Ketamine-Assisted EMDR & Somatic Integration
For individuals navigating severe depression, chronic trauma, or an over-activated nervous system, traditional approaches can sometimes reach a plateau. When the body remains stuck in survival mode, combining Ketamine Therapy with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) offers a powerful pathway to healing.
I specialize in Ketamine-Assisted EMDR and Somatic Integration. While I do not prescribe or administer ketamine, I partner with trusted medical providers to guide clients through the crucial psychological and somatic work that transforms temporary relief into lasting change.
How Ketamine & EMDR Work Together
The Science of Neuroplasticity and Trauma Processing Ketamine acts as a catalyst by quieting rigid, depressive neural pathways and creating a temporary "window of neuroplasticity"—a period where the brain is uniquely flexible and open to new ways of feeling and thinking.
Pairing this neuroplastic state with EMDR and Somatic Therapy allows us to:
Target Deep Memory Networks: Access and process painful memories or core beliefs that previously felt too overwhelming or locked in the body.
Re-Pattern the Nervous System: Use Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to track physical sensations, discharge trapped survival energy, and anchor safety in the body.
Lock in Insights (Integration): Translate the profound emotional shifts from your ketamine experiences into practical, sustainable daily life patterns.
My Role vs. Your Medical Provider
Collaborative, Team-Based Care Your healing is supported by a clear separation of medical administration and specialized therapy:
Your Medical Provider (Prescription & Administration): Handles your medical screening, dosing, and physiological safety during infusions or doses.
My Role (EMDR & Somatic Integration): Prepares your nervous system prior to treatment, facilitates targeted EMDR sessions during the neuroplastic window, and integrates your experiences into long-term somatic healing.
