The Shift
For most of my life, I lived almost entirely in my head. I valued logic, structure, and control. I believed that if I could just think clearly enough, plan thoroughly enough, I could solve any problem — including the ones happening in my relationships and in my own heart.
That approach eventually ran out of road.
What I came to understand — slowly, uncomfortably, but undeniably — was that some of the most important parts of being human can't be solved through logic alone. They have to be felt, explored, and integrated.
My own work with plant medicine and dedicated self-inquiry opened a door I didn't know existed. It didn't give me answers so much as it helped me ask better questions: What am I actually feeling? Why does this pattern keep showing up? What would it look like to respond differently?
The transformation wasn't dramatic or sudden. It was gradual — a slow thaw. I learned to sit with discomfort instead of immediately strategizing my way out of it. I developed genuine empathy, not as a concept I understood intellectually, but as something I could actually feel. I started showing up differently in my relationships.
And I realized this kind of work — supporting people as they do their own exploration — is what I'm meant to do.
How I Work
I don't have a formula. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches to something as personal as consciousness and self-understanding.
What I offer is presence, safety, and skill. I've learned to hold space without needing to fix or direct. I know how to help people stay with what's arising — even when it's difficult — without pushing them toward any particular insight or outcome.
My approach is grounded and non-dogmatic. I'm not interested in mysticism for its own sake, and I won't tell you what your experience means. Instead, I help you develop your own capacity for self-inquiry — so you can continue this work long after our time together ends.
In my own exploration with psychedelics, I've focused on developing language to describe the psychedelic experience for those interested in embarking on this work. Preparing for the unknown can feel daunting, but one of the most effective tools we have is intention. Using analogy as a bridge between what we know and what lies ahead helps us approach the unknown with greater confidence and curiosity.
