Journey Inward

Healing Through Expanded Consciousness

Psychedelic-assisted therapy represents a profound shift in mental health treatment—one that honors both the science of neuroplasticity and the deep wisdom held within your own psyche. These medicines, used ceremonially for ages and now validated through rigorous research, can open pathways to healing that traditional therapy alone may not reach.

Each journey is carefully held within a therapeutic container that includes thorough preparation, supported sessions, and integration work that helps you weave insights into lasting change. We work slow and primarily somatically, attending to the wisdom of your experience.

This work invites you to meet what arises and to trust in your innate capacity to heal. I walk alongside you with deep respect for your process and unwavering belief in your resilience.

  • Ketamine creates what many describe as a gentle dissociation—a stepping back from entrenched thought patterns that allows you to observe your inner landscape with fresh perspective. This temporary shift can interrupt rumination, ease the harsh voice of the inner critic, and create space for self-compassion.

    The somatic component is essential here. Ketamine works not just on your brain chemistry but on your embodied experience of safety and connection.

  • Psilocybin, the active compound in certain mushrooms, has shown remarkable promise in clinical trials for treatment-resistant depression, end-of-life anxiety, and persistent trauma. Research suggests it works by temporarily disrupting rigid neural patterns, allowing new connections to form—what neuroscientists call "increased neuroplasticity."

    The medicine often dissolves the walls we've built between parts of ourselves. Many clients describe experiences of profound interconnection, self-compassion, or access to grief that's been locked away. The journey can be challenging, but within that challenge lies the possibility of genuine transformation.

  • MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is emerging as one of the most effective treatments for PTSD and complex trauma. Clinical trials have shown unprecedented success rates, with many participants experiencing significant symptom reduction after just three assisted sessions.

    The medicine works by temporarily reducing activity in the amygdala—the brain's fear center—while increasing feelings of safety, self-compassion, and connection. This neurochemical shift creates what therapists call a "window of tolerance": the ability to touch traumatic material without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.

Together

My role in your psychedelic journey is to help you prepare for the experience and, perhaps most importantly, to support you in integrating what emerges—transforming profound moments into lasting change.

I completed my certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute's year-long program, where I trained in the specific skills needed to hold this deeply transformative work.

But my approach is rooted first and foremost in somatics—the understanding that healing happens not just through insight, but through the body's own capacity to release, reorganize, and remember safety.

Preparation

Before any medicine journey, we work together to build a foundation. This means exploring your intentions, addressing any fears or concerns, and helping your nervous system cultivate the safety needed to open. We practice being with difficult sensations and emotions, strengthen your ability to stay present with what arises, and develop resources you can return to during challenging moments. This preparation isn't just logistical—it's an essential part of creating the conditions for deep healing.

Integration

The journey itself may last hours, but integration is where those hours become a life. In our sessions following your medicine experience, we work somatically to help your body metabolize what came through. We track sensations, follow impulses toward movement or expression, and carefully help you make meaning of what you encountered: maybe grief finally felt, connection restored, or parts of yourself long abandoned.

Schedule a call

Integration isn't about analyzing the experience from a distance. It's about bringing the medicine's gifts into your cells, your relationships, your daily choices.

It's about learning to live from the truths that were revealed when your defenses softened.

This is tender, sacred, enlivening work. I consider it an honor to walk alongside you.

Is This Work Right For You?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy isn't for everyone, and that's okay. This work requires medical screening, psychological readiness, and commitment to the full process (not just the medicine sessions themselves).

If you're curious about whether this approach might serve you, please reach out. I offer consultations to discuss your history, answer questions, and explore together what path might best support your goals.
