Four-month KAP intensive
There are periods in life when something is ready to change.
Sometimes we know exactly what it is. We may feel caught in a familiar pattern, navigating a significant transition, or wanting 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 is a four-month Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) intensive designed for these moments in life.
Over four months, we work together through eight extended, Hakomi-informed KAP sessions, supported by preparation, integration, personal reflection, and a thoughtful process for noticing change as it happens.
The work is bookended by two depth-oriented Filmed Self-Inquiry sessions—one near the beginning and another toward the completion of our time together. Together, they offer an unusual opportunity to encounter yourself deeply at two different moments in your life and witness what unfolds between them.
This isn't intended to create a dramatic “before and after.” It is an opportunity to see yourself more clearly and give meaningful change sustained attention.
Creating the Conditions for Change
A ketamine experience can open something—a new perspective, an unexpected feeling, a different relationship to something that has felt fixed for a long time. But meaningful change rarely happens in a single moment.
The Arc creates a sustained period of time to explore what emerges, return to it, experiment with it, and notice how it begins to show up in your life.
Across four months, each KAP session becomes part of a larger process. Something discovered in one experience may become a thread we follow in the next. An insight may lead to a different choice, a new conversation, or simply a new way of noticing yourself. At other times, familiar patterns may return and offer another opportunity for exploration.
The work happens both within the KAP sessions and in the life you are living between them.
By paying attention across time, we create the opportunity not simply to have meaningful experiences, but to explore how those experiences might become part of meaningful and lasting change.
The Arc of the Work
1. Begin
We start by understanding where you find yourself now: what is bringing you to this work, what feels stuck or ready for attention, what matters to you, and what meaningful change might actually look like in your life.
Together, we identify several personal markers of change—experiences, capacities, relationships, or behaviors that would tell you something important is shifting. Depending on what brings you to the work, we may also use established measures related to depression, anxiety, wellbeing, trauma, or other areas of concern.
Numbers won't define your experience. They simply give us another perspective from which to notice what happens over time.
2. Opening Filmed Self-Inquiry
Near the beginning of The Arc, we set aside time for a depth-oriented filmed exploration of where you find yourself at this particular moment in your life.
This is not a conventional interview or simply an opportunity to document your thoughts. The filmmaking session is an experience in its own right—a space to slow down, turn toward your immediate experience, and discover what emerges when you are met with sustained presence and attention.
There is no script and nothing you need to prepare or perform. Rather than trying to tell the story of your life, we stay close to what is happening in the moment—what you notice, what moves you, what becomes alive, and what may be waiting just beneath the surface.
My approach is informed by my training in Nic Askew's Inner View method of filmmaking, as well as the depth-oriented, experiential sensibility I bring to my work as a therapist.
The camera becomes part of the witnessing process. What emerges is both an experience of self-inquiry and a film that preserves something of this particular moment in your life.
3. Explore
Across four months, we meet for eight extended KAP sessions, generally twice each month.
Each session provides time for arriving and orienting, entering the ketamine experience, being supported throughout it, and beginning to explore what emerges as the effects of the medicine subside.
The work is informed by Hakomi's mindfulness-based, body-centered approach. Rather than trying to manufacture a particular experience or breakthrough, we become curious about what naturally emerges—images, emotions, memories, bodily experiences, beliefs, impulses, or new perspectives.
Something discovered in one session may become a thread that continues into the next, or begins showing up unexpectedly in everyday life. Over time, we follow those threads.
4. Notice
An important part of The Arc happens between our KAP sessions. This is where insights encounter your actual life.
Throughout the four months, we use a personalized approach to noticing and tracking change. This may include established measures such as the PHQ-9 for depression or GAD-7 for anxiety when relevant, alongside indicators that matter specifically to you.
You might notice that you're more able to tolerate uncertainty, less reactive in an important relationship, more connected to your body, experiencing pleasure again, making decisions you've been avoiding, or beginning to imagine a different future.
