A season for going deeper

Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

Rooted in the Body. Guided by Spirit. Grounded in Clinical Practice.

There comes a point when insight alone is not enough. You understand your patterns. You have language for your wounds. You have done meaningful work — and yet your nervous system still braces, your body still holds, and something inside you knows there is deeper territory.

Psychedelic means mind-manifesting — the revealing of what has been hidden, defended, or fragmented. These states are not foreign to you. They are endogenous. Breath can open them. Meditation can open them. Trauma can open them. Cannabis can open them. So can other medicines.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and psychedelic therapist. My work integrates somatic psychotherapy, nervous system science, the creative process, and spiritually attuned expanded-state work within a steady, ethical clinical container.

We build the foundation first.
We open with compassion.
We integrate thoroughly.

a season of commitment

Psychedelic work is not a one and done event.

Rather, it’s a focal point - a defined period of commitment in which you strengthen your capacity to remain present with what emerges — in your body, in your history, in your relationships, and in your spiritual life.

In our work together, we:

  • Stabilize and regulate the nervous system

  • Increase somatic awareness

  • Clarify intention

  • Prepare for expanded states responsibly

  • Integrate insight into daily life

This may include:

  • Somatic psychotherapy

  • Trauma repair and attachment work

  • Breathwork and meditative practice

  • Art therapy and symbolic processing

  • Cannabis-assisted psychotherapy

  • Psychedelic preparation and integration

The medicine does not do the healing for you.
The healing occurs through your capacity to stay with what arises.

That capacity is cultivated over time.

At its core, this work is about learning how to inhabit your own life differently, more fully— not through turning your results over to the medicine, but through honoring and witnessing yourself with deep, compassionate, and intentional care.

The Body as Portal

Every psychedelic experience moves through the nervous system.

Without somatic grounding, expanded states can overwhelm or fragment. With a regulated body and a steady therapeutic relationship, those same states become coherent, meaningful, and transformative.

We work directly with sensation, breath, muscle tone, impulse, and relational patterns so that when deeper material surfaces, you are not flooded — you are resourced.

This is not reckless exploration.
It is disciplined depth work.

You develop:

  • Greater emotional range without dysregulation

  • Stronger boundaries

  • Increased spiritual clarity

  • Durable trauma resolution

  • Embodied self-trust

Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

Cannabis Within a Psychedelic Framework

Cannabis is a psychedelic medicine.

Culturally, it has been minimized, recreationalized, or misunderstood. In a therapeutic context, it can open profound somatic memory, soften protective defenses, deepen emotional access, and heighten spiritual awareness — often with a gentleness that allows clients to remain relational and embodied.

Because it is legally accessible and widely available, it offers a uniquely practical and powerful pathway into psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

In this practice, cannabis sessions are:

  • Intentional

  • Structured

  • Embedded within ongoing therapy

  • Supported by preparation and integration

They are not isolated experiences.
They are woven into a coherent therapeutic arc.

Original abstract art by artist Zoe Johnson titled “Consciousness Is Collective” — expressive art therapy and integrative psychotherapy.

Creativity is psychedelic. So is breath. So is the body.

All are mind-manifesting — each revealing and linking the deeper layers of the psyche.

Expanded states, creative process, and conscious breathwork arise from the same well. Each can soften the grip of the analytical mind and allow what has been hidden, defended, or unformed to come forward as image, sensation, memory, or insight.

The word spirit shares its roots with breath — spiritus, inspirare — to breathe in, to be infused with life. To be inspired is to be breathed into. Across traditions, breath and soul have never been separate.

In this work, breath is not a technique layered on top. It is a doorway. Creative expression is not decorative. It is integrative. Spiritual experience is not ornamental. It is central to how many people metabolize meaning, trauma, and transformation.

Art therapy, symbolic exploration, somatic awareness, and guided breath practices help translate expanded experiences into embodied understanding. They give form to what the psyche reveals and allow insight to move from concept into lived integration.

Body, breath, psyche, creative expression, spirit —
not separate disciplines,
but one living current
moving through you,
waiting to be met.
