My approach to therapy is largely focused on modern forms of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, particularly Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT promotes mindful changes in behavior that are directed by the patient’s personal values. Keeping up to date with research is a priority in my practice and I strive to offer the most effective and evidence based forms of treatments, while being mindful that all patients are unique and come to treatment with differing needs. I am passionate about the emerging potential of psychedelics as a stand alone treatment option or as a supplement to more traditional forms of therapy. I approach work with my patients from a compassionate, non-judgmental stance, while also guiding them towards a meaningful life, despite life’s difficulties. Although the majority of patient’s that I see for Psychedelic Integration have OCD, Anxiety, or a related mental health issue, I also see patients who do not have a diagnosis and are seeking to integrate their psychedelic journey in order to connect the dots, find meaning, and incorporate this knowledge into their daily lives.
