SOMETHING SURFACED

Maybe it was ketamine, psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca. Maybe it was last week or six months ago.

And now you're carrying something you weren't carrying before.

It might look like:

Memories you didn't know you had Images, sensations, or fragments from childhood that surfaced without warning. You're not sure if they're real. You're not sure what to do with them. They won't stop replaying.

Grief that doesn't have a name yet Something broke open and you've been crying for days—or you can't cry at all but the weight is unbearable. You're mourning something you can't explain to anyone.

Your sense of self just shifted Everything you thought you knew about yourself, your family, your life—it's all rearranged now. You saw something true and you can't unsee it. But you also can't integrate it into ordinary life.

Shame that came roaring back Maybe queer shame. Religious shame. Body shame. The stuff you thought you'd processed years ago returned with full force and hasn't left.

You can't stop dissociating The journey ended but you don't feel like you came back. You're foggy, disconnected, watching yourself from a distance. Your body doesn't feel like yours.

You glimpsed something profound and it's slipping away The insight felt so clear, so important. Now it's fading and you're terrified you'll lose it entirely—or you'll go back to being who you were before.

You're more destabilized than before you started You went in hoping for healing and came out worse. More anxious. More depressed. More confused. And now you don't know who to talk to because most therapists don't understand.

The experience cracked something open. But opening isn't the same as healing.

You need someone who can help you make sense of what happened—without rushing you toward meaning, without pathologizing the experience, and without letting you spiral alone.

we are voyagers, discoverers of the not-known, the unrecorded; we have no map.

WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS

Integration isn't about declaring what the experience "meant." It's not spiritual bypassing dressed up as therapy. And it's not a clinician who's never sat with psychedelic material treating you like you're fragile or delusional.

What helps is someone who takes the experience seriously and knows how to work with trauma when it surfaces.

That's what I offer.

I'm a trauma therapist with specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. I work with people who've had experiences—legal or otherwise—and need help processing what came up.

If you're still destabilized: We start with grounding and stabilization. You don't need to make meaning of anything yet. First we help your nervous system feel safe enough to land.

If trauma surfaced: We process it using EMDR, Brainspotting, or Flash Technique—the same evidence-based modalities I use with all trauma clients. The psychedelic context doesn't change the clinical approach. Trauma in the body is trauma in the body.

If you're sitting with big questions: Who am I without my defenses? What does my history actually mean? How do I want to live now? This is where my existential-phenomenological training meets the material psychedelics often surface.

If you want to do more journeys: We talk honestly about whether that's actually what you need—or whether integration of what you've already seen is the real work. If you move forward, we discuss harm reduction, preparation, intention, and set/setting.

What I don't do:

  • Facilitate or attend illegal psychedelic experiences

  • Provide or help you access substances

  • Act as a ceremony guide or "trip sitter"

  • Push you toward experiences you're not ready for

WHAT I ACTUALLY DO

I'm a trauma therapist with specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration. I work with people who've had experiences—legal or otherwise—and need help processing what came up.

Integration therapy with me includes:

  • Stabilizing your nervous system if you're still activated or dissociated

  • Processing trauma that surfaced using EMDR, Brainspotting, or Flash Technique—not just talking about it

  • Making meaning at your pace, not forcing insight before you're ready

  • Working with the philosophical and existential questions that psychedelics raise

  • Addressing shame, identity material, or relational wounds that emerged

  • Harm reduction guidance if you're considering future experiences

What I don't do:

  • Facilitate or attend illegal psychedelic experiences

  • Provide or help you access substances

  • Act as a ceremony guide or "trip sitter"

  • Push you toward experiences you're not ready for

WHY TRAUMA SURVIVORS NEED SPECIALIZED INTEGRATION

Psychedelics can surface trauma. They don't resolve it.

If you're a trauma survivor, psychedelic experiences can be especially intense—and especially risky without skilled support afterward.

What happens without proper integration:

  • Painful memories surface but never get processed

  • Old shame resurfaces and you feel worse than before

  • Dissociation or emotional flooding that doesn't stop when the substance wears off

  • Profound insights that fade within weeks, leaving you wondering if any of it was real

  • Destabilization without anyone to help you restabilize

  • Re-traumatization disguised as "healing"

Psychedelics are not inherently therapeutic. What makes them therapeutic is what happens before and after—the preparation, the set, the setting, and most importantly, the integration.

