Individual Session Private counseling finely tuned to your idea of relationship and professional success. Personal sex, intimacy, relationship and or career support. I offer consultations and mentorship support for other healthcare providers wishing to gain experience or perspective around pleasure positivity, relational therapeutics, somatics and or psychedelics.
Couples Session I work with couples around a myriad of intimacy topics from lack of intimacy, verbal communication skill building, to facilitating trauma awareness. Disconnect can emerge from desire or libido discrepancies to differing cultural backgrounds or trust issues; We can work together to help you both see what your options are around moving forward with care.
Collective - Whether you need support within a polycule, a platonic group or organization, a neutral third party can help. Many hands make light work and I would be honored to support your collaborative efforts. I draw my experiences from studying under Starhawk, Staci Haines and over a decade of direct community work and living.

"The Revolution Will Be Embodied"
TOOLS
I am always incorporating the entirety of my background experience unless there is specific work, or a goal, that requires focus from one therapeutic modality over the other. If psychedelic support is requested, we will work together to support your goals. I work will clients and other professionals around expanding our capacity for healing and holding space from a non-diagnostics perspective and with relational tools.
About Psychedelic Support Services
I offer full journey support, or 'therapeutic dose', as well as psycholytic dosing, with Ketamine and Cannabis. A psycholytic dose refers to a dose that ranges between a microdose and a full journey dose, where the participant feels the effect of the substance and also maintains connection with cognitive functioning. I am partnering with Isha Health for KAP support (Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy), medical screening and prescribing.
Psychedelic preparation and integration is a process of working intentionally with an an altered state of consciousness experience which I'll refer to sometimes as a 'journey'. Preparation and Integration are relevant regardless of the dosing of a journey. In other words, this process is helpful if the the dosing is microdose, psycholytic, or a full journey. I offer in-person services as a 'sitter' for those who are exploring psychedelic experiences. When we take time to intentionally prepare & integrate an experience, we can soften the contrast between the psychedelic spaces and day to day life. Preparation supports our intentionality in exploring these healing tools. Integration supports the likelihood of expanded health and stability after an experience. Please reach out for inquires around journey packages as a healthcare provider or recipient. I am available to travel as well with travel expenses being an additional fee.
As psychedelics are becoming more and more available to the public, you may have curiosity to explore these natural medicines. This service is appropriate if you yourself are exploring altered states of consciousness, you have a friend or family member you would like to be able to support, or if you are a wellness professional or therapist who could use consultation support for your clients. I have over a 13 years of experience with psychedelia and am a first cohort graduate of the Vital facilitators training through Psychedelics Today. I do not condone any illegal activity and during preparation calls we will talk explicitly about any risks (legal, health or medically-wise) clients may be taking and how we can minimize chances of harm. I do not sell or distribute substances to my clients or otherwise and advise any person to consult their informed medical provider for any possible health contraindications. My services are all founded in harm reduction and healing our innate capacity for love.
About Somatic® Experiencing (SE)
Nervous system regulation and dis-regulation relates to every person whether that be managing chronic stressors or healing from an acute disturbance. SE offers a wide structure for reprocessing this nervous system dis-regulation, which can also be called trauma. The SE modality of therapy allows the wisdom of our body to lead the unfolding of our self discovery and healing. Through this nurturing of innate bodily wisdom comes added resilience in relationship to your own body as well as in your relationship with others.
About the Somatica® Method
This modality is founded in positive psychology, relational psychotherapy, feminism, sexual liberation and experiential awareness. We are aiming to build upon the strengths that already exist in one's life in order to increase pleasure orientation and decrease shame. We practice energetic, verbal or physical embodiment tools around, vulnerability, consent culture, and erotic freedom. We engage in exercises where we approach any challenge or 'stuck-ness' with gentle curiosity. I am a proud member of Sacred Eros. My practice is based in efforts towards liberation for all, bodily autonomy, and a cultural movement toward embodied consent. Connected pleasure is a birthright.
*While I support folks engaging in a variety of relationship structures, I specialize in supporting historically marginalized orientations such as open relating, aka polyamory, as well as multi-cultural dynamics. I am comfortable and have extensive experience help those transitioning to or from one type of relationship structure to another.
*My practice is founded in prioritizing safety and spaciousness for historically marginalized experiences. This includes and is not limited to co-creating accountability and safety for perpetrators of harm to heal and change, those who have survived the incarcral system, and for sex workers.
“I have little doubt that as individuals, families, communities, and even nations, we have the capacity to learn how to heal and prevent much of the damage done by trauma. In so doing, we will significantly increase our ability to achieve both our individual and collective dreams.” ― Peter A. Levine, Healing Trauma: A Pioneering Program for Restoring the Wisdom of Your Body
