Therapist Info
About Me:I am a licensed psychologist serving clients virtually throughout California. Graduate training prepared me to treat adults with trauma and substance use disorders. Throughout these experiences, I witnessed with awe my clients’ drive to understand themselves and cultivate a sense of wholeness and meaning in their lives. I also gained insight into the beautiful complexity of how humans interact with consciousness-altering drugs. This insight, along with my long-term personal practices with yoga, meditation, the Enneagram, and dream analysis, led to my involvement in clinical research exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness. My primary focus is on the effects of psychedelics on the health and functioning of adult populations. I have provided therapy in clinical psilocybin trials at UC San Francisco and will soon be serving as a therapist in MDMA and psilocybin studies conducted at the Portland VA Hospital. I am enthusiastic about this research and enjoy helping to bring new knowledge about ancient medicines into Western medical communities.
Description of Services:I view health as a balance between mind, body, spirit, and environment. As such, my therapy approach is integrative and holistic. I work with clients to gain optimal wellness following challenging, disorienting, or invigorating psychedelic experiences. I appreciate and respect the use of psychedelics for inspiring transformation in oneself and one’s world. I also recognize that numerous non-psychedelic therapy modalities can lead to life-altering revelations. I, therefore, offer mindfulness-based practices and welcome creative expression, embodied self-awareness, and spiritual exploration into my work with clients. With sensitivity to the health impact of both personal and cultural forces, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for my clients to explore all facets of their identities.
