Psychedelic Integration & Peer-Support

Overview

This offering provides nonclinical, trauma-informed peer support for individuals navigating the complex aftereffects of altered states. Whether you're feeling inspired, confused, destabilized, or simply in need of a safe container to reflect and make meaning, this space is designed to honor your autonomy, meet you where you are, and help you integrate your experience into everyday life.

Support is grounded in evidence-based practices, including insights from neuroscience, psychoanalysis, spiritual traditions, and harm-reduction. These sessions are not a substitute for clinical care but can complement therapeutic or spiritual guidance you may already be receiving.

Offerings

1-on-1 Integration Coaching

Receive ethical peer-support grounded in current research, lived experience, and cultural frameworks. Depending on your goals, we may explore: 

- Meaning-Making: Reflecting on the personal, emotional, or spiritual significance of your experience

-  Psychoeducation: Understanding how altered states affect the mind and body

- Mapping Internal Landscapes: Using tools from Jungian, shamanic, contemplative, or cognitive neuroscience perspectives

- Nervous System Regulation: Practices for grounding, embodiment, and self-regulation

- Resource Building: Identifying practices, people, or communities that can support ongoing integration

- Spiritual Emergence Support: Making sense of experiences that feel like awakenings, breakthroughs, or crises

- Cultural & Ancestral Contexts: Honoring the spiritual or cultural frameworks your experience may relate to

Note: Each session is confidential, collaborative, and centered around your autonomy. I do not diagnose, pathologize, or provide professional advice. Instead, I hold space for reflection, safety, and growth.

My Background

My own path of healing began through powerful, perspective-shifting psychedelic experiences that were difficult to contextualize without professional support. This sparked a lifelong commitment to study and service, initially through explorations in Jungian psychology and spiritual practice, and later through formal training in counseling and neuroscience research. 

Today, I volunteer in psychedelic harm reduction with organizations such as DanceSafe, Insomniac’s Ground Control & Headliner Experience, Harmonia Sanctuary, and The Remedy to support individuals at festivals and events where psychedelic experiences often unfold in high-energy, low-support environments where transformative experiences often arise. 

In parallel, I work as a neuroscience researcher, investigating altered states of consciousness during meditation and psychedelic use. My academic collaborations with the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC) and fieldwork at advanced meditation retreats have given me firsthand insight into both the healing potential and the challenges of integrating mystical experiences. I am currently developing a new study to understand the factors that lead to sustained positive and negative experiences during psychedelic integration. I hope to apply these scientific findings into evidence-based integration practices for diverse communities, and eventually my own future clinical therapy practice.

As the IPN Labs Coordinator, I also facilitate monthly community integration circles, offering shared space for reflection among those working in psychedelic care, research, or exploration. In a more intimate context, I previously facilitated a weekly Zoom-based integration group with close friends, drawing from evidence-based goal-setting frameworks and collective accountability practices. This personal and professional grounding shapes my approach to community-based integration, emphasizing connectedness, active listening, and embodied practice with those who were with us during our most vulnerable moments.
