BIO
Bio or Description | In my journey through life, I have experienced the profound impact of addiction and its consequences. Growing up in a family environment heavily influenced by drugs, gangs, destitution, and addiction, then serving in a theater of combat, I have developed a unique resilience that I bring to my work as a transformational and psychedelic integration coach. This personal background has fueled my passion for helping others navigate their own healing journeys, drawing from my own experiences to provide empathetic and compassionate support.
As a US Navy Corpsman deployed to Fallujah during the Iraq War, I gained extensive medical training and witnessed firsthand the psychological toll of combat. This experience, combined with my work in urgent care and cardiology offices, has given me a deep understanding of trauma and the importance of proper support for healing. My dedication to helping others heal extends to my volunteer work with over 10 years on music festival EMS teams. In 2019 I dedicated myself fully to providing professional psychedelic therapy medical oversight and protocol writing, which has continued evolving to include coaching. I have seen the transformative potential of psychedelic therapy in overcoming past traumas and promoting personal growth in the appropriate setting and with proper support.
With a strong commitment to personal growth and healing, I have dedicated myself to the practice of transformational and psychedelic integration coaching. My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore the depths of their consciousness, overcome past traumas, and unlock their fullest potential. My work is deeply rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to helping others on their journey of healing and self-discovery.
To date I have personally seen over 250 clients through various psychedelic journeys and authored “The 50 Global Criteria for Facilitation”. Through this time I have learned that true success comes with proper work and guidance before, during, and after the journey itself. I have had the privilege of working with politicians, billionaires, and captains of industry, but my true passion lies in guiding those more like myself, people of great character that have simply found themselves in a difficult place in life. I have been in the hole and I enjoy teaching others to build the stairs back out.
As I continue to expand my knowledge in addiction counseling and experimental psychology at Texas A&M University, I remain dedicated to providing compassionate care to all individuals. I am honored to serve as a guide for those seeking healing and self-discovery, drawing from my own experiences and professional expertise to support them on their path to transformation.
