Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

Health Canada has been making changes to its process for creating access to these medicines for people who are experiencing serious or life-threatening conditions. The Government of Canada, more specifically the Province of British Columbia, have also been making moves towards decriminalizing the possession and use of otherwise illegal substances and creating more potential for harm-reduction regarding the use of substances.  Both of these are a great start for making psychedelic medicine more accessible to people in need.

Psychedelic medicines are facilitators for accessing a deeper level of consciousness and can assist in connecting a person to their inner wisdom and healer. This appointment is for people who have had, or are planning to have a therapeutic experience with the use of psilocybin or MDMA. 

Talk Therapy

I borrow approaches and techniques from a few theories of psychology such as Narrative, Internal Family Systems, and Existential.  Although I am not formally trained in those specific techniques, those theories align well with my point of view about belief systems about the world and how we fit into it. I also administer a wide array of career assessments.

Ethical Practice

It is a privilege for me to provide mental health services to my clients. I abide by the Code of Ethics outlined by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, and the Code of Ethics outlined by the Psychedelic Association of Canada.
