About

I am a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, business and program development director. I’ve worked for 20 years in psychiatry and addiction, at the inpatient, outpatient, and residential levels. I am a storyteller and bring creativity and integrative wellness to the fore. Our healthcare models are extremely limited (and unjust) at the macro and micro levels and my frustrations with the conventional evidence-based talk therapy and psychopharmacology approaches have reached the point of no return. Being part of the Psychedelic Medicine Association enables me to step out of the proverbial ‘psychedelic closet’. I am currently in the process of moving my career into the Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy space. I warmly welcome conversations about employment and collaboration.
