Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy at Moonstone. I specialize in supporting survivors of complex trauma, with a particular focus on adult survivors of childhood abuse/neglect, and Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) who have experienced trauma.

Through mind-body therapies like Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi and EMDR, I help people befriend and understand their emotions and bodily responses, clarify triggers and stuck points, and feel more grounded in their authentic selves. We won’t just focus on coping and managing—we’ll work on letting go of what no longer serves you and making space for a more aligned, fulfilling way of being.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) naturally builds on this experiential work, offering powerful new possibilities for healing. I’ve witnessed, personally and professionally, how deeply transformative a Ketamine experience can be when held within a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. In our KAP sessions, I will work to prepare you for a safe and fruitful psychedelic experience, support and hold space during your Ketamine session, and assist you in integrating whatever experiences may emerge in this process.

Outside of Moonstone, I work at UT Austin’s Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy, facilitating safe psychedelic experiences in studies exploring their use as a mental health treatment. In my free time, I am a (slightly obsessive) gardener, slowly transforming my yard into a burst of wildflowers. I enjoy doing New York Times Crosswords with my partner, sipping home-made cold brew, and taking endless photos of my dog’s adorable underbite
