I offer professionally facilitated psilocybin journeys in Bend, Oregon, including individual experiences for adults and women. Each offering is grounded in preparation, emotional safety, and thoughtful integration — because meaningful psychedelic work begins well before the medicine day and continues long after it ends. My approach combines licensed psilocybin facilitation with over 25 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in attachment, trauma, and OCD treatment. Since becoming a licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon in 2023, I have supported clients seeking compassionate, ethically grounded, and deeply informed psychedelic care.
The people and place behind your experience.
I believe that everyone wants relief from suffering but doesn’t always know the path to get there. Our work is a partnership, not one-directional. I tend to have a direct style that often uses humor and realness to normalize the pain of being human. In addition to individual psilocybin facilitation, I am also offering group sessions of 4-6 people with a fellow facilitator and therapist in Bend, OR.

As one of the first legal psilocybin centers in the nation, we’re excited to invite you into an environment of infinite personal growth. At Drop Thesis, we’ve witnessed how legal psilocybin journeys can nurture profound transformation. Beyond symptom relief, these experiences invite deeper connection—to self, to others, and to the natural world. Supported by research and guided with care, our approach honors psilocybin as a catalyst for healing, growth, and renewed perspective across every layer of life.
