Trauma Recovery & Consultation

Services

Therapeutic Consultation

Navigating your own mental health needs or those of a loved one during a crisis can feel overwhelming. My therapeutic consultation services help you piece together the mental health puzzle, ensuring you have a clear plan to address both your individual needs and your support system requirements.

Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. The value of consultation lies in exploring the variety of mental health interventions available, obtaining an accurate assessment of your challenges, and determining the best course of action for you. This provides you with not just a roadmap for next steps in services and care, but insight into creating sustainable and effective change for yourself and those you care about.

CPTSD Recovery Consultation

For survivors of Cults, TTI, Narcissistic Abuse, and Coercive Systems

Having walked this path myself, I understand the unique challenges you face as a survivor of coercive and traumatizing systems. This specialized consultation service provides targeted support for those healing from cult involvement, troubled teen industry experiences, narcissistic abuse, and other forms of systematic coercion.

“All brains under the same conditions adapt in similar ways.” Understanding this removes the personal shame and self-blame that often accompanies these experiences. We’ll work together to understand the specific impacts of your experience, develop practical tools for your daily life, and create a recovery plan that honors your individual journey while drawing from proven approaches for complex trauma recovery.

You are uniquely qualified to understand what your nervous system needs and what works for your healing—I’m here to support you in accessing and trusting that expertise.

Parent Consultation and Collaboration

After many years working with families, I know that parenting a struggling child can be incredibly challenging, isolating, and exhausting. I believe you are doing your best under extremely difficult circumstances.

Parents are often excluded from the treatment process and given little guidance on how to support your child effectively. My parent consultation focuses on helping you become a “therapeutic” parent. Because you are the “container” in which your child exists, supporting your child begins with supporting you.

As your child’s parent, you are one of the most influential factors in your child’s development. You know your child best and are a valuable resource and asset to your child’s treatment team. By helping you develop your unique parenting skills, understand your own reactions, and find empowerment in challenging moments, I equip you with tools to improve both your relationship with your child and with yourself.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy represents a breakthrough approach for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. This innovative treatment combines the therapeutic benefits of ketamine with guided psychotherapy to help break through barriers that traditional therapy alone may not address.

In KAP sessions, I serve as your collaborator and guide while you remain the expert on your own experience. The ketamine creates a unique therapeutic window that often allows for deeper processing, new perspectives, and accelerated healing. This treatment can be particularly effective for complex trauma survivors who have found traditional approaches insufficient for your healing needs.

Peer-to-Peer Consultation

Individual and Group Consultations for Complex Survivorship

Drawing from my extensive experience with complex trauma and coercive control systems, I offer specialized consultation services for other professionals working with survivors of TTI, cults, narcissistic abuse, and other coercive environments.

These consultations can be conducted individually or in groups and focus on understanding the unique dynamics of complex survivorship, developing effective treatment approaches, and navigating the specific challenges these clients face in their recovery journey.

Compassionate and collaborative care for complex trauma survivors at the intersection of therapy, self-empowerment, and lived experience.
