In my clinical practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals navigating mental health challenges and supporting those in the final stages of their lives. Through these experiences, I’ve witnessed the limitations of conventional medications and traditional psychotherapy in providing comprehensive and lasting healing. Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers a unique approach to transformation and healing. One of the things that appeals to me the most about this therapy is that it allows individuals to access their own inner healing intelligence and this is one of the most powerful guides for change. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can also offer profound spiritual experiences for some people and this can be deeply healing for those struggling with mental health or those approaching the end of their lives. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is a well-researched, evidence-based treatment and I feel encouraged and inspired by the deep impact that this type of treatment can have.

I am dedicated to guiding individuals on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and healing. As a practitioner, I create a patient-centered approach, adjusting therapy methods to suit each person’s preferences and needs. I draw from various modalities, such as Internal Family Systems, EMDR, somatic therapy techniques, and mindfulness-based practices. Central to my practice is a trauma-focused foundation, recognizing the profound impact trauma can have on one’s life. My goal is to help individuals access their inner healing intelligence and to help them create lasting change in their lives. It is truly an honour to be a part of this process and to support people on their path to feeling better.

With over 25 years of experience in family practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with families from birth to the end of life. While remarkable progress has been made in treating certain diseases and conditions, the challenge of addressing mental health persists. Every day, individuals take the courageous step of acknowledging their struggles with mental health, seeking support in my office.

In the realm of mental health treatment, I’ve observed that medications for depression and anxiety often provide only partial relief and come with prolonged usage requirements and various side effects. Navigating through these challenges can be a time-consuming and laborious process for patients, as they strive to find treatments offering some benefit while minimizing potential side effects.

Excitingly, I’m witnessing a growing body of evidence supporting the impact of psychedelic-assisted therapy on mental health and well-being. This holds promise not only for individuals dealing with end-of-life distress related to terminal illness but also for those who have found traditional measures for depression to be ineffective. It’s a refreshing prospect to offer something that has the potential to make a meaningful impact on mental health, something I haven’t felt in a long time.

During our time together, my approach is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient as an individual, considering both past and present circumstances that may contribute to their current situation. I bring a calm and empathic demeanor to guide individuals through the nature of a psychedelic experience, assisting them in clarifying their intentions and preparing them for the journey ahead.
