Psychedelic | Holistic | Human-centered Psychotherapy
My Approach
Holistic, Pragmatic, & Person-Centered
You can expect:
- To gain greater understanding of why you do what you
- To gain greater awareness of the impact your past has your present
- To identify your values and what motivates you
- To learn coping skills to bring your mind into the present moment
- To consider possible alternative choices to your decisions
- A 'Harm Reduction' approach based in social and clinical science
- Psychotherapy sessions that are less directive, more self-guided
- Sessions every week or two (depending on availability)
- Expert consultation about human psychology and behavior science and health facts
- Sliding scale pricing (depending on availability)
What you won't get:
- Insurance reimbursement (I've asked - they just won't reimburse you)
- Direct advice
- Trauma treatment
- Psychological testing services
- Emergency/crisis stabilization (not recommended for virtual)
- Somatic-focused therapy
- Homework
- Legal representation
- An Emotional Support Animal letter
- An official diagnosis, unless you specifically request it
Perspective, Awareness, & Understanding
My approach to therapy emphasizes a growth of self-awareness, perspective shifting, and understanding -- the what's, why's, and how's of whats going on and how its impacting your life. I may see something you don't. It's my job to notice it and bring it to your attention.
And the ball is always in your court -- you choose when you act, when you make a move, when to pull back.
Psychedelic Health
Prepare
Preparation for any journey is important. Clinical studies have already (and are still revealing) the particular benefits to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Across the board, these studies emphasize the need for intentional preparation.

Integrate
Integration is a phase after the primary psychedelic psychotherapy experience that usually involves a synthesizing or attempt to understand and actualize any shifts in perspective, felt experience, or consciousness, into one's awakened life.
Read about INTEGRATION SUPPORT vs. INTEGRATION THERAPY, and decide which is for you before hiring a psychotherapist.
Codependency
From Codependent to Interdependent
The opposite of codependency isn't independence -- its INTERDEPENDENCE -- the capacity to lean on others and ask for help when you need it, and to engage with others in a way that doesn't feel transactional or confusing. As social creatures, we're wired to connect -- but this can complicate our lives if we aren't attuned to our own nervous system signals, emotional needs, and boundaries. Psychotherapy can help you separate your needs from others.
