Comprehensive Mental Health Services
EMDR Therapy in Santa Fe
As an EMDR consultant, I provide advanced trauma therapy using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This evidence-based practice helps process disturbing memories and experiences, reducing their emotional charge and transforming their impact on daily life. EMDR is particularly effective for PTSD, anxiety, stress-related concerns, and complex trauma.
Couples Therapy in Santa Fe NM
My couples work integrates Gottman Method principles with Internal Family Systems concepts to help partners create deeper intimacy and authentic connection. Whether addressing communication issues, shared trauma such as loss of children, or intimacy concerns, I provide a safe place for both partners to heal and grow together.
My background as a clinical sexologist adds specialized expertise to address intimate concerns with clinical knowledge and compassionate understanding.
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Services
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy This cutting-edge approach combines ketamine's neuroplasticity-enhancing effects with skilled psychotherapeutic guidance. Sessions create opportunities for breakthrough experiences and profound insights about relationship patterns, life purpose, and spiritual understanding.
Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy Representing the frontier of consciousness-based healing, psilocybin therapy harnesses the therapeutic potential of sacred medicine within a carefully structured framework. My shamanic training brings unique depth to this work, creating transformative experiences that often lead to lasting life changes.
Specialized Treatment Areas
Trauma and PTSD Treatment
Trauma isn't just an event—it's how your nervous system continues to respond to perceived threats. Using EMDR, somatic awareness, and psychedelic-assisted therapy when appropriate, I help clients move from chronic activation to regulation and resilience. This evidence-based approach addresses underlying patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode.
My specialized training as a clinical sexologist allows me to provide sensitive, expert care for sexual trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Sexual trauma requires specialized understanding of how these experiences impact both the body and relationships, and I create a safe, non-judgmental space for this deeply personal healing work.
Relationship Counseling
Our early relationships create templates for adult connections. When these include abandonment, betrayal, or emotional unavailability patterns, they can sabotage current relationships. My therapy helps identify unconscious patterns, understand their origins, and develop new skills for healthier relating.
Shared Trauma Support
Some life experiences—loss of children, serious illness, catastrophic events—affect both partners. My specialized approach recognizes that each person processes trauma differently while addressing how trauma impacts the relationship system. Couples can emerge with renewed closeness and resilience.
Spiritual Growth and Integration
Spiritual awakening, questioning beliefs, or integrating mystical experiences can feel destabilizing. My shamanic training allows me to support clients navigating non-ordinary states of consciousness, spiritual emergence, and the process of integrating expanded awareness into daily life.
Who Benefits from Canyon Passages Services

You might be a good fit if you:
Value depth over surface-level solutions
Are curious about expanded states of consciousness
