The Arc: An eight-session KAP experience

A supported space to explore what feels ready for change and notice how that change takes shape in your life.

Eight extended, Hakomi-informed KAP sessions, woven together with preparation, integration, personal reflection, and opening and closing filmed self-inquiries.

Something is ready for your attention

Sometimes we know exactly what it is. We feel caught in a familiar pattern, are navigating a significant transition, or want to move toward a different way of living.

At other times, it’s harder to name. We simply sense that the way we’ve been living no longer quite fits—or that something more is possible.

The Arc creates space to explore these questions with continuity and care. Together, we attend to what emerges during your sessions, what happens in the life you’re living between them, and what you begin to understand differently over time.

The process unfolds across eight KAP sessions, with preparation and integration woven throughout. We establish the pace together, guided by your needs and clinical appropriateness.

What would meaningful change look like for you?

This is where we begin.

Before your first KAP session, we explore what brings you to the work, what feels stuck or ready for attention, and what you hope might become possible.

Together, we identify a few personal markers of change. These are grounded in your life and what matters to you.

Perhaps you want to recover more easily after a difficult conversation. Feel more connected to your body. Experience pleasure again. Make a decision you’ve been avoiding. Ask for support. Meet yourself with less criticism.

These markers give us something to return to throughout the process. As the work unfolds, we may also discover that what matters to you is changing.

Eight sessions, connected by an ongoing inquiry

Each extended KAP session includes time to arrive and orient, receive support during the ketamine experience, and begin reflecting as the effects of the medicine subside.

My approach is informed by Hakomi’s mindfulness-based, body-centered way of working. We bring curiosity to what naturally emerges: emotions, images, memories, bodily sensations, beliefs, or unexpected perspectives.

Something discovered in one session may become a thread we follow in the next. An insight may open a conversation, invite a different choice, or change the way you notice a familiar pattern.

Preparation helps us enter the work thoughtfully. Integration gives us time to explore what an experience means to you and how you might respond to it in everyday life.

Throughout, we return to a central question:

How is this showing up in your life?

A way to notice what unfolds

Change can be difficult to recognize while you’re living through it. A meaningful moment may pass quickly. A familiar struggle can make it hard to remember that something else has begun to shift.

Throughout The Arc, brief digital check-ins and optional written reflections help you capture your experience closer to when it happens.

You might record how you’ve been feeling, revisit a personal marker, or note a moment you want us to explore together. When relevant, we also use established questionnaires related to well-being, depression, or anxiety to add another perspective.

There is room to record improvement, uncertainty, frustration, or no noticeable change. You don’t need to have an insight every week.

Together, we use this material to understand your experience more fully and guide the work as it develops.

Time to pause and take stock

At the midpoint, we set aside time to look together at what you’ve been noticing.

What feels different? What remains difficult? Are insights becoming part of everyday life? Is there something about our approach that needs to change?

We bring your reflections, personal markers, and any clinical measures into the conversation alongside your own sense of how things are going.

These reviews are opportunities to listen closely, recognize patterns, and make thoughtful adjustments.

See yourself at two moments in time

The Arc includes the invitation to take part in two filmed self-inquiry sessions: one near the beginning and another toward completion.

These are spacious, depth-oriented conversations informed by my training in Nic Askew’s Inner View method of filmmaking and my work as an experiential therapist.

There is nothing to prepare or perform. We slow down and attend to what is present: what you notice, what moves you, what feels difficult to express, and what becomes clearer as you give it attention.

The films preserve something of who you are at each of these moments. Returning to them can offer another perspective on your experience—through your words, your presence, and what you recognize in yourself.

There is no expectation that the closing film will reveal a particular transformation. Both moments deserve to be met as they are.

Participation in filming is optional. We discuss consent, privacy, storage, and access beforehand. The films are for your personal reflection.

Personal exploration with clinical depth

The questions bringing you here may concern relationships, identity, purpose, creativity, spirituality, or the direction of your life.

The work may also bring you into contact with grief, anxiety, depression, difficult memories, or longstanding emotional patterns.

There is room for these experiences.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I bring clinical attention to both the possibilities you are exploring and the difficulties you may encounter. We remain responsive to what you need, including whether the pace or direction of the work should change.

Your personal map of change

Toward completion, we bring the different parts of the process together.

We revisit your starting intentions, the experiences that stood out, the themes we followed, and the changes you’ve noticed. We also attend to what remains unresolved and what may need continued support.

You leave with a personalized map of your arc: a record of meaningful moments, recurring patterns, challenges, discoveries, and practices you want to carry forward.

It offers a way to remember the work and return to what matters as your life continues to unfold.

Is The Arc right for you?

The Arc may resonate if you want a sustained, supported process for exploring something important in your life.

You may be navigating a transition, working with persistent emotional patterns, or seeking a different relationship with yourself. You may have a clear intention—or simply a question that deserves time and attention.

You don’t need to arrive with a compelling story or a vision of who you should become. A willingness to explore is a place to begin.

The Arc does not promise a particular outcome. It offers a thoughtful structure for exploration, integration, and noticing what happens along the way.

Practical details

Timing
The experience is organized around eight KAP sessions rather than a fixed four-month schedule. We agree on an anticipated rhythm together and revisit it as needed.

Medical care
Ketamine is prescribed separately by a licensed medical provider following an independent medical evaluation. Medication, medical evaluation, and prescribing costs are not included in The Arc fee.

Appropriateness
Participation depends on both psychological and medical appropriateness for ketamine-assisted work. If your needs change, we discuss whether to adjust, pause, or end the process.

Between sessions
Digital reflections support our scheduled work together. They are not continuously monitored. We establish clear expectations for review, communication, and urgent support before beginning.

Begin with a conversation

We’ll talk about where you find yourself now, what is drawing you toward this work, and what you hope might become possible.

You’ll have space to ask about KAP, integration, the filmed self-inquiries, and how we notice and reflect on change together.

The consultation is an opportunity for us both to consider whether The Arc is a good fit.
