My Story

My journey with psychedelics began at 19, during a period of depression. I stumbled across an article about the potential mental health benefits of psychedelics and, after a lot of skepticism and research, decided to try mushrooms for the first time. That experience changed my life — not by solving all my problems or suddenly curing my depression, but by putting me on a path toward greater healing that I haven't looked back from since.

While studying psychology at Johns Hopkins, I worked at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research, where I witnessed firsthand how psychedelics could be used safely and intentionally in clinical settings. What stood out most was that these experiences weren't only for people who were struggling with mental health disorders like depression, addiction, anxiety, etc. — they could also help healthy, motivated people live with more clarity, purpose, and connection. I spent years reading research and books to figure out how to incorporate psychedelics into my own life, and eventually started an informal trip-sitting practice among my friends, bringing the protocols I learned in the lab into real-world settings. My goal was simple: help people see that psychedelics could be so much more than recreational.

After graduating, I worked briefly at two psychedelic medicine startups. Those experiences were valuable, but I quickly realized the corporate path wasn't for me. I'd already been informally coaching people through microdosing and macrodosing for years, and in Fall 2025 I decided to pursue it full-time — which is how Middle Path Integration came to be. My goal is to help people heal and grow using psychedelics in a way that's intentional, grounded, and accessible.

Philosophy

I think psychedelics are far more than just treatments for mental health—they’re tools for clarity, self-discovery, purpose, and deeper spiritual alignment for normal, everyday people who want more out of life. My goal with Middle Path Integration is to help people use psychedelics the way they were meant to be used: intentionally, skillfully, and as part of a broader wellness routine the same way we think about exercise, meditation, and diet. I imagine a world where personal psychedelic use is normal, accessible, and understood— where people don’t need a prescription or an expensive retreat to access the benefits. Just education, structure, and support. Ultimately, I want to help build a community of grounded, curious, growth-oriented people who integrate these experiences into their lives in a way that actually creates long-term change.

Grounded Spirituality

Where science and spirit meet. We honor intuition and transcendence while staying rooted in evidence, psychology, and real-world integration.

Inner Healing Intelligence

Your system already knows how to heal. My role is to help you slow down, listen inward, and trust the wisdom that naturally arises within.

Middle Path

Lasting transformation happens between the extremes—not in force or avoidance. We follow a balanced path that welcomes depth while staying steady, centered, and intentional.

Integration Over Intensity

Growth isn’t about chasing peak states. It’s about turning insight into embodied habits, relationships, and choices that actually change your life.

Autonomy & Agency

You lead the process. Your values, your pace, your truth. I’m here to support—not direct—your unfolding.

Safety as Foundation

Psychological, emotional, and practical safety shape every step of the work. True exploration needs a grounded, stable container.

Values

Middle Path Vision

Middle Path Integration was founded in Fall of 2025. Right now, my focus is on 1:1 programs for individuals interested in microdosing and macrodosing. My next goal will be launching group microdosing programs based in NYC/ Long Island. Eventually, I want to buy a piece of land in upstate New York and turn it into a psychedelic retreat center. One step at a time though…

Disclaimer

Middle Path Integration does not provide therapy, counseling, or any form of licensed mental health treatment. Psychedelic coaching and guiding are not regulated professions and do not legally require formal certification.

That said, I bring a strong foundation to this work through my experience at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research, my academic background in psychology, and years of personal and peer guidance work. I’ve spent years training in various meditation traditions and studying integration models, mindfulness, and somatic awareness techniques to better support others in navigating their own growth.

This work draws on both scientific understanding and lived experience—with the goal of creating grounded, intentional spaces where insight leads to real transformation.
