Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Prepare your mind and heart for meaningful change.

Psychedelic experiences can open the door to deep insight, emotional healing, and spiritual connection. They can also bring uncertainty, vulnerability, and experiences that are difficult to make sense of on your own.

Whether you’re preparing for a journey or making sense of one afterward, therapy offers a space to explore what arises and begin integrating it into your life.

The word “psychedelic” means “mind-revealing.”

What’s my role in your journey?

I offer preparation and integration therapy for individuals working with ketamine or other psychedelics under the care of a licensed medical provider or within a ceremonial setting.

While I don’t facilitate medicine sessions, I help clients prepare with intention, navigate whatever arises, and integrate their experiences into daily life in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Preparation and Integration

No two integration sessions look exactly the same. 
Before your journey, we'll clarify your intentions, identify potential fears or questions, and develop practices that help you feel grounded and supported. Afterward, we'll spend time making sense of what emerged. Together, we'll explore the emotions, images, memories, and insights that surfaced, helping you integrate them into your relationships, daily life, and sense of self.Some sessions may be more experiential. You might engage in Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, guided imagery, or somatic awareness to deepen your understanding.Other sessions are more practical and focused on translating insight into meaningful change.

What's my approach?

My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and narrative therapy.

Together, we’ll explore the parts of you that emerged during your experience with curiosity and compassion. Rather than trying to analyze the experience alone, we’ll help it settle into your nervous system and your everyday life.

I am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy through Naropa University, where I received training grounded in mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy, and trauma-informed care.

We are meaning-making beings.

Integration is the ongoing process of making meaning from what you’ve experienced. Rather than trying to recreate the journey itself, we’ll explore how its insights can shape the way you live, relate, create, and care for yourself.

Sometimes change arrives dramatically. More often, it unfolds quietly through shifts in perspective, greater self-compassion, and a deeper alignment with what matters most.

Now more than ever, men, good men should consider standing next to powerful women and say “YES, I seek therapy!”

I don’t know if I am a good man, but I want to be better, and I want to do better. Life can be challenging, painful, confusing, and lonely at times. But no one has to do it alone. I am grateful that I found Cathy and to be able to go to her for guidance.

Cathy is a patient, kind, compassionate, understanding, and empathetic professional who feels like a supportive and knowledgeable teammate. She does not make me feel less or more — just that this is what’s happening and I can overcome — and she helps me feel seen and heard.

I never feel judged and I feel safe to tell her everything —literally everything, knowing she will help me ground and reflect. I do not want to stagnate if I am stuck in patterns and I do not want to be validated for unrealistic thought processes. Her approach is balanced and I can tell that she truly cares.

Thank you Cathy!

With an incredibly calm and grounding presence, Cathy gently guides you through an exploration of the many parts of ourselves that shape who we are. She creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental, making it easier to be honest and open. Through her caring approach and thoughtfully timed questions, Cathy helps you gain insight into patterns, emotions, and inner parts you may have been unconsciously repressing. Her guidance allows for deeper self-understanding, compassion, and meaningful personal growth. I’m so grateful for my sessions with Cathy and I recommend her to anyone looking to gain a deeper sense of personal exploration and self-understanding.

Cathy is an incredible therapist with a rare capacity to listen deeply, hold compassion, and gently untangle what feels complex.

My IFS (Internal Family Systems) session with her felt like an invitation to meet parts of myself with curiosity and tenderness. Through subtle visual and sensory cues, she guided me into what felt almost like a light hypnotic state, where everything became clearer and more connected.
It’s rare in therapy to move beyond the mind and truly reconnect with the heart and body. With Cathy, that shift happened naturally.

I’m deeply grateful for the experience and highly recommend working with her to anyone seeking meaningful, inner work.

Cathy is a wonderful therapist and an equally wonderful human being. We first met her when she joined one of our immersive tours, and her warmth and gentle presence were instantly noticeable. She carries that same energy into her work as a therapist deeply compassionate, grounded, and truly supportive.

Her approach helps you feel safe, understood, and cared for. If you’re looking for a therapist who leads with both heart and wisdom, Cathy is someone we would genuinely recommend. 🫶🏻

I had such a powerful session with Cathy. She guided me through the Internal Family Systems approach and helped me uncover and understand things from my past that I didn’t fully see before. The session was deeply transformative, and I felt so relieved and liberated afterwards. I highly recommend working with her

Cathy is kind, skilled, intentional, and very approachable 😊. I especially like how she sometimes takes a moment to respond. It's those little thoughtful touches that give her own Cathy flair to her practice that I appreciate.

We hosted a couple of lovely community gatherings together about romantic relationships and grief and she was a pleasure to work with. She did a great job holding the room and bringing skilled professionalism to our gathering. The participants seemed to really value her input and helpful suggestions too 😊.

Thanks Cathy!
