“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ~Carl Jung
I have been steadily engaged in two decades of self-exploration and a decade of trainings. I continuously do my own work and learning to support my private practice. I have spent years training and learning each of the following methods: Integral Psychology, Depth Psychology, Somatic Psychotherapy, Diamond Approach, Enneagram, Tantra, Archetypal Astrology, Attachment, and Entheogenic Shamanism. Each method works at cultivating a sensitivity in cognitively, emotionally, energetically, and physically understanding and working with individuals.
“Although a person can have a peak experience of a higher dimension, the person’s self still has to grow and develop and evolve in order to permanently accommodate to those higher or deeper dimensions, in order to turn an ‘altered state’ into a ‘permanent trait.’ ~Ken Wilber
Zoom Sessions
One-on-One counseling sessions over Zoom. These are 50 minute blocks. We will be using the Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy method, with influences from transpersonal, integral, and traditional psychology. This offering can also be intended for preparation and integration work. I can provide context, integration, and grounding for one’s previous psychedelic experiences, whether they be traumatic or ecstatic. These counseling sessions are sliding scale $200-$250 (standard Bay Area prices), and are held Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Daylong Sessions
Daylong sessions, lasting at least six hours, utilize several different practices. These are focused on using expanded states of consciousness for transformation and healing. Methods such as holotropic breathwork, meditation, bodywork, and indigenous practices are used. Psychedelics are illegal in the United States, and therefore we will be exploring other methods to enter into what psychologist Stanislav Grof calls “holotropic states”, states of consciousness that organically lead one towards wholeness. These sessions are normally paired with two preparation sessions before the ceremony and two integrations following the ceremony. This is a three to five-week process. Many clients fly in to the Bay Area for these sessions and rent an Air-BnB nearby. The package, which includes both the preparation and integration sessions, are sliding scale $2,000 - $3,000. Daylong sessions are held Mondays and Wednesdays.
Consultations
I also offer consultation sessions. About three therapists or individuals each week reach out to see how they can become professionally engaged in the field of psychedelic psychotherapy. There are different trainings in this area, with more emerging. This time can be used to explore the options a person has or to discuss my research in fields of psychedelics, philosophy, cosmology, spirituality, and psychology. Those interested in joining our Atman psilocybin retreats in Jamaica can also get a call with me to ask about our experiences. These consultation sessions can be 30 minutes for $100 or 50 minutes for $200.
