Registered Psychotherapist Qulifying

Within the context of nature based psychotherapy we often start our sessions with a grounding to help the nervous system get to a place where it feels safe to look at things. From there you share. With client led therapy I hold compassionate, non-judgmental space for you. Often we will involve the subconscious with various modalities like IFS to support deeper understanding. As an IFS Therapist, Trained Psychedelic Therapist, Feminist and Eco Therapist our sessions are always client led unless you would like resources to learn from in between sessions. As an x-teacher I am good at sharing resources. I also welcome All clients, in All bodies, and from All backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA2S+, Global Majority, Women & Disabled affirming.
5 years ago I had a health crisis that left me looking for pain relief that was impossible to find until psychedelics and plant medicine came into my life. Fast forward to current day and I am much better (as an invisibly disabled therapist) and employ what I learned for myself with clients seeking psychedelic assisted therapy and psychedelic education. I had previously trained in folk herbalism / plant spirit medicine and came through my health crisis trained in psychedelic assisted therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems which works on subconscious deprogramming) and nature therapy.
*Disclaimer: As a member of the CPA (Canadian Psychedelic Association) I am here to support you at any time in your psychedelic harm reduction plan and integration needs with psychotherapy. Currently in Canada many psychedelics are illegal to the majority of the population and I can not promote/source or encourage illegal activities. A well, I can not promote / source or encourage you with any medical advice such as dose amount or medicine/drug as it is out of the scope of practice for psychotherapists. If you do decide to engage in non-licensed medicine use please be careful: get your drugs tested, ask for help or guidance and stay safe. There has been noted fentanyl in many substances and physical/mental abuse in psychedelic and even spiritual psychedelic settings.
