Psychedelic experiences can open us in ways that feel both awe-inspiring and disorienting. They can bring about profound insights and a sense of connection, while also leaving us unsettled or unsure of how to move forward. In a matter of hours, our usual framework for making sense of the world—our schema, or the mental map we use to interpret experiences—can shift dramatically.

​

Such moments can be life-changing, both beautifully expansive and deeply challenging. Having support before and after these experiences can help ensure they are not only safer, but also more deeply meaningful.

​

Preparation work offers a space to get clear on your intentions, cultivate practices that steady the mind and body, and set up the conditions (“set and setting”) that foster growth and reduce risk. Together we explore what feels supportive, what fears or expectations may arise, and how to enter the experience with curiosity and care.

​

Integration work helps make sense of what unfolded during the psychedelic journey. This might include exploring themes of loss, joy, or transformation; noticing what has shifted in relationships or daily life; and finding grounding practices to carry insights into lasting change. Integration is the art of weaving what was experienced into a new sense of self, so that growth is not fleeting, but becomes part of who you are becoming.

This work is available whether you are:

• preparing for or reflecting on personal or ceremonial use,

• engaging in community or group settings, or

• working with a provider in psychedelic-assisted therapy (such as ketamine or psilocybin).

Integration work often touches on themes of grief and life transitions. You can also visit my services page to learn about other kinds of support I provide.

I offer care that is inclusive and affirming for queer and 2SLGBTQIA communities, as well as for people in polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. This work is available to individuals only, and I meet with clients through secure telehealth across Oregon. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, meeting you where you are as you navigate the path between insight and integration.
