Together we will embark on a gentle exploration, recognizing the potential these sessions hold for well-being and growth. The path is yours to tread at a pace that feels right for you. I'm happy to discuss which of my offerings may be right for you.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) & Plant Medicine
In partnership with Journey Clinical, I offer therapeutic Ketamine sessions in my Brooklyn or Glen Cove, NY office. Each dosing session is tailored to your individual process and supported by regular therapy sessions to support the healthy integration of the awareness offered through the medicine.
If you are interested in exploring what medicines other that Ketamine may be supportive for you, I am happy to offer consultation on the possibilities available to you based on my experience in harm reduction and research.
