Brainspotting-Informed Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

I’m a Brainspotting Consultant, Certified Psychedelic Assisted Therapist, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy provider who became slightly obsessed with what happens in therapy when we stop trying to force healing to happen cognitively. For years, I found myself at a loss when working with clients processing "Big T and Little t" traumatic experiences.  I found myself drawn toward the moments in sessions where words started falling short: when someone’s nervous system, body sensations, imagery, silence, or emotional experience seemed to be communicating something deeper than insight alone could reach. That curiosity eventually led me into Brainspotting and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), where I began exploring non-ordinary states, subcortical processing, relational attunement, and the incredible intelligence of the brain and body. I started integrating Brainspotting concepts into KAP work in a way that felt more relational, more flexible, and more connected to the nervous system rather than rigid frameworks or overly scripted interventions. Ironically, one of the biggest shifts in my clinical work happened when I stopped trying to eliminate uncertainty and started learning how to stay present inside it. I’m excited to share this work because I know so many practitioners are searching for frameworks that help them feel more grounded, more trauma-informed, and more connected when working with non-ordinary states. My biggest goal with teaching is to help practitioners trust themselves more and to slow down enough to actually track what’s happening in the room. I aim to create spaces where therapists can think deeply, stay relational, and approach KAP work through a brain-body lens that honors process, pacing, humanity, and the nervous system.
