My Story

Hello! My approach to coaching offers a compassionate and collaborative space in which we can work together to understand what you wish to bring to the altar of psychedelic medicine, and how we can build a supportive framework for integrating and making meaning of your journeys. I hold this process with respect for the courage it takes to seek out psychedelic healing, and with reverence for the power of non-ordinary states and the sometimes complex and non-linear ways in which these experiences allow us to grow toward wholeness.

In two years of volunteering on the Fireside Psychedelic Support Line, I had the privilege of bearing witness to hundreds of hours of psychedelic experiences. I am humbled by the courage and grace of journeyers who brought vastly different experiences, identities, traumas, joys, questions, or intentions to the altar of psychedelic medicine.

Outside of my work at Fireside, I am a doctoral student in Depth Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and an intern psychotherapist at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco.
