I wear many hats in my position with HRCSD, a grassroots harm reduction organization founded by Tara Beusig-Stamos: outreach, supply delivery, community trainings, organizational trainings, administration.

I founded the 501(c)3 non-profit Queer Psychedelic Society to increase visibility and advocacy for 2SLGBTQ folks in the broader psychedelic community, and to create safe, queer-led, peer support circles and events for the queer community to safely learn about and process psychedelic experiences. We are a team of 4 with events in both Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as virtual support circles. We aim to provide harm reduction education and support from a queer perspective, so that the 2SLGBTQIA+ community can thrive and (more safely) explore psychedelics for healing and joy.

I am a trained and certified substance use counselor, with deep experience focusing on psychedelic preparation and integration. I specialize with clients wishing to integrate intentional therapeutic and spiritual use of entheogen as a part of their program of recovery. I specialize in a harm reduction approach and do not use a 12-step framework. I am experienced in a variety of modalities, to include motivational interviewing, somatic psychology, compassionate inquiry, and indigenous frameworks.
