Trauma Therapy & Psychedelic-Assisted Treatment in El Segundo
With over 25 years of dedicated experience in somatic trauma therapy, I specialize in helping adults heal through evidence-based, integrative approaches. My practice combines Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PSIP) to address deep-seated emotional wounds, particularly those rooted in preverbal trauma. By integrating these modalities, I provide clients with a powerful framework for processing unresolved emotions stored in the body, fostering lasting healing through relational connection. As a certified ISTDP therapist and master-level PSIP practitioner, I offer both individual therapy sessions and comprehensive training programs for mental health professionals worldwide.My teletherapy services extend care beyond geographical boundaries, while my El Segundo office provides a safe, confidential space for in-person sessions. I maintain a PPO provider status with most insurance companies, ensuring accessibility through out-of-network reimbursement options. My commitment to advancing trauma treatment is reflected in my clinical supervision programs and curated resource recommendations for clients seeking additional support.

Services
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
This innovative treatment combines psychotherapy with legally sanctioned psychedelic substances like ketamine and cannabis to address deep-seated trauma. By temporarily softening cognitive defenses, the therapy enables direct access to bodily-stored emotions, facilitating accelerated healing of preverbal trauma through guided therapeutic processing.
ISTDP Therapy
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy targets emotional blocks through structured, evidence-based techniques. This approach rapidly identifies and resolves unconscious defense mechanisms, helping clients process suppressed emotions and improve emotional regulation through focused therapeutic interventions.
Therapist Training
Experiential training programs teach psychedelic-assisted therapy techniques to licensed professionals. Participants gain mastery in PSIP methodology through supervised practice, case studies, and skill-building exercises designed to enhance clinical effectiveness in trauma treatment.
Clinical Supervision
Individual and group supervision sessions support therapists developing expertise in ISTDP and PSIP modalities. These sessions focus on refining clinical skills, addressing complex cases, and maintaining ethical standards through structured feedback and professional guidance.
Teletherapy Services
Secure virtual therapy sessions provide accessible mental health care using encrypted platforms. This service maintains therapeutic continuity for clients regardless of location, offering flexible scheduling while preserving confidentiality and treatment quality.
