About My Clients

I work with adults who are curious about or actively engaged in psychedelic-assisted healing. My clients come to me at different stages: some are preparing for their first ketamine session, others are integrating profound psilocybin experiences, and many are simply trying to understand what a powerful journey meant for their lives. You don't need to have everything figured out — that's what we'll do together.

My Background and Approach

'm trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through Numinous and have worked on COMPASS Pathways clinical trials and other psychedelic research studies at Sunstone Therapies. This clinical research background gives me a grounded, evidence-informed perspective on how these medicines work — and, just as importantly, what supports lasting change afterward. My approach combines preparation, presence, and integration. Before a journey, we'll clarify your intentions and build skills for navigating whatever arises. After, we'll work together to translate insights into real change in your daily life. I draw on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and strengths-based practices to help you stay connected to what you've learned.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe psychedelics are a powerful tool — one of many — that can help people unlearn old patterns and discover new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. But the experience itself is just the beginning. Without intentional integration, even the most profound journey can fade into a beautiful memory rather than a catalyst for real change. My role is to help you bridge the gap between insight and transformation, so that what you discover doesn't stay in the journey — it becomes part of how you live.
