I am new to the psychedelic world but read Michael Pollan's book "How to Change Your Mind" several years ago. I took a guided psilocybin trip Jan. 3, 2022, and experienced intense joy and a sense of remembering myself. I have attended weekly meetings in the addiction recovery space for a number of years as an advocate and have an adult son with substance use disorder and other mental health diagnoses.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join a space to help others share their experiences as a peer with active listening and empathy. I previously worked as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and I am currently in a transformative phase of my life where I am seeking more opportunities to be of intentional service to others.
