I work with people interested in exploring altered states of consciousness to facilitate healing.
What I can help you with:
My clients experience a broad array of challenges, including anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. Many are interested in alternative treatment modalities including psychedelics. I help people prepare for and integrate after psychedelic use; I also work with people interested in ketamine assisted psychotherapy.
How I work:
I like to work with clients to help them identify early childhood experiences that shape their world. This work is deep and relational, and requires a strong level of trust. In order to facilitate that, I meet with clients weekly. If you would like to speak about working together, please contact me.
What you'll likely experience working with me:
Adeptness at creating a safe environment and building trust with people who are apprehensive about the therapeutic process. Patience and empathy. I don’t shy away from offering feedback and respectful challenges. I work experientially, so I'm often asking about your experience in the present moment. Respect for your autonomy, a careful navigation of boundaries and an active, ongoing process of consent.
My training background:
I am fortunate to have trained with some of the most esteemed and experienced clinicians in the psychedelic field. Postgraduate trainings include Emotion Focused Therapy, Relational Psychotherapy, Mindfulness for Clinicians, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Somatic Intervention, Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Hunter College.
My experience:
I have worked in the psychedelic space since 2019, first as a psychedelic harm reduction and integration clinician, then incorporating ketamine starting in 2021. I am a trainer with Fluence and Journey Clinical, companies that provide psychedelic training to licensed clinicians. In addition, I serve on the Journey council of clinicians.
In my early career I worked with unemployed adults, as well as adolescents and adults involved in the criminal justice system. As a side project, I taught yoga and meditation at Riker’s Island to sentenced inmates.
In 2020 I founded a community of parents who use psychedelics called Plant Parenthood.
I opened my private practice in 2015.
