Integration allows altered states to become lasting altered traits

Introduction

Profound experiences can open new perspectives, emotional insight, and deep personal shifts. Yet the real work often begins afterward — in the process of integration.

Integration therapy provides a grounded space to explore, understand, and embody what has emerged during transformative or expanded-state experiences. Rather than focusing only on insight, integration supports meaningful and sustainable change within daily life.

My approach combines trauma-informed psychotherapy, nervous system awareness, and somatic integration to help clients translate powerful experiences into lasting growth.

Integration-focused therapy supports meaningful transformation by helping insight become embodied and sustainable.

What Is Integration Therapy?

Integration therapy focuses on helping individuals:

  • Make meaning from profound or expanded-state experiences

  • Process emotional or psychological material that arises

  • Stabilize and regulate the nervous system after intense experiences

  • Translate insight into practical and embodied change

  • Navigate spiritual or existential shifts with psychological grounding.

Integration is not about recreating or directing experiences — it is about supporting the unfolding process that follows.

How integration therapy differs from psychedelic therapy

  • Integration focuses on evidence-informed psychotherapeutic integration process

  • No administration of substances

  • Focus on psychological meaning-making

  • Applicable to past experiences

Areas of Support

I work with clients seeking integration related to:

  • Psychedelic experiences (past or ongoing integration)

  • Preparation and integration for legal ketamine-assisted therapy

  • Spiritual emergence or expanded states of awareness

  • Deep emotional breakthroughs or life transitions

  • Somatic integration following significant personal growth.

I have completed advanced training through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI) and have been certified as a psychedelic-assisted therapy provider since 2023. This training informs my integration-focused approach while maintaining a trauma-informed and ethically grounded therapeutic framework.

Integration Therapy

  • My Approach

    My work is grounded in trauma-informed psychotherapy and a nervous-system oriented understanding of healing. Rather than focusing solely on cognitive insight, therapy integrates:

    • Somatic awareness and embodied processing
    • Nervous system regulation and safety
    • Relational attunement
    • Integration-focused exploration.

    This approach helps clients move beyond intellectual understanding toward lived, embodied transformation.

  • Who this works for

    This work tends to resonate with:

    • Insight-oriented individuals
    • High-functioning professionals seeking deeper change
    • Clients with prior therapy experience wanting greater depth
    • Individuals who have had or are considering legal expanded-state experiences
    • Those committed to ongoing self-awareness and personal growth

Medically Supported Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

In addition to integration-oriented psychotherapy, I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in collaboration with Journey Clinical.

Journey Clinical serves as the medical provider and is responsible for:

• Comprehensive medical evaluation
• Determination of treatment eligibility
• Development of dosing and treatment protocols
• Prescribing and ongoing medical supervision

As the treating psychotherapist, I provide preparation sessions, therapeutic support during dosing sessions, and integration work within this collaborative model.

Ketamine is prescribed and managed exclusively by Journey Clinical’s medical team.

Important Note

My role is to offer psychotherapy and integration support for individuals preparing for or integrating transformative experiences within a safe, ethical, and trauma-informed framework.
