I see myself as a creative collaborator with my therapy clients. I incorporate ketamine-assisted therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, hypnosis, and dream analysis in an eclectic way to serve individual client needs. EMDR is an effective tool for processing trauma, but the ability to support that experience with psychedelic medicines alleviates suffering for many more clients in significantly less time. These medicines often evoke what I call the “Observer” part of the psyche. This wise part has the distance to feel a deep sense of empathy toward the traumatized parts of the psyche. I recognize practitioners of this psychedelic-assisted therapy require the best training in how to properly and legally support clients using these medicines, and to follow empirically-based protocols which have been proven safe and effective. This is particularly essential for fragile, traumatized clients. I am a lover of nature and spend time hiking, trail running, and mountain biking in the gorgeous Wasatch Mountains and the deserts in Southern Utah. I enjoy fitness, research in psychology, philosophy, and the philosophical implications of nascent areas of research such as the juxtaposition of psychedelics and artificial intelligence.
