A Safe Space for Deep Healing in Marin County

The healing experience is integral to the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine. Psychedelic psychotherapy facilitates an immersive encounter with your unconscious mind, allowing you to experience transformative insights, emotional release, and embodied wisdom. As a licensed therapist in California and an experienced psychedelic guide, I am committed to fostering a culture of safety, accountability, reliability, and attunement to support your healing journey.

Setting Intentions for Inner Exploration

The intentions you set and those I hold as your therapist during your psychedelic journey play a critical role in shaping your experience. Intentionality is the foundation for effective inner exploration in psychedelic psychotherapy. It is important to do this work with someone you trust to approach your pain with courage and sensitivity.
 
My role is to guide you through the entire process of change—from preparation to integration. I will support your emotional process, encourage your expansion, and provide stabilization during the inevitable waves of contraction that occur while navigating the shadow parts of your psyche, where trauma and suffering often reside.

The Alchemy of Transformation

The healing potential of psychedelic medicine comes alive through the alchemy of your inner wisdom, the medicine, and the therapeutic presence amplified in an environment rich with ceremony, music, and ritual.
 
Whether your gateway to inner exploration is psychedelic medicine, breathwork, meditation or movement, a loving energetic presence is essential to cultivating the safe, cathartic environment that enables psycho-spiritual emergence.

Psychedelic Integration and Grounding

The real work of transformation begins during the integration phase. Insights gained during a psychedelic session serve as seeds of change. These seeds hold the potential to profoundly alter how you see and interact with the world around you. Integration is the process of nurturing these seeds. It involves attending to, shining a light on, and nourishing the insights you’ve gained to bring them to life. Psychedelic integration is where the healing potential of psychedelics becomes lasting and impactful.

Opportunities for Sustained Growth

During post-psychedelic periods of heightened neuroplasticity, the mind’s ability to reorganize itself creates profound opportunities for growth. This is a time ripe for embedding new perspectives and relational patterns into daily life.

A long term therapeutic process ensures these insights are met with compassion, care, and meaningful integration. When grounded in relational healing, psychedelic psychotherapy initiates sustained transformation and a deeper sense of well-being.
