Psilocybin can be a powerful tool for personal change, but the experience is unpredictable — and without adequate preparation and support, it can be overwhelming or even harmful.

Working with a licensed clinical facilitator helps you prepare for what may arise, navigate the experience safely, and make lasting meaning from it afterward.

I work with adults navigating major life transitions — empty nests, retirement, career shifts, aging, and loss. Many of my clients have little or no experience with psychedelics and are looking for a safe, supported, evidence-based introduction to this work. Whether you’re questioning your sense of purpose, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling stuck, psilocybin facilitation can help you find clarity and move forward with intention.

Who I Work With

What a Course of Treatment Includes

Each course of psilocybin facilitation includes five sessions:

•       Two preparation sessions (telehealth available) to set intentions, build internal resources, and address any concerns.

•       One medicine administration session at Numia Healing Center in Denver — a full day in a licensed, supervised setting.

•       Two integration sessions (telehealth available) to process what emerged and translate insight into lasting change.

I completed my facilitator training through Fluence and receive ongoing consultation at Numia Healing Center. I currently serve as director of Fluence Training’s natural medicine program in Colorado. I hold active clinical licenses in Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, California, and Virginia. I provide natural medicine services exclusively within Colorado’s regulated program.

Psilocybin, the active compound in certain mushrooms, works on multiple levels. Physiologically, it promotes neuroplasticity — increasing connectivity between brain regions that don’t typically communicate, allowing the brain to form new patterns and break free from rigid loops associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma. Research suggests psilocybin temporarily quiets the default mode network, the part of the brain responsible for our sense of self, rumination, and repetitive thinking.

The experiential component is equally significant. At therapeutic doses, psilocybin can shift perception in ways that allow you to see yourself, your relationships, and your life from a fundamentally different vantage point. Psychological defenses soften, and the mind often surfaces what most needs attention — through imagery, emotion, memory, or direct insight.

This combination of biological and experiential change is what makes psilocybin-assisted therapy particularly promising. Difficult material can emerge and be processed without the overwhelm that often accompanies trauma work in traditional talk therapy, while the neuroplasticity window that follows a session creates an opportunity to establish new ways of thinking and being. Preparation and integration sessions are essential to making the most of this window.

How Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Works

Psilocybin is not a cure on its own — it’s a tool that can facilitate and accelerate meaningful psychological change. Research consistently shows that combining psychedelic medicine with skilled therapeutic support produces better outcomes than either alone. The medicine opens a door; the work of preparation and integration is what makes the change last.

Some approaches to psychedelic therapy focus primarily on the pharmacological effects. But this overlooks one of the most valuable aspects of psilocybin: the window of heightened neuroplasticity it creates. Working with a clinical facilitator means having someone trained to help you make use of that window — not just during the session itself, but in the preparation that sets your intention and the integration that translates the experience into your daily life.

Not all facilitators in Colorado are required to have a clinical background. I am a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in counselor education, advanced training in psychedelic therapy, and years of clinical experience. This means I bring therapeutic depth to every stage of the process — not just presence during the session.

Why work with a clinical facilitator?

Psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under federal law, but Colorado voters passed Proposition 122 in November 2022, creating a regulated framework for the therapeutic use of natural medicines including psilocybin. The state licenses facilitators, healing centers, and the cultivation and testing of psilocybin products.

This is not recreational legalization. Colorado’s program is structured around supervised, therapeutic use. Sessions take place at licensed healing centers with trained, state-licensed facilitators. There are no dispensaries and no take-home products. Every step — from screening to preparation to administration to integration — is designed to prioritize safety and therapeutic benefit.

 FAQs

  • Schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for, whether psilocybin facilitation is a good fit, and what the process looks like.

  • A full course of treatment — including two preparation sessions, a full-day medicine administration session at a licensed healing center, and two integration sessions — starts at $3,500. The cost of the medicine is paid separately to the healing center (typically around $200).

  • I do not take insurance or offer out-of-network benefits for clinical facilitation services. Integration services can be submitted as out-of-network treatment if you choose to work with me beyond the scope of natural medicine facilitation.

  • The standard protocol includes five sessions: two preparation sessions (telehealth available), one in-person administration session in Denver, and two integration sessions (telehealth available).
