Exceptional Experiences

Not all meaningful experiences have names in the DSM. After three decades of clinical practice, I offer a rare combination: rigorous psychological training and a genuinely open, curious stance toward exceptional, anomalous, and spiritually significant experiences. You deserve a therapist who won’t pathologize what may be among the most important events of your life.

Exceptional human experiences

Supportive integration for near-death experiences, mystical states, extraordinary perception, and other profound anomalous events that are difficult to process or discuss.

Transpersonal psychology

Therapy that honors death, dying & grief processes, spiritual, transcendent, and consciousness-expanding dimensions of human experience within an evidence-informed clinical framework.

Parapsychology-informed support

A non-judgmental space for those experiencing or troubled by psi-related phenomena — telepathy, precognition, veridical dreams — and seeking to understand their meaning.

Paranormal & emergent phenomena

Grounded support for individuals navigating encounters, entity contact, hauntings, or unexplained events that feel disruptive, isolating, or difficult to integrate.

Spiritual emergency / crisis

Supporting those in acute spiritual emergence or overwhelming awakening — with clinical safety and experiential respect.

UAP / contact experiences

Compassionate support for individuals who have had UAP sightings, contact experiences, or encounters that carry psychological and existential weight, and ontological shock.

Children, Families & Past-Life Experiences

Supporting children troubled by past-life recall & their families

Some children spontaneously describe memories, people, or places from lives they could not have lived — with a specificity and emotional weight that is difficult to dismiss. I offer specialized, child-centered support that honors these experiences without pathologizing them, alongside compassionate guidance for the families navigating them.

FOR CHILDREN

Relationship play therapy

Drawing on the principles of relationship-based play therapy, I provide a safe, expressive space for children to process past-life material at their own pace — through play, story, art, and imagination. The work is non-directive, developmentally attuned, and designed to reduce distress without suppressing or amplifying the child’s experience.

FOR PARENTS & FAMILIES

Compassionate parent consultations

Many parents feel confused, frightened, or uncertain how to respond when a child speaks of another life. I offer dedicated parent consultation sessions that provide education on the research literature, practical guidance on how to respond, and emotional support for the family system — without requiring any particular belief about what the experiences mean.

More about this work

Families

What may bring a family here

A child describing a previous family, name, or home. Recurring nightmares or fears unrelated to the child’s current life. Strong emotional reactions to certain places or time periods. Unusual knowledge the child cannot explain.

Clinical approach

The therapeutic approach

Grounded in the research traditions of Ian Stevenson and Jim Matlock, I apply a child-led, trauma-sensitive framework. The goal is emotional resolution and well-being — not proving or disproving what the child recalls.

Who this serves

Who this is for

Children ages 2–8 who spontaneously report past-life memories, and their parents or caregivers. Siblings and extended family members are welcome in consultation. No prior belief in reincarnation is required.

A note on approach

This work follows ethical child therapy standards throughout. Parents are full partners in the process. I do not encourage, probe for, or elicit past-life material — I support children who bring it forward themselves, and help families respond with calm, informed care.

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

Clinically informed support across the full psychedelic journey

Whether you are preparing for a legal or sanctioned experience, processing a past journey, or navigating its unexpected aftermath, I offer structured, evidence-informed psychological support grounded in 30 years of clinical practice and deep familiarity with consciousness research.

The three phases of support

Before

Preparation

Psychological readiness assessment, intention-setting, trauma-informed screening, and building the inner resources needed to navigate difficult material that may arise.

After

Integration

Helping you make meaning of what emerged — converting peak experiences, difficult encounters, and perceptual shifts into lasting, embodied psychological change.

Additional areas of psychedelic support

Difficult experience support

Compassionate, clinically grounded care for challenging or traumatic psychedelic experiences — including spiritual emergency, ego dissolution, or persisting perceptual changes.

Existential & meaning-making work

Supporting the integration of insights about death, identity, interconnectedness, and purpose that frequently arise — and that conventional therapy rarely has frameworks for.

Eyebrow placeholder

Ongoing integration support

Long-term relational work to help anchor insights into daily life, relationships, values, and vocational direction — going far beyond a single debrief session.

A note on legal context

This practice does not provide, facilitate, or refer to illegal substance use. Preparation and integration services support clients working within legal frameworks — including licensed ketamine clinics, FDA-approved clinical trials, and international or state-legal retreats. All services are provided as stand-alone psychological support.

Common Questions

Do I need to believe in the paranormal to work with you?

Not at all. I work with your experience as it is — whether you’re certain something happened, deeply uncertain, or somewhere in between. My role is to support you, not to evaluate or validate metaphysical claims.


Will you pathologize my experience?

Never. Many exceptional experiences are misunderstood or mislabeled as symptoms. I’m trained to distinguish between experiences that require clinical attention and those that are genuinely transformative — and to honor both.


How is this different from conventional therapy?

I bring 30 years of clinical rigor alongside an explicitly open, non-reductive framework. You’ll find the same evidence-based care, with the additional benefit of a therapist who is genuinely knowledgeable about exceptional experience research.


Can you help me if my psychedelic experience was years ago?

Yes. Integration work has no expiration date. Many people carry unprocessed experiences — positive or difficult — for years before finding a clinician who can meet them with the right framework. It is never too late to make meaning of what happened.


What if I’ve been dismissed by other clinicians?

Unfortunately, that’s common. Many people with anomalous experiences are met with skepticism or misdiagnosis. This practice is specifically designed to be a different kind of space — one where what happened to you is taken seriously.
