The Path that Led Me Here
I swam in the waters of suffering for 25 years before finding peace.
The anxiety, depression, confusion, the nights I didn’t think I’d make it through — all of it became the initiation. It shaped me into someone I never imagined I could become: someone free from suffering. Not because life got easier, but because I stopped fighting it. Through that process, I realized pain isn’t something to be escaped — it’s something to be listened to. And once I learned how to really listen, I felt called to help others do the same.
So now, I serve as a kind of tour guide — not someone with all the answers, but someone who knows the terrain. Especially the terrain of the dark, the tangled, and the tender. Whether you're navigating the aftershocks of a psychedelic experience or just trying to make sense of life’s heaviness, I’m here to walk with you as you find your own way through.
My Background
I’ve spent over 15 years working in mental health across a wide range of settings in the DC/MD/VA area — including psychiatric research, residential and psychiatric rehabilitation, school-based services, police crisis trainings, court systems, correctional facilities, and deep community outreach.
In addition to traditional roles, I’ve also worked as a psychedelic facilitator and coach, offering one-on-one support for those exploring altered states for healing and their integration. I'm closely connected with the psychedelic healing community in the Washington DC/Baltimore area, and I’ve sat on both sides of the medicine. That lived experience continues to inform how I hold space.
