Psychedelic Harm Reduction
-
Hi there, my name is Emily. I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner offering integrative mental health care for people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, stress and burnout, life transitions, or feeling stuck.
My dual certification informs both approach, allowing me to bring a broad diagnostic lens to care. My approach is grounded in the connection between the mind, body, and lived experience, and is also informed by additional training in ketamine-assisted therapy, psychedelic medicine, and yoga.
I take time to understand what is important to you, what may be getting in the way, and how to support you in moving toward what matters most.
Treatment planning is individualized and may include medication management, ketamine-assisted therapy, mindfulness, somatic and nervous system-based practices, psychedelic harm reduction, and collaboration with your broader care team.

Our first visit is an opportunity to get to know you, better understand what brings you to treatment, and begin shaping a plan for next steps. We’ll review your current concerns, history, goals, and any prior treatment experiences, while also considering the mind-body, relational, and lifestyle factors that may be influencing how you feel. Together, we’ll begin identifying what kind of support may be most helpful and whether my approach feels like a good fit.

Medication can be a valuable tool when considered within a comprehensive approach. Together, we’ll explore your options, discuss important considerations, and support you in making an informed decision.

Deprescribing is a collaborative process for reducing or discontinuing psychiatric medication when appropriate. Together, we’ll review the potential benefits, risks, timing, supports, and develop a gradual tapering plan that prioritizes safety, comfort, and ongoing monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Integrative psychiatry is a whole-person approach that understands mental health in the context of your lived experiences, biology, lifestyle, relationships, and values.
Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we explore underlying contributors that may be shaping how you feel, cope, and connect. Care is collaborative and may include medication management, nutrition and lifestyle support, nutraceuticals or herbs, mindfulness, somatic practices, and nervous system-based tools.
The goal is to create an individualized plan that supports symptom relief, somatic regulation, meaningful growth, and a fuller connection to life.

Psychedelic harm reduction is a supportive, clinically informed approach for people who are curious about or planning to use psychedelics outside of clinical treatment. Most psychedelics other than ketamine are not currently FDA-approved, though they are being studied for trauma, depression, existential distress, and personal exploration, with promising results.
With advanced training in psychedelic medicine, I stay current with the research and provide knowledgeable guidance around risks, contraindications, medication interactions, preparation, and integration to support safety, clarity, and meaning-making.
Please note: I do not facilitate or make referrals for non-FDA-approved psychedelic substances.
