Accepting new clients: I focus primarily in three different areas; Helping people recover from Addiction/Alcoholism, Couples Counseling and Psychedelic Integration. Addiction: Recovery from addiction is not straight forward. Different people need different solutions. I believe in all pathways to recovery, and I have lived experience. I can offer you a trusting, healing, judgment free space where you can be completely honest. Together we can figure out how you can best heal from this devastating affliction.

Couples work: During my couples sessions the couples are facing each other, and most of the interaction occurs between them. I will gently facilitate from the outside and point out where there might be a communication breakdown or blind spot. Most of this is done intuitively. I also utilized Gottman method of repair. I have seen amazing healing through this.

Psychedelics give one a great PREVIEW of what it is like when the ego steps aside, a much more outward-beautiful experience occurs. However, the true work is to access this outward selfless state on one’s own through therapeutic/spiritual methods. All of the true psychedelic work is done through integration after the psychedelic experience.

In my practice, I employ contemplative psychotherapy as the primary modality. This involves building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and intuitively guiding them towards healing. I view this relationship as a partnership, instead of a top-down approach. Additionally, I utilize other common modalities such as ACT Parts Work and CBT within this overarching framework.
