Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

If you are working or planning on working with psychedelics*, I am here to support you in preparation and integration. It is never too early to start preparation, nor is it too late to work on integration.

My intention is to provide accessible and affordable support to veterans and the entire warrior class on their psychedelic-assisted healing journeys.

I incorporate my 10+ years of practicing and training in mind-body and spiritual modalities plus professional psychedelic-centered training into guiding you in preparation and integration. In our collaborative work together we will:

  • Build your embodied awareness by practicing tools and developing skills to support your ability to notice what is happening in your mind-body system and respond skillfully - mindfulness, yoga, visualizations, somatic practices, etc
  • Ensure you build up a toolbox of resources that personally resonate with you which you can bring into medicine journeys as well as preparation and integration outside of our sessions.
  • Learn more about the mind-body-soul system from both scientific and spiritual frameworks; I like to have grounding in science but leave plenty of room to explore the mystery of the sacred and more-than-human intelligence

I invite you to check out my YouTube channel to see how I teach and the kinds of tools and practices I share to see if it resonates with you.

For my fellow members of the warrior class

That means my fellow veterans, active-duty military folks, first responders, as well as our partners and caregivers! I am here to provide accessible preparation and integration support as I understand many non-profits providing legal psychedelic treatments to us and our loved ones have limited resources. Thus, you may only have a few preparation or integration sessions included. It would be my honor to serve you in providing whatever additional support you need.

Or perhaps you got the VA or your insurance to cover ketamine therapy, but the treatment doesn't include guided journeys or preparation or integration. I can help there too!

I have 20 years of military experience (11 active duty in the Navy). I did three big gray boat deployments in my Navy days, and nine (45 days to seven months) boots on ground trips to the Middle East as a contractor and civilian. My last of four Afghanistan deployments- I left my camp at Bagram in April of 2021. After returning home, I watched the fall of Afghanistan unfold from my CONUS SOF JOC while providing intel support. I drove from NC to GA to start my job as the Civilian SIA for 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment the day after the HKIA tragedy. It was rough.

While my nerd duties kept me behind the wire in JOCs and JIOCs, I still had a front row seat to the harrowing realities of the GWOT. I did five years full-time supporting SOF units forward and from CONUS, including JSOC HQ and the 75th Ranger Regiment. All that to say, this is a judgment-free zone- I have seen a lot and you can bring as much or as little as you like into our sessions.

My Training

Turns out I was wired for psychedelic preparation and integration work! For the past decade I have been fascinated by and practicing mind-body and spiritual modalities like mindfulness meditation and yoga. I have also been experiencing non-ordinary states of consciousness through the shamanic journey, which I enter through a rapid drumbeat. Much of the work of shamanic healing is integrating what you learn and what happens in the journey itself.

For psychedelic-centric training, I completed Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator training with Dr. Devon Christie and Atira Tan in December 2025; ZENDO's Sitting and Integration Training in March 2026, and I am currently in Charlotte James' Psychedelic Liberation Training. I am also enrolled to start Onaya's Psychedelic Mentorship Training at the end of April 2026.

All that to say, I am committed to equipping myself with the knowledge and skills to best support you in your psychedelic healing journeys, ethically, safely, and meaningfully. I also keep up with podcasts and news sources focused on sharing psychedelic research and policy updates, and always have a psychedelic-centered book in my reading or listening rotation.

My formal training on modalities supporting psychedelic-centered practices includes yoga teaching, a two-year professional mindfulness meditation program, 400/800 hours of a professional yoga therapy training, and over 400 hrs of somatic-centric training as well.

I also have three years of intensive Celtic shamanism training starting back in 2017 with my teacher Jane Burns. If that intrigues you, check out more about my shamanic healing arts practice here.

All of these trainings helped me deepen my personal practice and provided me with a ton (and variety!) of tools and frameworks to bring in to working with others on their embodiment and trauma healing journeys.

I also have a Masters in Organizational Psychology, plus 27 credit hours of a doctoral program in Leadership Psychology....which means I have graduate-level education in interpersonal psychology, adult development, personal growth, neuroscience, psychology of career and identity change/transitions, and positive psychology.

Last, I am enrolled in a Master of Social Work (MSW) program which will start in August as the first step in the process to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My goal is to become a trauma therapist serving my fellow veterans and the warrior class with conventional and integrative therapies, including psychedelics, and cognitive as well as body-based modalities.
