I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist based in Austin, Texas, with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is offered as part of my ongoing psychotherapy practice at Grace Therapy & Wellness, and is grounded in the same depth-oriented, relational approach that shapes all of my clinical work.

My approach to KAP is rooted in a deep respect for your internal wisdom and capacity for healing. I don’t view ketamine as the treatment itself, but as a tool that—when used thoughtfully and ethically—can help access parts of the self that are often difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone. The heart of this work is the therapeutic relationship, attuned presence, and careful integration of what emerges.

KAP sessions involve your whole self—body, emotions, mind, and inner experience. We take time to prepare beforehand, attend closely to what arises during sessions, and integrate the experience afterward so that insights can be grounded into your daily life in a way that supports lasting change.

This work draws from my broader clinical orientation, including Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed) parts work, EMDR, somatic and experiential techniques, mindfulness, and Buddhist psychology. These approaches are woven into KAP in a flexible, collaborative way rather than through rigid protocols. Depth, insight, and meaning-making are central to how I work; this is not a behavioral or symptom-management-only model.

Also important to note:

I’ve completed formal training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through Polaris Insight Center and have participated & continue to participate in experiential KAP programs for clinicians through Moonstone Counseling. partner with Journey Clinical, who serves as the medical prescriber and manages all medication-related and medical aspects of care, allowing me to focus fully on the therapeutic process.

Continuing to learn and grow as a KAP provider is deeply important to me. I’m committed to the ethical use of ketamine in psychotherapy and view this work as an evolving practice that requires ongoing education, reflection, and care.

KAP is offered alongside traditional psychotherapy within my practice at Grace Therapy & Wellness, and may be integrated with ongoing therapy depending on your needs and goals.

If this approach resonates, I’d be glad to explore whether ketamine-assisted psychotherapy might be a supportive next step for you.
