LICENSE AND EDUCATION
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Oregon (#T1723) and California (#93170). My graduate education focused on the integration of psychology and contemplative practice. I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology with a specialization in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Integrative Health from Saybrook University (2023), and a M.A. in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (2013).
After completing my graduate studies, I enrolled in a psychedelic therapy training program through the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness. I am a credentialed Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Guide (Clinical Cannabis Specialty). I am currently receiving training and mentorship to add a second specialty in Clinical Ketamine.
I regularly engage in continuing education opportunities to improve my skills and stay current in the field. Key areas of professional development include: somatic therapies, attachment and interpersonal neurobiology, trauma-informed care, ecopsychology, and psychedelic harm reduction and integration.
