Ketamine Therapy for Highly Sensitive People
I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for neurodivergent and highly sensitive people in Colorado and California.
What ketamine therapy Can Help With
- anxiety, rumination, or burnout
- trauma or PTSD, including developmental trauma
- grief, perfectionism, or harsh self-criticism
- feeling stuck in patterns that don’t shift through talk therapy
- emotional numbness or disconnection
- spiritual or existential questions about life and purpose
This work can be particularly powerful for highly sensitive and neurodivergent people whose nervous systems process experience deeply.
What is ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines the medicine of ketamine with the depth and safety of trauma-informed therapy.
Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for more than 50 years and is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines. In therapeutic settings, low doses can temporarily increase neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to form new connections), allowing rigid emotional patterns to soften and new insights to emerge.
When paired with skilled psychotherapy, this opening can support meaningful emotional healing and lasting change. This approach can be especially supportive for highly sensitive people who may feel overwhelmed or stuck in traditional approaches.
what can ketamine therapy make possible?
Not something you have to force or figure out, but something that unfolds through new experiences of yourself, your emotions, and your inner world.
- Access to parts of yourself that feel just out of reach
- A softening of patterns that keep you stuck
- A shift from overthinking into direct experience
- New perspectives and expanded awareness
- A deeper connection to yourself and your truth
- Moments of clarity that can shift how you see your life
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy unfolds in three stages:
The KAP Process
preparation
Before your ketamine therapy session, we meet to explore your intentions, hopes, and questions. This helps your nervous system feel grounded and ready for the experience. You will also meet with a licensed medical provider who reviews your health history and prescribes the medication.
Medicine Session
Ketamine therapy sessions take place in my peaceful, comfortable office. You take a prescribed sublingual (under the tongue) dose of ketamine and recline with music and optional eye shades.
The medicine experience typically lasts about 40–60 minutes, with the full session lasting around 3 hours including preparation and grounding. I remain present with you throughout the experience.
integration
Integration sessions occur within a few days of your ketamine experience while your brain is still in a window of heightened neuroplasticity. This is where we explore insights, emotions, and themes that emerged so they can translate into real change in your life.
My work is relational, trauma-informed, and deeply attuned to highly sensitive and neurodivergent nervous systems.
Rather than pushing for intensity, I focus on helping you move at a pace your body and psyche can integrate. My role is to provide a steady, grounded presence while supporting you in making meaning of what emerges.
The medicine may open the door, but therapy is what helps transformation take root.
I’m based in Colorado and work virtually with clients in Colorado and California. Ketamine therapy sessions take place in person at my Colorado office. Clients in California are invited to travel for a ketamine intensive, with the option to continue subsequent sessions virtually.

Is KAP Right for You?
Many ketamine clinics provide medication without psychotherapy.
While this can bring temporary relief, deeper change usually happens when the medicine experience is integrated within an ongoing therapeutic process.
Ketamine-assisted therapy combines both (preparation, medicine session, and integration) so the experience becomes meaningful and lasting.
