-to-peer, ceremonial, and group environments.
My deep experience with Southern Traditions, plant dietas, and teaching enriches my approach to supporting your integration journey. I have trained in Ketamine Assisted therapy with the KRIYA Institute, and have been working with ketamine clinically since 2017. I’ve had the honor to guest teach at places such as Psychedelic Science, The California Institute of Integral Studies Center for Psychedelic Therapies & Research, & the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics.
Navigating Life Transitions
If you are going through a significant shift in life such as career change, professional or romantic relationship completion, or grief I’m here to support you. We work together to help you move into your next chapter in alignment with your dreams and balance with your needs. In my 30s and 40s, I faced several significant life transitions, ranging from health crises and career shifts to grief.
These experiences gave me opportunities to align more deeply with my passions and creative impact on the world. I discovered that I gained the most from these moments of transition by supporting myself with lifestyle adaptations, a blend of holistic and allopathic medicine, emotional alchemy, cultivating spaciousness, and a devoted spiritual practice. Now, I’m passionate about helping others through their own transitions, empowering you to embrace change with confidence and clarity, and optimizing how you bring your unique gifts into the world.
