A prayer found me during a psychedelic training retreat.
Four simple phrases that opened my heart and haven’t left since:

I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.

In a world of disconnection, this prayer is a way back to ourselves and each other.

🌿 One opening available for Kɘtamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
My approach is with low-and-slow oral medication dosing, paired with psychotherapy and heart-centered care, to help you process and resolve emotional, existential, and relational struggles.

This isn’t a quick fix or a miracle cue—it’s a supported, collaborative, deep journey between you, me as your therapist, your prescriber, and the medicine.

If you’ve been curious about this kind of work, let’s talk. I’m here to answer any questions and see if it feels like a good fit. FYI: Medicine sessions are usually on Saturday afternoons and insurance can cover most of the cost.

🌿It’s an honor to learn from this medicine work, to be supported by wise mentors and colleagues, and to support others in this community.

Take 5 minutes today to ask yourself: What invisible award am I chasing? When did I start? Is it actually serving me? And what am I afraid will happen if I let it go? This kind of reflection can be quietly life-changing.

great post! Thank you.

It was an honor to speak at the Psi Chi Honors Ceremony at my alma mater, Eastern Connecticut State University — invited by my undergrad mentor, Dr. Alita Cousins.

Returning to the campus where I first sprouted as a therapist was powerful. I shared some words with the next generation of psych geeks about following your sparks, combining your intuition and science, and staying rooted in truth, ethics, and human connection.

In this clip, Im sharing my first moments when I realized I had a thing for psychology. It was a fun story to share.

It’s a beautiful thing to watch new minds in psychology come to life.

Low-dose ketamine therapy isn’t a lesser option — it’s a wise, intentional path to deep healing.
At Activate Counseling Services, I start with gentle, low-dose sessions — not because I’m holding back, but because I’m honoring your pace.

✨ This approach allows you to:
Stay connected and grounded
Process emotions in real time
Build trust in the medicine and the therapeutic relationship
Heal without overwhelming your system
And when the time is right? We can move toward moderate doses together.

Healing doesn’t have to be extreme to be transformative. Sometimes, it’s the gentlest shifts that lead to the biggest changes.

Dear Fellow Humans, When people first hear “ketamine therapy,” it’s not uncommon for their mind to jump to something big: A dramatic, otherworldly, psychedelic experience. A full journey far away from your everyday awareness.But that’s not always what healing looks like. At least, not here ....
