About Me

Does life feel foggy, turbulent, or hard to orient to at times? Have you ever felt like a stranger in the world, or like you’re moving through life slightly out of sync, uncertain how to land fully in your body or your place here? You might be newly curious about deeper inner work, actively integrating meaningful experiences, or living with insights that continue to unfold over time. I come to this work with a deep respect for altered states of consciousness and the courage it takes to turn meaningful experiences into lived change.

Life can feel like walking in the dark, through grief, longing, love, rupture, awakening, and the quiet thresholds of becoming. I meet people wherever they find themselves in that process: whether newly called and curious about medicine work, in the midst of integration, or seasoned practitioners living with experiences that continue to unfold over time. Wherever you are, I bring my candle to meet you there, and we walk together from that place. My approach to psychedelic integration is grounded, relational, and slow enough to listen. Many people arrive feeling tender, cracked open, disoriented, or quietly changed in ways that don’t yet have language. You do not need clarity when we begin, only a willingness to stay curious and remain in relationship with what emerged.

With over 18 years of experience supporting people in psychedelic spaces, my work is informed by depth psychology, Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives, somatic and nervous-system–based approaches, contemplative and transpersonal traditions, and trauma-informed care. I am especially skilled in working with grief and loss, sexuality, identity, and the initiations and transformations that reshape a life.

In our work together, we may explore how your experiences are metabolized through the body, relationships, symbols, dreams, creativity, values, and choice, so they do not remain isolated moments, but become integrated sources of meaning and movement. My role is to walk alongside you with steadiness, care, and reverence as what you encountered finds its place in your life.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy time with my dog Hank, herbalism, spending time in nature, making art, moving my body and practicing 5rhythms dance, live music, and cooking and laughing with loved ones.
