Meet the Team
Our team is made up of warm, trauma-informed clinicians who share a commitment to presence, integrity, and compassionate care. Each therapist brings their own clinical training, perspective, and strengths to the work, while being grounded in the same values that guide everything we do at Expand Your Self Wellness. Our clinicians specialize in integrative therapy, trauma therapy, EMDR, somatic work, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), supporting clients through anxiety, depression, and long-standing patterns that have not fully resolved.
We believe that feeling safe, seen, and understood is foundational to healing. We invite you to explore our team and connect with the therapist who feels like the right fit for you and where you are in your process.
