    About Me:

    I'm a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator (DORA, Colorado) and Somatic & Psychedelic Guide with direct clinical experience supporting hundreds of clients through psilocybin and ketamine assisted psychotherapy both in-person and via telehealth within a licensed medical model.

    At the heart of everything I do is a simple but profound belief — that no one is broken. I work somatically and psychedelic-assisted, gently meeting the body where it holds what the mind has long protected. Within the expanded states these medicines open, something remarkable becomes possible. What has been stored in the body for years can finally surface, be witnessed with compassion, and begin to release. I show up to every session in service of one truth: that wholeness is not something to be found, but remembered.

    I've trained under some of the most respected voices in the field — including Paul Austin (Psychedelic Coaching Institute), Dr. Marie Mbouni, MD, and Dr. Gabor Maté (Compassionate Inquiry) — and hold additional certifications in breathwork, somatic integration, harm reduction, and mental health first aid.

    I work with individuals and groups across one-on-one sessions, retreat settings, and integration support. I'm currently pursuing my BSN on the PMHNP track — drawn toward the rare intersection of psychiatric mental health and psychedelic medicine, where I believe the deepest healing work will unfold.

    I'm based in Orange County, California and work with clients both locally and remotely.

    Description of Services:

    I offer somatic and psychedelic-assisted support across the full arc of the healing journey, available both in-person and virtually. My services include:

    Psilocybin Facilitation — one-on-one and group sessions including preparation, ceremonial support, and integration.

    Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Support (KAP) — session support for clients working within a licensed medical model, both in-person and virtually.

    Psychedelic Integration — individual and group integration sessions to help ground insights, process experiences, and translate them into lasting change.

    Compassionate Inquiry — a somatic and relational approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, used to gently explore the root causes of trauma, stress, and emotional patterns held in the body.

    Breathwork & Guided Meditation — practices I weave into our work together to help you drop in, settle the nervous system, and create the inner conditions for healing to unfold naturally.

    I work with individuals and groups across all backgrounds. My practice is trauma-informed, harm reduction centered, and grounded in deep respect for the sacred nature of this work.

  • My Process

    Intake Process:

    Discovery call — a conversation to explore your intentions, share about my approach, and determine whether we are a good fit for each other.

    Completion of an intake form covering your personal background, medical history, and emotional wellbeing — everything I need to show up fully prepared for you.

    Medical history review, where applicable.

    Proposal outlining recommended scope of work, session structure, and investment.
    What I ask of every client is a genuine readiness to meet themselves honestly, a willingness to be open and vulnerable, and a commitment to the integration process beyond the experience itself.

    Overview of Protocol:

    Every journey begins well before the medicine is introduced. In our preparation sessions we explore your intentions, personal history, nervous system patterns, and any emotional material that wants to be tended to before we enter the expanded state. Preparation looks different for everyone and we move at a pace that feels right for you.
    During the experience I show up fully, rooted and present, as you move through whatever wants to arise. I stay attuned to the body, following its wisdom, supporting what surfaces with compassion, and weaving in breathwork, guided meditation, and grounding when the experience invites it.
    Integration is where the real transformation takes root. In the sessions that follow we make room for what emerged, weave insights into daily life, and tend to anything that continues to unfold. Integration is an ongoing practice and I walk alongside you for as long as it serves.
