A Holistic, Physician-Led Approach to Healing and Expanded States of Consciousness

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

My Approach to Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

Rooted in ancient healing traditions and backed by modern science, psychedelic-assisted therapy offers a profound path to healing, insight, and transformation. As a physician trained in integrative medicine, I combine clinical expertise with spiritual depth to guide this work safely and meaningfully.

My practice honors psychedelic medicine as sacred, not trendy—a tool, not a shortcut. I approach each patient as a whole person nested in relationship with community, ancestry, nature, and spirit. My method blends:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Medical Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Jungian and Archetypal Coaching
  • Meaning and Purpose Centered Therapies
  • Nature-Based Healing & Rituals

Using legally available ketamine, this work supports expanded states of consciousness that can unlock emotional release, deepen self-awareness, and spark neuroplastic healing. Mystical states often experienced may reconnect you with meaning, resilience, and your innate capacity to heal.


What Psychedelic Therapy Can Support

This work may be helpful for those navigating:

  • Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders
  • Burnout, disconnection, or loss of meaning
  • Grief, trauma, existential pain
  • End-of-life existential distress
  • Spiritual crises or awakenings
  • A longing to reconnect with mystery or sacredness

Psychedelic therapy can be especially meaningful for those who’ve explored other healing paths and feel ready for deeper inner work. Sometimes, it begins with a soul’s quiet call for more.

This is not a first-line treatment and is not suitable for everyone. Conditions like active psychosis, specific health concerns, or certain medications may be contraindications. Careful evaluation is part of every plan.

When medicine is not the next right step, I offer other support and guidance in other ways to access and integrate expanded-states of awareness—like guided ritual, dreamwork, breathwork, prolongued meditation, shamanic journeying, fasting, or dance. The medicine doesn’t always come from outside—it can rise from within.


Your Personalized Psychedelic Healing Journey

Your care is always customized and grounded in your values, health history, and psycho-spiritual readiness. A typical psychedelic therapy care plan includes:

  • Initial Holistic Medical Evaluation: A deep-dive into your emotional, physical, and spiritual state to determine appropriateness and ensure safety.
  • Preparation Sessions: Focused on intention-setting and building therapeutic connection. These may include different therapeutic modalities, such as Jungian therapeutic coaching, acupuncture, nutritional and lifestyle guidance to prepare the mind and body.
  • Medicine Session: Held in a ceremonial manner with tailored sound healing, guided intention-setting, and acupuncture to deepen insights and minimize potential side effects (like nausea).
  • Post-Medicine Integration: Continued care to help you process and embody insights—through coaching, acupuncture, nature-based rituals, and other holistic tools.

Currently, ketamine is the only legal psychedelic option in California. With decades of research behind it, ketamine has been shown to be safe, fast-acting, and effective, especially for mood disorders. I use it with reverence and respect for its transformative potential.

Other medicines (psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, etc.) may be discussed in an educational, spiritual, harm reduction, safety enhancing framework tailored to your situation. I also offer psychedelic integration counseling for those processing past journeys, with or without additional medicine use.
