    Description of Services:

    Grounded in science-based treatments and mindfulness, my holistic approach involves exploring, untangling and reworking thinking patterns, developing and nurturing mind-body connection and developing awareness and connection to the nervous system while using techniques like mindfulness, meditation and breathwork, helping clients build resilience and find meaning and a purpose in their life. I strive to create an open space to discuss all identities - such as but not limited to - race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, sexual practices, disability, size, citizenship, religion and age.

  • My Process

    Overview of Experience:

    I offer preparation and Integration Services. Preparation sessions occur prior to a planned psychedelic experience and are focused on education, information and intention setting. This is 2-3 sessions prior to an experience. Integration occurs after the psychedelic experience and will be focused on understanding or making meaning of the experience. This process can include identifying particular pieces of insight to bring into day to day living. Goals are developed to allow specific life changes related to the information learned from the psychedelic experience. For folks engaged in ketamine, sessions are 1-2 times a week for the duration of treatment and then 2-3 sessions afterward.

    Psychedelic Integration Psychotherapy closely resembles traditional “talk therapy” in that sessions are weekly and the topic of one’s use of psychedelics is an active element of the discussion. I have helped clients who have had a wide range of use of psychedelics including: Micro-dosing, Macro-dosing, intentional therapeutic use to festival use of psychedelics and ketamine preparation and integration. I also work with folks whom Ayahuasca ceremony is a regular part of their spiritual practice.

    Intake Process:

    After a 20 minute consultation call, we will consider next steps. Sessions are via televideo and focused on preparation and integration or weekly individual therapy.
