In addition to in-office & virtual sessions, I also provide at-home dosing sessions for those who prefer to be home.
Hello and welcome! I am a holistic psychotherapist in Bakersfield, California offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy both in-person and online. My formative experience was in community social work in New York City, navigating the frontlines of mental health advocacy for underserved older adults. Since then I've transitioned to the meaningful work of private practice in California. My two adjunctive specialties are perinatal mental health for individuals and co-parenting partners as well as integrative mental health (weaving in sleep, physical health, & gut-brain connections). I see KAP as a timely addition to our current models of care in mental health as we really do need more short-term therapy options that offer sustainable outcomes. My most important task as your therapist is to companion you to the deeper places inside that might feel a little unsafe or difficult to access, and help you open up new possibilities from this vulnerable place, together.
