Many emotional struggles are not rooted in a lack of understanding. They live in the body, in patterns of tension, shutdown, or constant alertness that formed over time. I work directly with these patterns by helping your nervous system feel safe enough to soften and release.
Instead of pushing through or trying to override your experience, this approach listens carefully to what your body is already communicating. When the body is supported, change often happens more naturally and with less effort than people expect.
Healing That Works With the Body, Not Against It
Our Services
I offer several therapeutic paths, each grounded in safety, presence, and respect for your individual needs. We choose the approach that best supports where you are right now.
Ketamine Assisted Somatic Therapy
Ketamine can help soften defenses and allow access to sensations and emotions that are usually protected. I remain present throughout the session, guiding the work so the experience stays grounded and integrated rather than overwhelming.
Cannabis Assisted Somatic Therapy
Cannabis can support connection with bodily sensations, especially for people who experience numbness or dissociation. Sessions focus on tracking physical and emotional responses and allowing the body to process at its own pace.
Traditional Talk Therapy
I also offer talk therapy for adults and teens dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma. This work is more conversational and reflective.
Therapy That Focuses on What the Body Is Holding
This work shifts attention away from analyzing stories and toward noticing what is happening right now in the body. We still honor your history, but we do not rely on retelling it again and again.
In sessions, the focus is often on presence rather than problem-solving. That can feel unfamiliar at first, especially for people who have spent years in talk therapy.
You may notice that sessions involve:
Less explaining and more sensing
Guided attention to breath, movement, or physical sensations
Periods of quiet where the body integrates and releases
Emotional shifts without needing to fully understand them intellectually
For many people, talk therapy brought awareness but not relief. This work feels different because it supports the nervous system directly, where many patterns were formed in the first place.
What to Expect in a
Somatic Psychedelic Therapy Session
Sessions are structured, supportive, and paced to your capacity. A typical session includes:
Preparation and grounding
We begin by checking in and settling the body. I help you orient to the space and clarify intentions so you feel steady before anything deeper unfolds.
Guided somatic work:
Attention is gently guided toward physical sensations, emotions, or impulses as they arise. If medicine is part of the session, it is used to support access, not overwhelm.
Support during emotional shifts:
If intensity increases, I help you regulate and stay within your window of tolerance. You remain conscious and aware throughout the session.
Integration and closure:
We slow things down before ending, allowing your nervous system to settle and making space to reflect on what emerged.
Grounded, Professional, and Evidence-Informed Care
I am a licensed mental health professional trained in somatic and psychedelic therapy. Sessions are carefully screened, clearly structured, and paced to support nervous system safety and regulation.
This work is informed by neuroscience and clinical research on trauma and nervous system functioning. Research shows that trauma is often held in the body, and that working with physical sensation, emotion, and regulated states of awareness can support meaningful change. While each experience is personal, the methods used are grounded in established therapeutic practice.
My role is to provide a steady, professional container where change unfolds gradually and sustainably, rather than pushing for intense or overwhelming experiences.
what our clients say
Care for Those Ready to Feel More Present and Whole
This approach is often a good fit for people who feel stuck despite trying other forms of support.
Many clients come to this work for:
Trauma or PTSD that still shows up in the body
Anxiety or depression that feels chronic or exhausting
Long-term stress or burnout
Emotional numbness or dissociation
Grief or unresolved emotional experiences
A sense that talk therapy helped them understand, but not feel better
You do not need to have the right words or a clear story. We start with what is present.
Support That Continues Beyond the Session
The work does not end when a session is over. What comes up during somatic or psychedelic therapy often continues to unfold in the days and weeks that follow. I support you in making sense of these changes in a way that feels steady and integrated, not disruptive.
Integration sessions give space to reflect on what shifted in your body, emotions, or perspective. We focus on helping your nervous system stabilize new patterns so the change lasts, rather than fading once the experience passes.
For some people, this work stands on its own. For others, it fits alongside ongoing talk therapy, medication, or other forms of support. We take a practical, flexible approach based on what actually helps you in real life.
Start With Support You Can Trust
If you are curious about this work but unsure where to begin, that is completely okay. I believe the first step should feel grounded and pressure-free, not like a commitment you are not ready for.
A consultation is simply a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if this approach feels like the right fit for you. Request a free consultation or call us at 720-381-3060 to start the conversation.

Since young adulthood I have been on a spiritual journey of seeking for answers and truth about our greater reality. This seeking is ultimately a fruitless endeavor unless applied. My career is an embodied application of my learning. Healing my own relational wounding is my personal calling, and I am actively involved in my own therapeutic process.
I have been trained by a group of cutting edge psychedelic therapists at Innate Path in Broomfield, CO. I completed training at Innate Path in Winter of 2022.
I graduated from Naropa University in 2023 with a Masters in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling.
Originally from Arkansas, I moved to Colorado to obtain my masters degree and train in psychedelic modalities for the treatment of trauma.
