Ketamine Therapy in Portland, OR
A Relational, Depth-Oriented Approach to Healing with Altered States of Consciousness
​
I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for people seeking meaningful, lasting transformation — not just symptom relief. This work integrates medicine and mindfulness, presence and process, to help you reconnect with your innate capacity for healing and growth.
​
What Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Offers
While many people search for ketamine therapy, what I provide is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy — a relational, depth-oriented process that weaves the medicine experience into psychotherapy.
KAP combines the neurobiological benefits of ketamine with the healing power of presence, integration, and meaning-making.
​
This approach can help you:
-
Loosen entrenched narratives and mental defenses
-
Access emotional or experiential material that feels out of reach
-
Reconnect with vitality, clarity, and inner guidance
-
Expand self-awareness and openness to change
-
Support healing that feels embodied and enduring

What to Expect in a KAP Process​
​
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough conversation to explore your goals, history, and readiness. Together, we determine whether KAP is the right fit.
​
2. Medical Clearance
You’ll meet with a licensed medical provider for a health screening and prescription of ketamine (typically via lozenge or intramuscular injection).
​
3. Preparation Sessions
We clarify your intentions, establish trust, and prepare for the altered state experience.
4. Dosing Sessions
Ketamine is administered by the prescriber while I hold attuned therapeutic space. You’re guided gently, with safety and support.
​
5. Integration Sessions
In the days and weeks that follow, we process imagery, emotion, and insight — translating the experience into embodied change.
6. Ongoing Medical Follow-Ups
You’ll continue to check in with the prescribing provider for any medical support needed as your process unfolds.
This is not a transactional model. It’s a collaborative journey rooted in depth, safety, and relational presence.
​
For clients outside the Portland area, I also offer telehealth KAP across Oregon — including preparation and integration sessions held remotely in collaboration with your prescribing provider.
​
My Approach as a Ketamine Therapist
I work with clients who are ready for depth, not just relief. As a trauma-informed and spiritually grounded therapist, I hold space with steadiness, curiosity, and deep respect for your process.
My focus is on attunement, integration, and supporting the transformation that happens within and between — not only during the medicine session, but across the arc of the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What conditions can Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy help with?
KAP may support people navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, relational stuckness, or existential distress — especially when other approaches have plateaued.
​
2. How is KAP different from standard ketamine treatment?
In KAP, the altered state is integrated into an ongoing therapeutic process. The focus is on meaning, embodiment, and lasting change — not on dosing alone.
3. Do I need to live in Portland for KAP?
No. While I offer in-person Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in Portland, I also work with clients across Oregon via telehealth. Preparation and integration sessions can be held remotely, in coordination with the prescribing provider.
