Experiential Counseling
Ongoing Non-Psychedelic Support
Overview
This is the foundation: safe, grounded, trauma-informed counseling designed to meet you where you are, no psychedelics required.
My counseling practice is rooted in Gestalt therapy, somatic awareness, and a deep respect for the human capacity to heal when met with presence and support.
Whether you’re facing life transitions, emotional overwhelm, spiritual disorientation, or integration after a transformative experience, this space is for ongoing inner work. It’s not about symptom management, it’s about uncovering what’s alive, unfinished, or yearning to be seen.
Who Is This For?
-
Individuals in a spiritual emergence or psychological transition
-
Those not ready or eligible for psychedelic work but still seeking deep healing and transformation
-
Clients working through grief, anxiety, relational patterns, or identity shifts
-
People who’ve had psychedelic experiences and want to continue integrating over time without using more medicine
About My Counseling Background
My work as a counselor is rooted in deep passion for the human condition and a belief that real change happens through honest, authentic presence. Before counseling, I went through my own years of personal development through psychotherapy and spiritual exploration, which gave me knowledge of what real transformation requires.
That path led me to formal training in mental health and addiction counseling at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where I became CADC-II certified through CCAPP. I went on to spend over a decade providing individual and group counseling for people navigating substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, work that deeply shaped my understanding of resilience, accountability, and the spectrum of healing.
My style is grounded, experiential, and relational. I draw from Gestalt Therapy, Reichian principles, Motivational Interviewing, and Reality Therapy/Choice Theory, which I utilize as active tools for awareness, accountability, and self-leadership. When appropriate, I incorporate Guided Music Meditation as a way to access deeper insight beyond language.
I don’t sit back in sessions and ask you how you’re feeling. I show up as an authentic human being who is attentive, present, lively and engaged. My role is to help you access what’s already within you but hidden from your awareness: greater clarity, power, and the part of you that’s ready to lead.
What's included
Experiential Counseling
Gestalt-based inquiry — bringing awareness to patterns, emotional looping, avoidance, or unfinished business so you can meet it directly rather than stay stuck in it
Somatic awareness & grounding practices — learning how to recognize tension, anxiety, and overwhelm in the body and regulate it in real time
Inner dialogue / parts work — helping conflicting emotions, beliefs, or “younger selves” find voice, clarity, and resolution
Self-worth & boundary development — identifying internalized shame, people-pleasing, or self-doubt and rebuilding an inner stance of dignity
Shame resilience & vulnerability training — learning how to stay present with discomfort without collapsing or armoring
Every session is defined by the moment and is not scripted. I don’t force you into a model, I encourage you to break the mold. I meet you where you are and move at the pace your system allows.
