Therapeutic Coaching & Counseling
For Trauma, Religious Abuse &
Psychedelic Journeys

Recent years have brought compelling discoveries: plant medicine holds incredible promise for healing trauma, but the journey is just as vital as the medicine itself. The key to unlocking its potential lies in the right support—experienced, grounded, informed, and deeply attuned to your needs. I offer preparation and integration counseling, so you can fully absorb the insights from your experience. For those carrying the weight of past trauma or the scars of religious abuse—including the pain of leaving a cult—I provide therapeutic coaching to help you reclaim your path forward, guided and supported every step of the way.

I’m here to genuinely understand what happened to you. With over 25 years as a trauma-informed therapist, I’ll help you cut through the noise, uncover your intentions, and navigate the depths of your journey. Our work together will be more than support—it will be a catalyst for change, a space where true transformation can unfold. Through a blend of psycho-education and expressive techniques, we’ll find what resonates most for you: perhaps the layered insights of SoulCollage®, the clarity of Cognitive Re-framing, the grounding of Somatic Awareness, the healing of Parts Work, or the connection built through Interpersonal Skills. Every approach I offer, I’ve explored in my own healing, and I’m here, fully committed, to guide you as you find yours.

*I use a harm reduction approach. I do not supply substances but recognize that people who are seeking healing with currently illegal substances, need support, education and guidance.

Recent research reveals that psychedelic plant medicines can be remarkably effective in helping people break free from the grips of depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. But this research is clear: the journey to healing with these powerful tools requires skilled, knowledgeable support. That’s where I come in. I work with ketamine and other plant medicines, providing a safe, informed space for these experiences to unfold, guiding you toward profound transformation and healing.

I bring a holistic perspective that rejects the confines of diagnostics and labels, and leads to a place where our journey is anchored in genuine compassion. Here, we forge a powerful alliance, blending education and emotional support to light your way forward. Traumatic experiences don’t have to cast long shadows over your life; they don’t have to imprison you. With the right support, you can break free from those chains, moving boldly toward a life you truly desire—one that resonates with your deepest authenticity and innate resilience. Together, we’ll ignite a transformation that feels not just possible, but profoundly alive.

Religious Abuse Syndrome and cult membership can cast a long shadow, leaving scars that often linger for a lifetime. Ex-members frequently grapple with two profound traumas: the painful experiences of being enmeshed in the group and the heart-wrenching process of leaving it behind. I intimately understand the complexities of these circumstances and provide informed, compassionate support tailored to your unique journey. Additionally, I extend my support to family members and friends who are wrestling with the anguish of watching a loved one become entangled in a group. Together, we can navigate these turbulent waters, fostering healing and understanding in a safe space where your voice is heard and your experiences validated.

The psychedelic realm is bursting forth like a wildflower meadow, beckoning countless souls seeking to heal from the aftershocks of trauma. Many who wish to offer their support are unarmed, lacking the formal education and real-world experience vital for navigating such profound emotional depths. For guides and sitters, embracing trauma-informed thinking isn’t just beneficial—it’s absolutely essential. It requires a deep understanding of the science behind the trauma-informed movement and the intricate dynamics that trauma survivors carry into these sacred spaces. Without this foundation, even the most well-meaning helpers risk leaving those in need adrift, vulnerable to being overwhelmed by their own pain. In this transformative journey, informed and compassionate guidance becomes the lifeline that empowers healing, ensuring that each experience serves as a stepping stone toward liberation, rather than a source of additional suffering.

As I walked alongside my clients on their journeys to recovery and the lives they’ve always dreamed of, it became clear to me that much of my work embodies a form of therapeutic “coaching.” It’s not just coaching; it’s a deeply personal experience rooted in the rich tapestry of each individual’s story. Together, we focus on recovery—often a beautiful process of “discovery”—and the exhilarating prospect of moving forward into the future. Instead, they require a compassionate guide to help them uncover their strengths, reclaim their narratives, and step boldly into the lives they envision for themselves.
