If you’re considering exploring psychedelics, I offer preparation sessions to help you make informed, thoughtful choices. With so many substances—like psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ayahuasca, DMT, and more—widely available on the underground market, it can be hard to know what’s right for you. Some people even combine medicines, often without fully understanding the risks and interactions, which can lead to unnecessary harm. In a preparation session, we’ll look at your intentions, your health, what you’re hoping to gain.  We’ll discuss the different medicines, their effects, and the potential pitfalls to watch out for. This is about education, discernment, and harm reduction, so you can approach your experience as safely and consciously as possible with the support of a trained guide. Please note: I do not provide or supply any substances, and psychedelics may be illegal where you live. My role is to help you navigate this world more wisely, because despite their illegality, these medicines are increasingly popular and available—and your wellbeing matters.

In our preparation and integration work, I draw on a few powerful, proven tools to help you feel resourced, clear, and grounded before and after a psychedelic session. ISBR (Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction, also known as The Work of Byron Katie) is a radical yet simple way to question and unravel any stressful thoughts you may be carrying, so they don’t cloud your experience. IFS (Internal Family Systems, or parts work) helps you gently meet and heal inner conflicts and protective patterns, so all parts of you feel seen and safe. And as a long-time yoga teacher and practitioner, I bring somatic awareness and grounded presence into our work, helping you stay connected to your body and its inner wisdom. Together, these approaches help create the clarity, openness, and integration you need to make the most of your journey. 

I bring over 30 years of experience in the healing arts—as a psychotherapist, coach, yoga teacher, art therapist, and spiritual guide. My approach is grounded, integrative, and deeply respectful of each person's unique path.

Certified in Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (commonly known as The Work of Byron Katie) and trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a presence that helps you slow down, turn inward, and explore with curiosity. As a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist, I support those engaging with altered states through safe, ethical preparation and integration practices. I do not provide medicines, but I help you navigate these experiences with insight and care.

As a longtime teacher of Kaiut Yoga, I also invite people into the wisdom of the body—supporting healing not only through the mind but also through the breath, and the nervous system.

Clients often say they feel truly held by this work—held in compassion while also gently challenged to go deeper. I don’t offer fixes. I offer companionship on the journey inward—toward clarity, freedom, and the truth of who you really are.

Psychedelics can open doors in the mind—doors to unprocessed memories, unconscious beliefs, deep-seated fears, and also to awe, love, and profound clarity. 

These powerful medicines have the capacity to unburden the mind, soften protective layers, and create new neural pathways—offering a chance to relate to your life, your past, and your identity in an entirely new way.

But opening those doors is just the beginning. They are not an answer, simply a doorway into where you might start to find the answers. 

The altered state of a psychedelic journey often lowers or bypasses the mind’s usual defenses—what in IFS we call “protectors.” These parts of us formed long ago to shield us from pain or rejection. When those defenses fall away during a journey, we may come into contact with very vulnerable parts—exiled beliefs or memories we didn’t even realize we were carrying. That’s why preparation and integration are essential. 

Without thoughtful, compassionate work before and after your experience,  these insights can remain hidden,  ungrounded or even surface in ways that are destabilizing.

That’s where I come in.
