Services & Fees
50 Minute Talk Therapy Teleheath
A 50-minute telehealth session focused on helping you understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools for healing and change. My approach integrates trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR, parts work, and somatic awareness.
50 Minute Coaching Session
Focus on integration, clarity, and forward movement. We may explore insights from psychedelic experiences, identify meaningful themes that emerged, and translate those insights into practical changes in daily life, relationships, and personal growth. Sessions can also include mindset work, pattern awareness, and tools for maintaining integration after a psychedelic journey. Coaching is educational and supportive in nature and does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.
