Trainings, Certifications & Continued Study

I am currently in formation as a Jungian Analyst through a rigorous five-year post-graduate training program with the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association of New York. I am credentialed in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy through the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness and assisted in teaching this modality to psychotherapists, clergy and chaplains with Psychedelic Sitters School. I am an advocate for the presence of trained religious professionals in psychedelic therapy and guiding and hold advanced training in Ketamine Assisted Therapy from the Polaris Insight Center and a certification in Somatic (body-based) Trauma therapy through the Somatic Wilderness Therapy Training Institute. I began my studies in depth psychology at Union Theological Seminary in NYC and earned a Masters of Divinity with a focus in Psychology & Religion. Trained as an end-of-life and crisis chaplain, I have accompanied many through the journeys of diagnosis, illness, death, grief and loss.

I am an Ordained Unitarian Universalist Minister in good standing with the Unitarian Universalist Minister’s Association and currently serve as an affiliated community minister with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder, CO.

I believe that healing is possible, love is transformative, and that all of us - need all of us - to be free.
