There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby and invisible.

Psychedelic Therapy

Psychedelics have been used in Indigenous healing and spiritual practices for thousands of years and have entered Western psychotherapy in the last 80 years. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals that manage symptoms, psychedelics amplify the psyche—bringing emotions, patterns, and unconscious material to the surface for healing through direct experience. This process can be intense, cathartic, and deeply transformational.

Recent research and clinical trials continue to affirm the therapeutic potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Psilocybin has shown promise in treating treatment-resistant depression (Carhart-Harris et al., 2021) and existential distress in individuals facing terminal illness (Griffiths et al., 2016). MDMA-assisted therapy has demonstrated significant results in treating PTSD and Complex PTSD (Mitchell et al., 2021). Cannabis, when used intentionally within therapy, is also emerging as a powerful ally for trauma resolution and somatic healing (Ragnhildstveit et al., 2023). Additionally, ibogaine is being explored for its ability to interrupt cycles of opioid addiction and address the root causes of substance dependence (Noller et al.,2018).

I provide a warm, confidential space for exploring Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness (NOSC), supporting you through preparation, navigation, and integration—which often requires therapy over three to six months. Together, we’ll use somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), breathwork, and mindfulness to guide your healing journey.

If you’re ready to explore this transformative work with care and support, reach out to begin your path toward deeper healing and self-discovery.

Disclaimer:

This practice does not provide, condone, or promote the illegal use of psychedelic substances. However, I recognize that many people choose to explore altered states of consciousness for healing, insight, and spiritual growth.

I offer harm-reduction-informed integration and psychological support to individuals seeking guidance before or after a psychedelic experience—regardless of where or how that experience occurred. This includes support for those who have attended retreats, participated in research studies, or chosen personal journeys.

Additionally, I provide assisted therapy sessions involving ketamine or cannabis only when these substances have been legally prescribed or approved by a licensed medical provider. These sessions are structured and collaborative, with a focus on safety, intention, and therapeutic benefit.

This practice does not involve referring to underground providers, recommending substance use, or being present during the use of unregulated or illegal substances. Clients should not attend therapy sessions under the influence of any controlled substance without prior discussion and medical approval.

Psychedelic Therapies

  • Cannabis-Assisted Therapy (CAT) is a trauma-informed, embodied healing approach that intentionally integrates cannabis use within a therapeutic setting to access deeper emotional and somatic repair. Unlike recreational or medical use, this modality uses cannabis to gently disrupt habitual thought loops (via the brain’s Default Mode Network), relaxing rigid defenses and guiding awareness to sensations and emotional imprinting held in the nervous system. In a session—often supported by somatic modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, or Somatic Therapy—clients enter a state of heightened introspection and body awareness, creating space for trauma resolution, increased creativity, and the emergence of new self-insight.

    Sessions typically last a few hours and include preparation, the cannabis experience, and integration afterward. The therapeutic container is essential—supporting safety, intentional mindfulness, and meaning-making at every stage. Research and practitioner reports suggest that CAT may be particularly effective for addressing trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and shame-based patterns with a gentler, body-centered approach that helps you stay grounded while exploring your inner world- unlike many classic psychedelics . If you’re curious whether Cannabis-Assisted Therapy could support your healing process, reach out for a consultation to explore fit and potential benefits.

  • Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a powerful and evidence-supported approach that blends the use of ketamine with psychotherapy to support emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and personal transformation. Ketamine can help soften mental defenses, disrupt stuck patterns, and open access to deeper insight and connection—especially when held within a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship.

    This work is not a quick fix, but an invitation into meaningful change supported by preparation, integration, and care. If you’re curious whether this therapy may be right for you, reach out to schedule a consultation and explore whether we’re a good fit for this work together.

  • Psychedelic integration is a harm-reductive, research-informed process that supports you in making meaning of non-ordinary states of consciousness—whether your experience took place in my office, at a retreat, or in a clinical trial. Integration helps translate insight, emotion, or vision from your journey into lasting change and deeper self-understanding.

    This work draws from a holistic blend of somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, mindfulness, shamanic practices, and experiential modalities such as creative arts and Gestalt therapy. Each session is shaped by your experience and needs—offering a supportive space to explore what emerged and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

    Preparation is part of integration. I also offer preparative harm-reduction support to help you evaluate whether a psychedelic retreat or facilitator is safe and aligned. Together, we’ll review key questions to ask, red flags to watch for, and grounding practices to carry with you before, during, and after your journey.

Psychedelic Integration

Significant change requires more than just the experience—it needs care and commitment to truly unfold. Preparation is like sowing seeds, the Journey is the watering, and Integration is when the fruit grows.

Psychedelic integration means weaving the insights from your experience into everyday life. It’s about making whole the wisdom gained, deepening understanding, and supporting lasting change.

Preparation happens beforehand, including harm-reduction education and holistic support to get you ready. Integration comes after, providing a safe space to process and make meaning of your experience through somatic therapy, IFS, expressive arts, or ritual practices.

Research shows psychedelics boost cognitive flexibility and neuroplasticity—windows of opportunity to foster growth. With intention, care, and harm reduction, psychedelic therapy can reveal hidden unconscious material, release stuck emotions, and open fresh perspectives, helping old patterns gently transform.

If you’re ready to tend to your journey with support and compassion, reach out to begin your integration process and deepen your healing.
