I provide both Psychedelic assisted therapy and Integration sessions to individual clients as well as group trainings to therapists worldwide wanting to learn the psychedelic therapy model. I have mastery level certification through the Psychedelic Somatic Institute (psychedelicsomatic.org) and am on the Faculty there.
My approach is based on the idea that human relational wounding requires human relational healing. We weren’t able to digest our trauma from way back when because we were alone, simply without that capacity to do so on our own. Therefore, the trauma (fear, sadness, anger, etc) stay stuck in the body and causes symptoms. And because trauma is held in the body, it must be healed in the body. Compared to most talk therapies, psychedelic assisted therapy is uniquely effective in healing trauma that has early origins, namely preverbal trauma. This is trauma for which we don’t have words, but yet which haunts us in our day to day lives. The psychedelic substance has the ability to bring that early trauma to the surface, so that it can be worked with, together with a therapist. The psychedelic substance also has the unique ability to soften the mind (thoughts) so as to allow one to drop into the body and work directly with trauma that is held there, so as to more quickly heal. I work with the two medicines that are legal: ketamine and cannabis.
