Frequently Asked Questions

Each session is a collaborative and supportive space tailored to your unique needs. We may explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences through therapeutic dialogue, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. Sessions can include processing past experiences, developing coping strategies, and deepening self-understanding. My approach is integrative, meaning we may draw from various psychological, contemplative, and body-based techniques to support your healing.
Psychotherapy can be beneficial if you’re navigating life transitions, processing grief or trauma, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or seeking greater emotional well-being. My approach is especially suited for those interested in mind-body integration, nervous system regulation, and contemplative or holistic healing practices. If you're unsure, we can discuss your goals in a consultation to see if this approach resonates with you.
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, needs, and the depth of the work. Some people find short-term therapy helpful for addressing specific concerns, while others engage in longer-term work for deeper self-exploration and transformation. We will collaborate to determine a timeline that feels supportive for you.

Psychotherapy

Not at all! Yoga therapy is for everyone, regardless of experience, flexibility, or physical ability. The practice is adapted to meet you where you are, using gentle movement and breath awareness to support healing and self-discovery.
That’s completely understandable! Yoga therapy isn’t about performance or perfect poses—it’s about using movement and breath as tools for healing. I’ll guide you in a way that feels comfortable, and there’s no pressure to do anything that doesn’t feel right for you.
No, yoga therapy is a tailored therapeutic service that combines the benefits of yoga with mental health strategies, designed to support emotional and psychological healing. It is conducted one-on-one or in small groups by a specially trained therapist. Group yoga classes focus on physical fitness and flexibility, and take place in larger groups with standardized routines.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used in medical settings for decades. At lower, controlled doses, it has psychedelic-like effects that can help shift perception, access unconscious material, and promote emotional processing. Research has shown that ketamine can rapidly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD by creating new neural connections in the brain. When combined with psychotherapy, it serves as a powerful tool for deep healing and transformation.
A KAP session begins with grounding and intention-setting before you take ketamine in a safe, supportive environment. You may experience shifts in perception, emotional release, or expanded awareness. I will be present throughout to provide guidance and reassurance. Afterward, we will process your experience, helping you integrate insights and apply them to your healing journey.
The 9-week structure allows for a gradual, intentional approach to working with ketamine. The first week is dedicated to orientation—establishing a therapeutic relationship, setting intentions, and preparing you for the experience. The following 8 weeks include ketamine sessions, giving you time to become familiar with the medicine, adjust dosage as needed, and fully engage in the therapeutic process. This timeline provides space to integrate insights, navigate emotional processing, and cultivate lasting transformation.

Each session includes a combination of gentle yoga postures, guided meditation, breathwork, and time for reflection. The group also incorporates therapeutic discussion and emotional processing, which I facilitate as a provisionally licensed therapist under the supervision of Amber Crosby at Ananda Mental Wellness and Yoga. Some sessions may also include journaling or other reflective practices to support deeper integration.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. You may also want to bring a yoga mat, a journal, water, and any props you like (such as a bolster, blanket, or blocks). If you don’t have props, some may be provided.
Emotions can surface unexpectedly, and this is a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where all emotions are welcome. You’re encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks as needed, and engage in whatever feels supportive for you. As a provisionally licensed therapist, I am here to help guide the process and ensure you feel safe and supported throughout the session.

Before your first session, you’ll need to complete all intake forms and, if applicable, provide insurance information. This ensures we have everything in place for a smooth start. For each session, I recommend setting aside some quiet time beforehand to check in with yourself and reflect on any thoughts, emotions, or experiences you’d like to explore. If you’re participating in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, we’ll also discuss additional preparation, such as dietary considerations and setting an intention for your experience.
I accept most insurance plans for psychotherapy sessions. However, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and yoga therapy are not covered by insurance and are offered as private-pay services.
You can schedule or reschedule an appointment by contacting me directly via email or phone. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a late cancellation fee. I understand that life happens, and I’ll do my best to accommodate schedule changes when possible.
