My Story

Imagine your life opening, patterns loosening, threads detangling, and life moving more lightly through its ebbs and flows. Psychedelics can initiate this movement through an experience that is brief, yet part of a much larger unfolding. They open portals and channels within the body, mind, and spirit. Once open, it is not always clear how to live with what has been revealed or weave it into daily life.

As a psychedelic coach, I walk beside you in this unfolding, within the messy, beautiful, confusing, and expanding terrain that psychedelics can carry you into. I move slowly with you, one moment at a time, with patience, care, and deep respect for your natural rhythm. Part of the medicine that psychedelics hold is the reminder that there is space to slow down, to feel, and to begin again. Together we stay with what is alive, shedding the need to know where we are going.

My life's outlook has grown from this reverence of our living and breathing systems, holding a doctorate in Ecological Psychology, the psychological study of ecosystems and relationships. When I am not working at Fireside, I practice exposure-based therapy, teach yoga, and am currently training to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. These paths shape how I support people in meeting fear, uncertainty, and discomfort with compassion, curiosity, and an embodied sense of presence. My approach emphasizes learning to move with difficult experiences, allowing fear and pain to transform into greater ease, acceptance, and self-trust.

When I’m not working, you can find me walking in the woods, creating visionary art, or practicing my own exposure therapy through surfing the ocean waves.
