Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Evidence-Based Therapy for Depression,
Anxiety, and Trauma
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative, evidence-based approach that combines ketamine with psychotherapy to support healing from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and related conditions. ​
​
Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for decades and is now widely recognized for its rapid-acting antidepressant effects, often producing relief within hours to days. When paired with psychotherapy, ketamine can help access emotional material, shift entrenched thought patterns, and enhance neuroplasticity, which can allow therapy to work more deeply and efficiently.
My Approach to KAP
Certified by Fluence Training, I provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) within a trauma-informed, relational, and integrative framework. Each client’s process is individualized, with careful attention to preparation, emotional safety, and post-session integration.​
​
To ensure safety and medical oversight, I am able to partner with Journey Clinical, a national provider specializing in ketamine treatment.
​
The process:
-
Initial consultation with me
-
Referral to Journey Clinical for medical evaluation
-
Medical clearance and ketamine prescription
-
Ongoing collaboration between medical and therapeutic care
​​
Journey Clinical manages all medical aspects of ketamine treatment while I provide psychotherapy, preparation, and integration.​​

How KAP Works
Ketamine affects the brain differently than traditional antidepressants. It works on NMDA and AMPA receptors, helping to form new neural connections and temporarily increasing psychological flexibility.
Many people describe the experience as creating distance from habitual narratives, allowing new perspectives and insights to emerge.
​
KAP is not just about the medication nor is it a stand alone intervention. The therapeutic container and integration work are essential to creating lasting change.
​
KAP may be a good fit if you:
-
Have not found relief through traditional therapy or medication
-
Experience treatment-resistant depression or anxiety
-
Are working through trauma or PTSD
-
Feel “stuck” in long-standing emotional patterns
-
Are seeking deeper personal insight and emotional flexibility
