Professional Consultation for Therapists

Depth-Oriented, Feminist, and Psychedelically-Informed Clinical Support

Whether you’re a newer therapist seeking guidance or a seasoned clinician looking for soulful support, I offer professional consultation that honors both your clinical growth and your inner development. My consultation style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I bring a depth-oriented, psycho-spiritual perspective informed by psychodynamic, transpersonal, and Jungian theory, alongside a deep respect for nuance, complexity, and the sacredness of this work.

I provide consultation for licensed therapists in Oakland and throughout California, with a focus on helping you deepen your practice and feel more rooted in your therapeutic voice.

For Therapists Seeking Depth, Clarity, and Soul

You may be feeling the limits of technique or theoretical orientation and want to explore countertransference, scope of competence, or cases that bring something up in you. You may want a space to think out loud, metabolize the emotional weight of the work, and tend to your own inner process as it relates to your clinical role.

I offer ongoing consultation and case support in areas such as:

• Complex trauma and developmental trauma

• Grief, loss, death, and dying

• Feminist clinical perspectives and internalized oppression

• Therapy for highly sensitive people and neurodivergence

• Spirituality, spiritual emergence, and soul loss

• Midlife transitions and identity shifts

• The emotional lives of therapists—burnout, boundaries, longing

Consultation in Psychedelic Integration & Cannabis Use in Therapy

If you’re working with clients who use psychedelics or cannabis—or are asking about them—I offer specialized consultation around the clinical, ethical, and relational dimensions of these powerful substances.

Whether you’re new to psychedelic-informed therapy or have questions about harm reduction, contraindications, or emerging clinical best practices, I bring over a decade of experience in this field. My goal is to offer grounded, non-hype-driven guidance around these increasingly common (and often misunderstood) client experiences.

Topics we can explore include:

• How to support clients integrating psychedelic journeys

• Identifying when a client may not be a good candidate for psychedelic or cannabis use

• Navigating “bad trips,” re-traumatization, or spiritual disorientation

• Minimizing harm and clarifying the therapist’s ethical role

• Countertransference, scope of practice, and clinical boundaries

• Professional development for clinicians interested in psychedelic therapy or integration work

Experience & Background

My work with psychedelics and cannabis spans more than 15 years. Highlights include:

• MAPS Adherence Rater (2017–2022): I reviewed hundreds of hours of MDMA-assisted therapy sessions and provided clinical feedback to therapists within the MDMA for PTSD studies.

• Clinical Supervision at Sage Institute (now Alchemy): Focused on psychedelic integration and trauma-informed care.

• Trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

• Published Protocol: My protocol for cannabis-assisted psychotherapy was published by Psychedelic Support Network.

• Cannabis & Psychotherapy Writer: I’ve written for The Psychotherapy Institute on the complexities of cannabis use in therapy.

• Academic Roots in Amerindian Psychiatry: My undergraduate thesis focused on susto (soul loss) and traditional South American soul retrieval practices using ayahuasca with a shaman.

• Graduate Training: Transpersonal and psychodynamic therapy at CIIS; recent training in Jungian-Oriented Psychotherapy at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco.

I don’t currently offer cannabis-assisted psychotherapy in my practice due to legal and licensing considerations, but I have deeply studied both the clinical promise and ethical risks of these substances—and I care about helping clinicians navigate this terrain with clarity and care.

Let’s Work Together

I offer:

• Ongoing weekly or biweekly consultation for licensed therapists

• One-time or short-term consultation for specific clinical questions

• Case consultation and professional development for therapists exploring psychedelic therapy, integration, or harm reduction

This work is intimate, alive, and deeply relational. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

My consultation fee is $200 per 50-minute session.
