Psychedelic Integration
“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." - Joseph Campbell
Professional Support for Consciousness Exploration
For clients age 18 and older
As a licensed psychologist, I provide professional support for preparing for and integrating psychedelic experiences. I offer ethical, research-informed guidance while maintaining strict professional boundaries.
What I Can and Cannot Do
I do not provide, suggest, or help you get illegal substances. My role is to offer professional support for staying safe, setting good intentions, and making sense of experiences that happen outside our therapy sessions.
I follow strict ethical and legal guidelines while providing compassionate, knowledgeable support for your consciousness exploration journey.
The Art of Integration: Understanding Takes Time
One of the most important concepts I teach is that humans naturally want to understand things right away. After a psychedelic experience, you might feel pressure to figure out what it all means immediately. But trying to force an understanding too quickly can actually get in the way of real insight.
Many people find that the meaning of their experience naturally unfolds in their life if they can be patient and curious. It's like planting a seed - you don't dig it up every day to see if it's growing. You water it, give it sunlight, and trust that growth will happen in its own time.
Integration means creating space for this natural unfolding. Instead of rushing to figure everything out, you learn to stay open and curious about what your experience might be showing you over time. This gentle approach often leads to deeper, more lasting insights than trying to force immediate understanding.

Talk through any fears that might get in the way
Staying Safe
Safety comes first with any psychedelic experience. I teach you about:
How your mindset and environment affect your experience
What risks to watch out for
Why it's important to work with experienced, trustworthy guides
How to prepare mentally and emotionally for difficult parts
How spiritual and psychological healing work together

Making Sense of What Happened
After a psychedelic experience, you need time and support to understand what it meant. My approach honors both the amazing nature of these experiences and the need for practical, grounded application.
Integration work includes:
Creating a safe space to talk about whatever happened
Helping you tell the difference between helpful insights and temporary ideas
Developing practical ways to make positive changes in daily life
Working through any confusing or challenging parts of the experience
Long-term Support
Real integration happens over time, not in one session. I provide ongoing support as you:
Navigate the slow unfolding of insights and what they mean
Integrate new perspectives with your existing beliefs and relationships
Keep and deepen the positive changes that started with your experience
Address any psychological material that may have been stirred up
Blending Spiritual and Scientific Understanding
My unique background lets me honor both the amazing spiritual aspects of psychedelic experiences and the need for psychological grounding. Many people have profound spiritual insights during these experiences - moments of feeling connected to everything, unconditional love, or oneness that can change their lives.
I help you understand these experiences in both spiritual and psychological ways, supporting you to:
Integrate spiritual insights with practical daily living
Keep spiritual connection without losing psychological balance
Develop a personal practice that supports ongoing growth
Navigate the sometimes challenging process of living with expanded awareness in regular life
What Makes My Approach Different
I've personally walked the path of integrating spiritual and scientific approaches to healing. This gives me a real understanding of this work. I don't just teach these concepts - I live them. My own journey has taught me that the deepest healing happens when we honor both the mystical parts of consciousness and the practical needs of psychological well-being.
My Ethical Promise
I am committed to:
Keeping clear professional boundaries and ethical standards
Giving honest, research-based information about risks and benefits
Supporting your ability to make your own decisions
Working with other members of your care team when appropriate
Staying current with new research and legal developments in this field
My goal is to be a skilled guide and compassionate presence as you explore consciousness and integration. Whether you're preparing for your first experience or seeking support in integrating multiple journeys, I'm here to help you create lasting positive change while staying psychologically stable and spiritually authentic.
