There are many types of journeys, some are inward, and some are outward. Whether struggling with mental health, grief, trauma, or the pressures of life in this fast-paced and overwhelming world, all of us deserve to be seen, heard, understood, and to live fulfilling and healthy lives. This can seem an impossible mountain to climb when we find ourselves deep within a valley of despair or flooded by overwhelming experiences. It is OK to ask for help. And I am glad that you are here. I received my master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Michigan. As a master’s student, I co-founded the Student Association for Psychedelic Studies, an interdisciplinary student organization led by graduate students based in the UM School of Social Work, whose mission is to educate and collaborate around the emerging body of research on the potential for healing and growth that psychedelic, entheogenic and plant medicines hold. I have received additional training in psychedelic integration, psilocybin-assisted therapy in a clinical trial setting, mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed and somatic-focused therapy.