The integration is where I come in.

WHAT LIFE COULD LOOK LIKE

Imagine the experience finally settling into place—not as something that happened to you, but as something you've metabolized. It's part of your story now, not a disruption you're still managing.

Imagine the insight that felt so urgent actually becoming concrete. You know what it means. You know what to do with it. And you're living differently because of it—not just remembering that you once saw something important.

Imagine trauma that surfaced getting fully processed. Not just witnessed during the journey, not just talked about afterward—actually resolved in your nervous system. The memory is still there, but the charge is gone.

Imagine the dissociation lifting. Your body feeling like yours again. The world coming back into focus.

Imagine being able to talk about what happened with someone who gets it. Who won't minimize it, spiritualize it away, or treat you like you're fragile. Just steady, grounded clinical support for an experience that deserves to be taken seriously.

Imagine the gap closing between who you were in that expanded state and who you are in daily life. Not chasing the next journey. Actually changed.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

If you're still destabilized: We start with grounding and stabilization. You don't need to make meaning of anything yet. First we help your nervous system feel safe again.

If trauma surfaced: We process it using the same evidence-based modalities I use with all trauma clients—EMDR, Brainspotting, Flash Technique. The psychedelic context doesn't change the clinical approach. Trauma in the body is trauma in the body.

If you're sitting with big questions: We explore them together. Who am I without my defenses? What does my history actually mean? How do I want to live now? This is where my existential-phenomenological training meets the material psychedelics often surface.

If you want to do more journeys: We talk honestly about harm reduction, preparation, intention-setting, and whether more experiences are actually what you need—or whether integration of what you've already seen is the real work.

We go at your pace. Some people need 2-3 sessions to land the experience. Others stay for months processing what came up. There's no protocol. Just what you actually need.

WHAT BEGINS TO SHIFT

The experience stops feeling like something you're managing and starts feeling like something you've absorbed.

The first time you realize you haven't dissociated in days. The moment you can think about what you saw without your chest tightening. The afternoon you notice you're just... here. Present. In your body. Not monitoring for the next wave.

Insights that felt urgent but vague become concrete—you know what they mean for how you want to live. Trauma that surfaced gets processed, not just witnessed. The shame that came roaring back loses its grip.

The gap between "journey self" and "everyday self" closes. You're not two people anymore.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You've had an experience—planned or unexpected, profound or terrifying—and you're carrying something you need help with.

Maybe you did ketamine therapy and the integration sessions weren't enough. Maybe you took psilocybin hoping it would help your depression and trauma came flooding up instead. Maybe you're months out from an ayahuasca ceremony and still don't know what to make of what you saw. Maybe you microdosed and something shifted that you didn't expect.

Maybe you're LGBTQ+ and queer shame surfaced—the stuff you thought you'd worked through years ago. Maybe you're a man and emotions broke through that you've never let yourself feel. Maybe religious trauma came up. Maybe you saw your family patterns with devastating clarity and don't know what to do with that knowledge.

Whatever happened, you don't have to figure it out alone.

IF SOMETHING SURFACED AND YOU NEED HELP

Whether it was last week or months ago. Whether it was beautiful or terrifying or both.

Integration starts wherever you are.

FAQ

  • Yes. Integration therapy is completely legal. I'm helping you process an experience you've already had—I'm not providing substances or facilitating illegal activity.

  • We start by stabilizing your nervous system. Many "bad trips" are actually trauma surfacing without adequate support. We go slowly, ground what feels fragmented, and work with what came up at a pace your system can handle.

  • For legal ketamine therapy through my KAP practice, absolutely—preparation is a core part of the process. For other substances, I can offer harm reduction guidance, set/setting education, and help you think through whether you're ready. I won't facilitate illegal activity, but I also won't pretend you're not going to do what you're going to do.

  • Your friends can validate the experience. They usually can't help you process trauma that surfaced, work with dissociation, or use clinical tools to integrate material that's stuck in your nervous system. Integration isn't just making meaning—it's helping your body catch up to what your mind experienced.

  • You can share as much or as little as you want. What matters is what came up and how you're doing now. I'm not here to judge your choices.

  • It varies. Some people need 2-3 sessions to stabilize and ground the experience. Others continue for months as we process deeper trauma that surfaced. We'll figure out what's right for you.
