Staff Therapist

Master of Health Science from Johns Hopkins University, Master of Science from Loyola University Maryland, Bachelor of Arts from Pennsylvania State University

I bring over 10 years of experience in academic research across the fields of counseling psychology, social psychology, clinical mental health counseling, and psychiatry. My clinical background includes work as a psychotherapist in both private practice and nonprofit settings. Most recently, I served as a Psychiatric Therapist at the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins University.

I'm committed to helping Sunstone ensure that safe, effective psychedelic-assisted therapy is not only transformative, but truly accessible to those navigating complex mental health challenges.

Role

I provide integrative care based in psychotherapy, academic research, and clinical practice, supporting participants through meaningful psychedelic experiences.

Inspiration

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to meet the full breadth of human experience alongside my participants. To hold space in this work is to truly live—to embrace life in its wholeness.
