For me, increasing access to psychedelic medicine is a matter of equity and social justice that can't be ignored. Working at Sunstone gives me the opportunity to be part of advancing this broader societal goal while simultaneously helping individuals one by one along the way.

Role

I strive to work from a position of curiosity, inclusion, and compassion, to honor all dimensions of our humanity, and to help patients deepen their self-understanding.

Inspiration

I am inspired by patients who have struggled through one ineffectual treatment after another, yet are able to access enough hope to continue to pursue healing; when they come through our doors, nurturing that glimmer of hope is a sacred duty and privilege.
