Healing happens through presence and relationship. Together, we meet what arises emotions, memories, or patterns with curiosity and compassion. Using cannabis as a therapeutic ally, we invite the body and psyche into harmony, allowing real transformation to unfold from within.

How do I know if Cannabis-assisted Psychotherapy is right for me?

If you’ve been in talk therapy, meditation, or personal growth work and still sense something deeper that hasn’t fully resolved, this approach may be right for you. Cannabis-assisted psychotherapy can help when you’re ready to move beyond insight and into the body—where stored stress, emotion, and trauma live.

It’s especially supportive for people who:

  • Feel stuck in repeating emotional patterns or old narratives

  • Sense tension, anxiety, or disconnection in the body

  • Are seeking deeper self-understanding, regulation, or peace

  • Are open to working experientially and somatically, with cannabis as a therapeutic ally

You don’t need prior psychedelic experience—just curiosity and a willingness to explore at your own pace.

What can I expect from the first session?

What can I expect from the first session?

Your first session is a preparation and practice run—a chance to experience the rhythm of this work before introducing cannabis. Together, we’ll begin to slow the pace, build safety, and attune to the natural intelligence of your body.

You’ll learn how to stay present with sensation, emotion, and energy as they arise—without analysis or effort. This embodied awareness forms the foundation for all future sessions, helping your nervous system recognize that it’s safe to release and reorganize.

By the end of this first meeting, you’ll have a felt sense of how the process works and will also experience it.

How long are each session?

How long are each session?

The first session is about 60 to 90 minutes, giving us time to connect, build safety, and introduce the foundational practices of this work.

All subsequent sessions are two hours, allowing space for the body to open, process, and integrate at its natural pace without feeling rushed.

Do you offer both online and in-person sessions?

Do you offer both online and in-person sessions?

Yes. In-person sessions and secure online sessions are both available—each designed to meet you where you are and support the same depth of healing and connection.

How often should I come to therapy?

How often should I come to therapy?

Most people begin with one session per week, creating a steady rhythm that allows the nervous system to build safety and momentum. In some cases—especially during periods of active release or deeper work—meeting twice per week can be beneficial.

On average, six to nine sessions are needed to reset the nervous system and complete a full therapeutic cycle. After that, occasional maintenance sessions can help sustain regulation and integration over time.

Is everything I share kept private?

Is everything I share kept private?

Yes. Your sessions are completely confidential, except in very rare cases related to safety. Your privacy is always a priority.

What if I don’t know what to talk about?

What if I don’t know what to talk about?

That’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes just showing up is the most important first step — and I will guide you from there.

Progress doesn’t always feel like progress. Sometimes it’s showing up. Sometimes it’s pausing. But each moment of awareness becomes part of the path forward — and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Is cannabis-assisted psychotherapy legal?

Is cannabis-assisted psychotherapy legal?

Yes. Cannabis-assisted psychotherapy is legal in states where recreational cannabis use has been approved. I offer sessions to clients in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and Alaska—all within the Pacific Time Zone where recreational cannabis is legal.

Remote sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, allowing you to receive this transformative care from the comfort of your own space.