Brief, secure written, audio, or video reflections can help us capture these experiences closer to when they occur.
This isn't about constantly evaluating yourself. It's about becoming curious about your own experience—and noticing changes that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
5. Integrate
Insight can be powerful, but insight alone doesn't necessarily change how we live. Throughout The Arc, we continually return to one central question: How is this showing up in your life?
We pay attention both to moments when something different becomes possible and to places where familiar patterns return. Neither is treated as success or failure. Both give us information.
Over time, we begin mapping the territory we've traveled together: significant experiences, recurring themes, challenges, experiments, turning points, changes in relationships or symptoms, and changes in how you relate to yourself.
Together, these begin to reveal the shape of your arc.
Personal Change With Clinical Depth
The Arc is fundamentally oriented toward meaningful personal change. We might explore questions of purpose, relationship, identity, creativity, spirituality, work, or the direction you want your life to take.
But meaningful inner work doesn't always stay neatly within the boundaries of “personal growth.”
Grief may emerge. Anxiety or depression may become part of the landscape. Old relational patterns may become clearer. Difficult memories or trauma may surface. Ketamine itself may bring us into contact with unexpected vulnerability, fear, sadness, or uncertainty.
There is room for all of this.
The Arc is facilitated by a licensed psychotherapist, which means the process can hold both the possibilities you are moving toward and the psychological difficulties you may encounter along the way. This is particularly important with KAP because we cannot know in advance exactly what an experience will bring forward.
Nothing needs to be pushed aside because it doesn't fit a narrative of growth or transformation. Whatever emerges can become part of the work.
6. Closing Filmed Self-Inquiry
Near the end of our four months together, we return to the depth-oriented filmmaking process.
Again, there is nothing you need to demonstrate and no expectation that the experience will reveal a particular kind of transformation. We simply become curious about the person who is here now.
The opening and closing films preserve two moments in your life separated by four months of lived experience. Alongside our work together, your reflections, personal markers, and the territory we've mapped, they offer another way of witnessing the arc as a whole.
We might become curious about what has changed and what hasn't, what surprised you, what you understand differently, what you've discovered about yourself, and what now seems to be emerging.
Your Arc
Toward the completion of our work, we bring these different ways of knowing together: your experiences during KAP, your life between sessions, your reflections, your personal markers of change, clinical measures where useful, the two filmed self-inquiries, and the themes and turning points we've followed together.
The purpose isn't to produce a report card demonstrating whether the process “worked.”
Instead, we look back together at the territory you've traveled.
You leave with a personal record of the process—and a clearer understanding of where you've been, where you find yourself now, and what you want to carry forward.

Who Is The Arc For?
The Arc may be particularly meaningful if you sense that you are at an important threshold in your life.
You might be navigating a change in relationship, career, identity, spirituality, creativity, or the direction of your life. You may be working with depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, longstanding emotional patterns, or a persistent sense of being stuck.
Or the question bringing you here may be harder to name.
You may simply recognize that the way you've been living no longer feels entirely possible—and want the time, support, and attention to discover what might come next.
The Arc doesn't promise transformation. It creates a sustained space in which something different can be explored, experienced, practiced, integrated, and witnessed.
The Commitment
The Arc takes place across approximately four months, with extended KAP sessions generally occurring twice per month and preparation, reflection, integration, and filmmaking woven throughout the process.
Because of the depth and continuity of the work, participation is limited.
Investment
$14,500
Payment plans are available: four monthly payments of $3,625.
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.
Participation is contingent upon both psychological and medical appropriateness for ketamine-assisted work.
Begin The Arc
The first step is a consultation.
We'll talk about where you find yourself now, what is drawing you toward this kind of work, and what you hope might become possible. I'll also answer questions about KAP, the four-month process, the filmmaking, and how we approach noticing and documenting change.
There is no expectation that a consultation will lead to participation. It's an opportunity for us to determine together whether The Arc is the right container for the work you want to do.
