My Background and Approach

I have been studying psychedelics professionally for around 20 years, including earning a PhD in clinical psychology investigating atypical psychedelics. At Yale School of Medicine I learned about and contributed to the latest neuroscientific research into psychedelic science. I’m also incredibly interested in spirituality, existential meaning, and nature. My approach is a healthy mix of modern scientific insight, inspired by Indigenous wisdom and practices, and the gritty reality of living in a modern capitalist society. I do not provide psychedelics or encourage you to break any laws.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to help my clients connect with their inner healing intelligence. I believe that each of us seeks wholeness and healing and knows how to get there. The best that I can do is provide a supportive environment and remove obstacles so that my clients can heal themselves. Set and setting are important factors for understanding any psychedelic experience. The setting in which I work with my clients, and in which they use psychedelics, is capitalism. That, and many other aspects of society, is inherently imbalanced and unjust. I work with my clients at primarily an individual level, but I recognize that often larger social and institutional factors are at play in determining mental health and quality of life.
