Clinical Psychologist
Arroyo Grande CA
I work collaboratively with clients to meet you where you are and guide you through the steps to discover and amplify your truth and enact it in your daily life. I specialize in helping people with highly sensitive nervous systems and neurodivergence of various kinds, including the presentations commonly referred to as Autistic people, Highly Sensitive People, and people with ADHD. Not everyone identifies with these terms but for many, they are helpful and provide a road map for maneuvering life's inevitable challenges.
I'm a queer, highly sensitive, Autistic, and enthusiastic therapist, parent to an only child, and human be-ing. I love resting in a soft cozy bed, hula hoop dancing, bodyboarding, wandering nature, trying many different types of chocolate, lifting weights, spending time with animals, and exploring new places with my family when I'm not working.
For California residents:
I partner with Journey Clinical to offer remote, at-home Ketamine-assisted therapy for eligible clients. Choose between sessions with me alongside you for more structure or self-directed therapy sandwiched between our check-ins for the more experienced psychonaut.
I will soon offer the Safe and Sound Listening Therapy Protocol (SSP) to help with overstimulation and social difficulties and I'm in the process of training in Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size philosophies. The SSP is a great complement to psychedelic-assisted therapy and many clients describe the results similarly.
For people who have pre-established relationships with Psilocybin, MDMA, and Cannabis as mental-health enhancing and supportive allies, I am here to assist with preparation and integration therapy. We should all have equal access to the healing potential of these medicines in the container of safety and harm reduction. I support people who utilize microdosing of any kind as well. I do this to maximize your chances of successful outcomes and reduce any possible harm from misunderstanding or accidentally misusing these powerful substances. I provide resources from a comprehensive library of related articles, books, manuals, and more. Please note that I am not a source for medicines, aside from my connection to the medical team at Journey Clinical's and their ability to provide eligible clients with Ketamine prescriptions.
Please reach out with any questions or for more information, read through the FAQs on my website. I hope I may be of help and if I can't, I'd love to be able to provide you with information and resources that can.
