Other offerings

As a person born and raised in Colorado,  I always found peace  in the outdoors. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of nature to bring us outside of ourselves and into a place of greater connection through sensory and somatic engagement. I  offer clients the option to meet outside as an alternative to regular office-based therapy work. When weather permits, clients and I  walk along the river, in the forest, or meet on the grass in a park.   Often, this is well-integrated with existential work and psychedelic-informed therapy with which I also engage.

I am a psychedelic-informed provider and offer consultation and education for other providers, clients, and the community regarding current psychedelic research. I honor the choices of clients who pursue psychedelic treatment and offer harm-reduction and support for those wishing to pursue psychedelics as adjunctive treatments.

Note: while I honor individual agency with psychedelics, I do not sell or provide psychedelics.

I also offer case management, which is distinct from therapy in its "hands-on" approach. In this role, I support individuals in need of more on-the-ground support in the community, often as they transition from institutional settings, such as hospitals, or after major episodes in a psychiatric illness or life transitions. I collaborate with the individual, their support network, and relevant community members to help the individual find peace and security by with secured critical resources (housing, employment, healthcare, behavioral and social support). I do so by helping them navigate different systems to overcome barriers to access and providing ongoing support and advocacy.

Like case management, recovery coaching involves working more closely with the client on a daily basis. It is completely individualized depending on the client's needs, but often involves:

• Creating a plan for care by identifying obstacles and potential avenues for achieving long-term sobriety
• Providing assistance to individuals as they enter and navigate treatment or post-treatment recovery
• Aiding in the ongoing maintenance of sobriety after treatment by supporting clients during crisis and in finding the resources and coping skills for long-term recovery
• Frequent check-ins and solution-focused support
