Have you had a profound psychedelic experience that cracked you open… but now you’re unsure what to do with everything that came up?
Psychedelics—especially ketamine (KAP), can be powerful catalysts for healing. They can crack open the places you’ve buried, loosen rigid mental patterns, and create space for new connections, new awareness, and deep emotional release. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or ADHD, psychedelics can help you break free from the loops that keep you stuck. They bring to the surface what’s been hidden: the pain, the grief, the unmet needs, and the unhelpful patterns that have been running the show.
​​
But here’s the thing: psychedelics are not a magic fix. They do the heavy lifting of bringing it all to light, but integration is where the real transformation happens. With the right support, both in preparing for your journey and integrating what emerges—these powerful experiences can help you reconnect to your most authentic self. The version of you that’s grounded, alive, and free.
​
Psychedelics can soften the walls you’ve built, help you feel your heart again, and open the door to real self-love, maybe for the first time in a long time.
​
And here’s the beautiful truth: You’re becoming. You’re remembering. You’re healing. You don’t have to have it all figured out—you just need someone to walk with you as you find your way forward.
Disclaimer: At this time, ketamine is the only legally available form of psychedelic-assisted therapy in California known as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy(KAP). However, if you’ve recently participated in a ceremony involving ayahuasca, psilocybin, or another psychedelic—whether outside California or in a legal setting—I offer support with both preparation and integration to help you make meaning of your experience
​
Please note that Heart Space Psychotherapy does not provide, condone, or promote the use of illegal substances or participation in any unlawful activity.​​

My role is to support you in safely and ethically preparing for your journey and integrating the insights and shifts that arise, so you can embody the healing, growth, and transformation that’s possible.
Integration is where the healing takes root
Whether you’ve worked with ketamine, ayahuasca, psilocybin, or another psychedelic medicine, the insights alone aren’t enough. You have to know what to do with them—how to bring them into your day-to-day life. That’s where Psychedelic Integration Therapy comes in.
​
The beauty of this work is that it’s not just about understanding what happened during your journey—it’s about becoming who you’re meant to be. It’s about anchoring the wisdom, the peace, the love you’ve glimpsed into your body, your choices, your life.
With the right support, you can integrate your experience in a way that cultivates growth, reconnects you to your core, and guides you toward deeper love and compassion for yourself. Integration isn’t just about making sense of what came up—it’s about creating lasting change that brings you closer to who you truly are and what you’re meant to become.

I am here to walk along side you. To hold a sacred, safe, and supportive space for your process to unfold.
Supporting Your Psychedelic Journey: Preparation & Integration
​​Psychedelic work is sacred—and deeply personal. I know this not just professionally, but personally. These medicines have shaped my own healing journey in profound ways. That’s why I’m so passionate about holding space for others to do the same.​ While my clinical work has focused primarily on Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy over the past three years, I also support those who have engaged with ayahuasca, psilocybin, or other plant medicines in ceremonial or therapeutic settings.​
Preparation is key to the integration process.
Going into your psychedelic journey with intention, awareness, and clarity sets the stage for deep healing. You're not just preparing for a powerful experience—you’re creating the conditions for lasting transformation.
Preparation helps you clear emotional and mental space, build the right mindset, and align with your intentions so that you can fully receive what the journey has to offer—and integrate its wisdom in a way that sticks.
​
Together, we’ll make sure you feel grounded and ready—equipped with the tools to process what comes up and bring it into your everyday life in a meaningful way.​
​
Whether you’re preparing for a journey or integrating the wisdom from one already experienced, our work will center on helping you feel grounded, empowered, and connected to your heart and your path forward.

Psychedelic FAQ’s
How can Psychedelics support healing and well-being? Psychedelics have been increasingly recognized as powerful tools for healing mental health challenges and fostering overall well-being. These substances, when used intentionally and in a supportive therapeutic setting, can unlock new levels of self-awareness and emotional insight. They work by promoting neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new connections, which can help reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Through their unique effects, psychedelics can help individuals access suppressed emotions and memories, opening a pathway to process and release past trauma. Many people describe gaining profound insights into themselves, their relationships, and their place in the world, often resulting in a sense of clarity and purpose. Beyond addressing specific mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and addiction, psychedelic therapy has the potential to enhance overall well-being by fostering feelings of connection, self-compassion, and inner peace. When paired with skilled integration therapy, these experiences can lead to lasting transformation, helping you align with your authentic self and live a more fulfilling life.
Are psychedelics safe? Psychedelics can be powerful tools for healing and self-discovery when approached with intention, in the right setting, and with proper support. However, they are not without risks. These substances can bring up intense emotions, memories, and insights, and may be destabilizing without adequate preparation and integration. Ketamine is currently the only legally available psychedelic for therapeutic use in California, and research shows it can be safe and effective when administered in a clinical setting under medical supervision. Other substances, like psilocybin and ayahuasca, are not currently legal in most settings in the U.S. Heart Space Psychotherapy does not provide or promote the use of illegal substances.
