You can be doing everything right and still feel far from yourself.
A trauma-informed therapy practice for thoughtful, high-functioning adults — the ones who look fine on paper and feel anything but. Talk therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and psychedelic integration in South Austin and across Texas.
Hill Country cedar
You look fine on the outside. Inside, you are quietly tired of holding it all together.
- 01
The overachieving people-pleaser
You learned early that being capable was safer than being honest. Now the cost of holding it all together is starting to show — in your body, in your relationships, in the way you talk to yourself when no one is listening.
- 02
The one who is fine, mostly
On paper your life looks like it should feel good. Inside, there is a thrum of anxiety, a flatness, a sense of watching yourself from a few feet behind. You are tired of explaining why you are fine.
- 03
The recurring pattern
You see the same dynamic show up in relationship after relationship — the same shape of conflict, the same place you go quiet, the same person you become. Insight has not been enough. You want to know why, and you want it to change.
- 04
The one who has tried therapy
You have done good work elsewhere. You can name the patterns and articulate the wounds. Something else is asking for attention now — somatic, relational, perhaps unspoken. You are curious about going deeper.
If you read any of these and felt something tighten or quiet down, that is information. We can start there.
Three doorways into the same room.
Most clients begin with weekly talk therapy. Some come specifically for ketamine-assisted work. Some are already mid-journey somewhere else and need a steady person to help them integrate. The thread between them is the same: careful attention to what your system has been carrying.

Talk Therapy
Long-form relational work for adults navigating anxiety, identity, attachment patterns, complex trauma, and the slow project of becoming more honest with yourself. We move at the pace your nervous system can metabolize — not faster.

A structured, evidence-informed protocol for clients who have done good work in talk therapy and want to reach material that talking has not yet touched. Sessions are held within an established therapeutic relationship — never as a standalone experience.

Psychedelic Prep & Integration
If you are preparing for or returning from a psychedelic experience — a retreat, a ceremony, a self-directed journey — integration is where the experience becomes durable change. I work with people across the prep-to-integration arc, with care and without judgment.
- Pre-experience intention work
- Post-experience integration
- No moralizing, no woo
Slow enough to notice.
Steady enough to change.
The work I do is integrative. That word gets used loosely, so let me be specific: it means I do not believe a single modality can do justice to a whole person. In any given session we might move between relational dialogue, parts work, somatic tracking, and — when appropriate — experiential techniques that take us beneath the cognitive layer.
What stays constant is the lens. Trauma-informed is not a marketing phrase here; it is a commitment to pacing, consent, and nervous-system safety as preconditions to any deeper work. The protective parts of you that made this life possible are honored before they are asked to step back.
When we add ketamine-assisted psychotherapy or psychedelic integration to the picture, the same lens applies — with more structure and more care. These are not shortcuts; they are tools that, used inside a steady therapeutic relationship, can help reach material that talking alone may not.
-
Integrative
Drawing from relational psychodynamic, parts work (IFS-informed), somatic, and experiential modalities — chosen for the person in front of me, not the manual.
-
Trauma-informed
Pacing, consent, and nervous-system safety come before insight. We do not push through; we make room.
-
Somatic-aware
Your body has been keeping notes for a long time. We listen to those notes — what tightens, what softens, what wants to move.
-
Collaborative
You are the expert on your inner life. I bring tools, presence, and a framework. The direction is something we make together.
I have been on the other side of this work.
I came to this work the long way. For years I was the capable one — the achiever, the friend who held it together, the person whose internal life had to wait until everything else was handled. From the outside, it looked like a life I had chosen. From the inside, it felt like a life I was performing.
What changed me, eventually, was therapy that took the body seriously, parts work that introduced me to the protective machinery underneath my competence, and experiential work that helped me feel — not just understand — what wholeness might mean. The path was not linear. I am still on it.
I bring that lived experience into the room with me. It does not replace clinical training; it sits alongside it. It is part of why I can hold space for high-functioning people who are quietly exhausted, without making them feel small or pathological for asking for help.
Simple, transparent, human-paced.
I try to make logistics quiet so the work can be loud. Everything you might want to know about scheduling, fees, and how this practice operates — in plain English.
Same rate across all service types — talk therapy, KAP, and integration. KAP includes additional medical and dosing-session fees handled by the prescribing provider.
A limited number of reduced-fee slots
Reserved for clients for whom the standard rate is a meaningful barrier. Ask honestly; we will figure it out together.
Private pay, with superbills for out-of-network reimbursement
I do not bill insurance directly. Many clients submit superbills to their PPO and receive partial reimbursement. I will help you understand what to ask your plan.
