Ketamine is currently being used to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance use disorders (including alcohol use), and other long-standing emotional or psychological challenges. It’s especially helpful for people who’ve tried other treatments that haven’t quite worked. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it can be a powerful catalyst for healing.

One of the modalities I weave into my ketamine work is Hakomi. Hakomi is a beautiful, somatically oriented, mindfulness-based, therapy. It’s gentle but powerful. When working with Hakomi, we slow way down, tune in, and start to notice what our bodies and nervous systems might be holding—sensations, old beliefs, protections, or memories. The body is so very wise, and in Hakomi we respect that wisdom, by getting quiet enough to hear what it's trying to say.

Ketamine Assisted Therapy is a therapeutic process that combines the administration of ketamine—a psychedelic medicine known for its fast-acting antidepressant effects—with supportive psychotherapy. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to work (and sometimes are non- or minimally effective), ketamine has been shown to offer rapid relief, particularly for people with treatment-resistant depression.
