How are my containers different?

Real, unfiltered guidance is what I offer—a judgment-free space where authenticity is celebrated. My sessions offer something special. Blending my training in psychotherapy, meditation, yoga, spirituality, and holistic life mentorship, we create a powerful space for growth and healing that’s really about you and your journey.

I’m all about setting a high standard of care for my clients. It’s important to me to not just talk about change but to live it, showing the real power of what we can achieve together.

Not to brag but I bring a level of dedication, consistency, and energy to our one-on-one sessions that’s hard to match. It’s personalized support that really gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you need.

We dive deep in our work, tailoring each session to fit exactly what you need. It’s a level of personal attention you just can’t get in group settings.

But what we’re doing is more than just sharing tips and techniques; it’s about a journey of empowerment. Throughout our time together, you’ll not only learn valuable life skills and tools but also experience real growth and support. I’m here as more than a mentor or therapist; I’m a solid supporter and partner in your path to discovering a deeper and more authentic you.

Unfiltered Therapy:

Welcome to a Space Where Therapy is Tailored to the Distinct, Multidimensional You.

Choose a heartfelt journey of self-discovery with Unfiltered Therapy, where psychotherapy meets life’s non-linear path.

We’ll tackle mental and emotional roadblocks head-on combining traditional talk therapy with an emphasis on somatic (body-based) approaches. My support is ideal for young adults and adults, and I bring a warm, empathic, and trauma-informed methodology. We can address challenges from people-pleasing, ADHD, relationship dynamics and anxiety, to aligning personal values and lifestyle with career or educational pursuits. This is a space that offers a nurturing environment to promote growth, understanding, and self-development.

This online psychotherapy service is provided under clinical supervision within a group practice and available to New Jersey residents.

Psychedelic Integration:

Beyond the Trip

Amplify and transform altered experiences into profound healing. Choose the path of psychedelic support and integration.

Discover the potent wisdom of psychedelic integration, rooted in ancient traditions and adapted for modern healing. We honor the rich, worldwide tapestry of indigenous practices and traditions surrounding alternative states of consciousness, and provide a safe haven for exploration and growth. Through trauma-informed practices, you are guided to harness the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, addressing issues ranging from trauma to depression to addiction with reverence and care.

My approach emphasizes a non-judgmental space for preparation, integration, self-care and autonomous decision making. Despite legal restrictions, acknowledging the inherent power of these substances, I stand by individuals’ autonomy in their choices. In line with this, I offer Psychedelic Preparation and Integration therapy both in-person and online, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to navigate their psychedelic experiences. This therapy encompasses trauma informed education, somatic tools, safety, intention setting, self-care practices, exploration of insights, and support in processing challenging material that may arise during journeys.

— Choose between 4, 6 and 8 sessions as a bundle at $175 per single session

— Each session is 75-90 minutes

— The initial portion will focus on preparation, the latter on integration.

— To be very clear, I do not at any point or for any reason accompany individuals during their psychedelic experiences, nor do I procure any substances. Our therapeutic sessions do not involve the consumption of psychoactive, plant medicine, or illicit substances. Rather, my emphasis lies in providing support both before and after journeys to facilitate lasting, meaningful transformation.
