Psychedelic integration
therapy
A psychedelic experience can bring up feelings, insights or questions that take time to understand. You may come away with a sense of possibility, feel unsettled, or be unsure what to make of it. An experience can feel significant without making the next step obvious.
I offer a thoughtful, grounded space to explore what happened and how it relates to your life. Sessions are online for adults in the Bay Area and throughout California.

Making sense of the experience
Integration does not require treating every thought or feeling from an experience as a truth you must act on. We can be curious about what came up while also considering it carefully, in the context of your relationships, responsibilities and everyday life.
Sometimes the work involves a change you want to make. Sometimes it means sitting with uncertainty or finding words for an experience you have not felt able to discuss elsewhere. We do not need to force an interpretation or turn it into a dramatic story.
My perspective
My background includes psychedelic therapy training, clinical work and adherence rating for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy trials. At Polaris Insight Center, I remain involved in ketamine-assisted trainings and mentorship. I am also the founder of Luvia, a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy clinic in Brazil.
These experiences inform my work, but our sessions are about you, not promoting a particular treatment or philosophy. I bring the same warmth, directness and attention to relationships that I bring to my other psychotherapy work. We can explore both what felt meaningful and what felt difficult or confusing.
What these sessions include
These are psychotherapy sessions. They do not involve taking psychedelic substances, and I do not prescribe, supply or administer them in this private practice. Seeking integration support does not mean you need to pursue another psychedelic experience.
Do I need to know what the experience meant?
No. Questions, mixed feelings and uncertainty are all reasonable places to start.
Can integration include ordinary life concerns?
Yes. Relationships, work, habits and expectations may be central to the conversation. Integration is not separate from the rest of your life.
Starting therapy
Individual sessions are $250 for 50 minutes or $325 for 80 minutes, online for clients in California.
A consultation is a chance to talk about what brings you in and see whether working together feels like a fit.
