Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist & Integration Guide
Santa Monica CA
We begin with a consultation and careful screening to understand your history, goals, and readiness. Together we choose the support that fits: focused preparation or integration sessions, ongoing therapy, or a deeper private container. Our sessions may weave together somatic work, breathwork, EMDR, sound therapy, and, when appropriate, medicine-assisted work. The pace is yours, and the work is always collaborative.
Rooted in clinical social work and the wisdom of the body, my work weaves together somatic, trauma-informed, and psychedelic-assisted approaches for the healing that lives below language.
I welcome every part of you into the room, including the parts you've learned to hide. I work from a non-pathologizing perspective, trusting that there are no bad parts and that you are the expert in your own life. Many people come to me after years of talk therapy. They understand their patterns, but something deeper still hasn't moved. Movement was my first language, and the body is still where I start. I believe this work reaches beyond the purely clinical, and I make room for its spiritual and mysterious dimensions. Whatever language or tradition feels true to you, or none at all, is welcome here. My clinical roots are in community mental health, foster care, university counseling, and dual-diagnosis treatment, and that grounding shapes how carefully I hold this work.
