Only taking new clients for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)-focused work. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Samadhi Healing Collective in Buffalo. I came to this work through a long path — first as someone interested in how the mind heals, then as a clinician, and eventually as a teacher and consultant to other therapists. For the past fifteen years, my practice has focused almost entirely on complex trauma, dissociation, and the kind of suffering that doesn't yield to ordinary talk therapy. I integrate several approaches: EMDR (I'm an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant and certified EMDR therapist), Internal Family Systems and ego state work, somatic and polyvagal-informed therapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. KAP, when it's a good fit, can soften the protective walls that trauma builds and make room for the deeper work to actually land. A long contemplative background — Buddhist psychology, Sufi wisdom traditions, and other lineages — shapes how I sit with people. The work is slower than people often expect, more attentive, and far more respectful of what your inner system is already doing to protect you. Many of the people I see have done years of therapy that helped in some ways but didn't reach the deepest layers. Others are coming to therapy for the first time and want to do it with someone who takes the whole of human experience — body, mind, relationships, meaning — seriously. If any of this resonates, I'd welcome a conversation. The first step is a free email consultation, where we can talk about what's bringing you in and whether we're the right fit.
