Psychedelic Guiding & Journey Facilitation
Psychedelic-Assisted Sessions
Overview
Psychedelic work is powerful and is often described as one of the most life-changing experiences a person can have.
It can be deeply beautiful and awe-inspiring, filled with moments of challenge followed by profound relief, insight, and inner resolve. It’s a profound process best approached with a skilled counselor, guide, and professional music curator by your side.
In my practice, I offer a grounded, therapeutic approach to exploring altered states of consciousness for those seeking healing, clarity, or spiritual connection. My role isn’t to control or direct your journey, but to support it with personalized care, structure, and presence.
Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, grief, or simply sensing that something in you is ready to explore the unknown, this work provides a safe and well-supported container for deep inner exploration. Ethical screening, thoughtful preparation, intentional music selection, and evidence-based integration counseling are woven together to help your experience unfold with meaning and take root in your daily life with lasting impact.
Who is this for?
-
Clients ready for a deeply intentional psychedelic experience
-
Individuals seeking to explore trauma, life transitions, spiritual themes, or creative blocks
-
Those who resonate with the idea of music as a therapeutic ally
-
Experienced psychonauts wanting a guided, professionally supported deep dive
What Is Psychedelic Guiding?
Psychedelic Guiding provides the structured framework around the journey — offering preparation, real-time support, and post-session integration to help your experience unfold with clarity and intention. My approach blends trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, and mindfulness-based psychology with the intentional use of psychedelic and entheogenic medicines.
Journeywork may focus on releasing unresolved trauma, shifting limiting thought patterns, calming the nervous system, and reconnecting with your deeper self. This work is particularly supportive for those navigating PTSD, anxiety, grief, shame, or a sense of disconnection.
With careful preparation, grounded guidance, and post-journey integration, powerful experiences can become lasting healing. My role is to walk alongside you in this process — offering emotional support, therapeutic tools, and a steady presence before, during, and after the journey.
Benefits & Outcomes
Psychedelic Guiding can support you in:
Releasing emotional heaviness, confusion, or fragmentation
Regulating the nervous system and processing trauma
Gaining insight into personal patterns, purpose, and next steps
Building greater self-awareness, compassion, and clarity
Expanding creativity, imagination, and intuitive decision-making
Learning practical tools to integrate expanded states into everyday life
Whether you’re preparing for your first intentional journey or seeking support to integrate past experiences, this work offers a grounded, music-informed pathway for transformation.
The Role of Music in the Journey
Music is not background in this work — it’s a core part of the therapeutic process. With over 30 years as a DJ and sound curator, I use intentionally crafted soundscapes to guide emotional flow, deepen insight, and create a sense of safety throughout the journey.
In both live facilitation and private practice, I draw from the same methodologies featured in my book The Psychedelic DJ, using carefully sequenced mixes and adaptive soundtracking to support each stage of the experience.

My Approach & Background
I bring together two worlds: over a decade of clinical harm-reduction and addiction counseling experience, and more than 30 years of expertise as a DJ and sound curator for ceremonies, conscious events, and private sessions.
My therapeutic style draws from Gestalt Therapy, humanistic counseling, and treatment for co-occurring disorders. What makes my work unique is the way I integrate music — not as background ambiance, but as a central therapeutic tool. Over decades, I’ve developed a music-centered methodology that helps shape and guide the journey in powerful, transformative ways.
This combination of clinical skill, lived experience, and music-guided practice creates a multidimensional healing space — one that is both safe and deeply attuned. To learn more about my approach, visit the About Page
Rates & Access
My traditional counseling rate is $150 an hour. Rates for guided work vary depending on the depth and scope of support, and can be customized to meet individual needs.
I offer sessions on a sliding scale, honoring the reality that access to healing should not be restricted by income.
For those with financial limitations, a Benefactor-Supported Journey Scholarship Fund is available to provide full or partial coverage for low-income clients. Special preference for veterans, police, fire and first responders; thank you for your service!
