Psychotherapy with me is a deep exploration into who you were, who you are, and who you are meant to become.
Think of your mind as a house:
Your conscious mind is the living room, where you entertain guests and spend most of your time. It’s the part you’re most aware of.
Your unconscious mind is the basement, where you’ve stashed painful experiences, unwanted impulses, and difficult emotions.
Therapy sessions are us heading down the basement stairs together, with a flashlight, bringing hidden thoughts and memories into your conscious awareness.
Once you gain awareness of what’s hidden in the basement, you can examine old memories, see what insights surface, declutter beliefs that no longer serve you, and remodel the space to fit who you are now.
Individual psychotherapy is personalized to where you are and your capacity for deep, exploratory work. Sessions are weekly or biweekly, depending on your needs and availability, and are currently virtual.
I do not currently provide psychedelic-assisted therapy.
I offer a supportive space for psychedelic integration: the process of making sense of a psychedelic experience (clinical or recreational) after it has happened.
Psychedelic experiences can be intense, beautiful, confusing, and at times, scary. Psychedelic integration can include:
Making sense of insights: Psychedelics often bring up vivid imagery, buried memories, or intense emotions. I can help you explore what they mean for you.
Grounding Emotionally: If your experience was difficult or traumatic (a challenging or “bad trip”), I can help you safely process the fear safely, so you aren’t left feeling destabilized or stuck in difficult emotions.
Turning insights into action: Sometimes a psychedelic experience brings profound realizations about what needs to change. I’ll help you build a realistic plan with concrete daily habits to carry those changes forward.
