Some journeys don't end when you come back.
A psychedelic or mystical experience can open something: a door, a question, a way of seeing that doesn't fit neatly back into the life you had before it. What emerges may feel profoundly real, but insight alone doesn't rebuild a story. That happens afterward, slowly, in the return to ordinary time.
I work with people preparing for and returning from these experiences. Beforehand, we might explore hopes and fears, intentions, and set and setting. Afterward, we make sense of what surfaced (what was profound, confusing, or difficult to put into words) and begin weaving it into the life you're living now.
I have advanced clinical training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and psilocybin therapy through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, along with MDMA therapy training through the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). I'm also pursuing a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, where my research explores non-ordinary states of consciousness and how profound experiences continue to shape us over time. I began this work because I wanted to better support people exploring psychedelics, to be present with them, before and after, as their understanding of themselves continues to unfold.
I currently provide preparation and integration rather than psychedelic sessions themselves. I do not provide psychedelic substances or accompany clients during their use outside of legally authorized care.
There's no timeline for integration, and no single way it should look. What matters is that the story keeps moving, and that you're not making sense of it alone.
