About Mandy

If you’re considering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), you may be searching for a new way to heal, grow, and find relief from Anxiety, Depression, or Trauma. You are not alone in that search, and I am here to guide you with compassion, and an open mind. I am a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression and attachment wounds. With training in Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing, I incorporate a variety of approaches to help you access and process emotions in ways that feel safe and transformative. KAP is a powerful therapeutic tool that can enhance self-awareness, deepen insight, and facilitate emotional healing. However, it’s not just about the medicine—it’s about the relationship, the setting, and the process. My role is to offer a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
