These experiences can be among the most meaningful of a person's life
A psychedelic or ketamine experience can open a door that nothing else opens — to clarity, to grief, to awe, to questions you didn't know you were carrying. But the experience itself is only the beginning. What matters is what you do with it — not just making sense of what happened, but letting it shape how you live and how you see the world.
There's a long history behind this work — longer than most people realize. Some of the most important breakthroughs in treating addiction, depression, and existential suffering have roots in psychedelic experience. The research coming out of Johns Hopkins and Imperial College London continues to confirm what many people have already felt firsthand: these experiences can fundamentally change how a person relates to themselves, to others, and to what their life is for.
I take that seriously. I believe in the neuroscience — in neuroplasticity, in the brain's capacity to reorganize around new insight. I also believe these experiences reach beyond what science alone can measure. They touch something personal and deeply human — the kind of meaning-making that shapes how you live going forward.
That's why I don't treat integration as a debrief. I treat it as ongoing work — the kind that deserves patience, discernment, and someone who isn't going to rush you through it.
This work typically moves through three phases — though the pace and shape are always yours.
We talk about intention. Not a rigid agenda, but a sense of what you're opening yourself up to and why. This is also where we address any fears, expectations, or questions — so you feel grounded before anything begins.
This is where most of the work lives. We make space for whatever came up — insight, emotion, confusion, clarity, all of it — and begin the process of understanding what it means for your life. Not rushing to conclusions. Not forcing a narrative. Just paying attention to what's surfacing and giving it room to take shape.
Integration isn't a single conversation. The insights that surface often need to be lived with before they fully make sense. Some people do focused work after one experience and return months or years later when a new experience — or a new chapter of life — opens things up again.
I came to psychedelic integration through a path that most practitioners in this space don't have.
I'm certified through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, and my approach is grounded in over twelve years of clinical experience as a licensed psychotherapist — working with people from all walks of life, in my own practice, at Silver Hill Hospital, and in Ukraine during the war.
That background matters here. Psychedelic experiences can surface things that require real skill to hold — grief, trauma, spiritual and meaning disorientation, identity shifts. I know what those moments look like, and I know how to be steady in them. I also know when someone needs more than coaching — and when that happens, I'll say so, and I'll work alongside your therapist to make sure you're supported.
This is coaching, not psychotherapy. I don't prescribe, administer, or supervise the use of any substance. I don't provide therapy on this site.
What I do offer is dedicated support before and after your experience — helping you set intention, make sense of what came up, and carry those insights forward into how you live.
If you're working with a therapist, I'm happy to collaborate with them. If something surfaces that needs clinical attention, I'll tell you — clearly and directly — and help you find the right support. That's not a limitation. It's what responsible practice looks like.
I work with clients whose experiences take place in legal, supported settings — including ketamine-assisted therapy through a licensed provider, clinical psilocybin programs, and legal international retreats.
This might be a good fit if you've had a psychedelic or ketamine experience and you're still sitting with what it opened up. Or if you're preparing for an experience and want to approach it with curiosity and a willingness to engage with whatever comes forward.
These experiences ask something of you. The integration does too. It's not a single session or a quick answer — it's an ongoing commitment to paying attention to what these experiences are showing you. If that resonates, we'll work well together.
If this kind of work is something you're considering — whether you've already had an experience or you're just beginning to explore the possibility — I'm happy to talk about it.
