Therapeutic Coaching & Counseling
For Trauma, Religious Abuse &
Psychedelic Journeys

In recent years, exciting research has shown that the use of plant medicine may be helpful for trauma-related concerns. The key to success is gaining quality and informed support in the process. I offer preparation and integration counseling and coaching so you can get the most from your experience.* In addition, if you are looking for support for moving on from trauma or religious abuse (including cult membership), therapeutic coaching and counseling can help.

I care about “what happened to you” and use my 25 years of experience as a licensed, trauma-informed therapist to help you identify your intentions and process your journey. Our work will be supportive, informative and transformational. We’ll focus on your process using psycho-education and expressive modalities.

We can explore what works for you, based on your interests and strengths! Learn more about the benefits of therapeutic coaching.

I use a harm reduction approach. I do not supply substances but recognize that people who are seeking healing with currently illegal substances, need support, education and guidance.

Recent research shows that psychedelic plant medicine can be astonishingly effective in helping people overcome depression, anxiety, the effects of trauma and more. However, this research stresses the importance of knowledgeable support. I offer work with Ketamine (via ISHA Health) and other plant medicines.

I offer a holistic perspective with no reliance on diagnostics or labels. Compassion is the foundation for our work. A combination of education and emotional support can help you move forward.

Religious Abuse Syndrome and cult membership can have a life-long effect. Ex-members often experience two major traumas: the initial time of membership and leaving the group. I understand the nuances of these circumstances and offer informed support.

The psychedelic world is exploding. Many people seek help to heal from the after-effects of traumatic experiences. Often, those who want to help lack formal education or experience working with difficult conditions. Understanding the science behind the trauma-informed movement, as well as the dynamics trauma survivors may bring, is essential for those offering support via plant medicines.

As I helped my clients recover and find their best lives, I realized that much of what I do is actually therapeutic “coaching”. It’s coaching within the context of individuals’ stories, but the focus is on recovery (or “discovery” in many cases!) and moving forward, to the future. I don’t believe that, in most situations, people need to be in “therapy” for decades at a time.
