Sam

"My experience with David as my guide was a gift. I felt safe and comfortable. He is thorough, yet it just feels effortless from him, which is such a reassuring energy to bring to what would otherwise feel like such a heavy experience."

Sheila Thiele

Therapist, MA Clinical Psychology

Connected Therapy

I work as a licensed therapist, and I am constantly impressed by David’s knowledge, intuition, and deep understanding of the psyche, IFS, and journey integration.

Adele

"My experience with David has been nothing short of transformational. He walked alongside me through every step of my healing journey, listening with an intuitive heart, offering support and guidance while sharing his expert knowledge of IFS and journey integration."

Amy

"If you are looking to expand your mind and open your heart, I can’t recommend David enough. The journey is mentally restorative, spiritually enriching, and profoundly effective."

Jasmyn

"It is not the traditional talk-style therapy that leaves many in a depressive cycle, as he pushes you to connect deeply with each of your emotions as a way to fully understand them and bring yourself relief."

Gabriel

"If you want to get everything possible out of your plant medicine journey, look no further than David. He is kind, supportive, and generous with his time — and extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I wouldn't want anyone else, and I plan to be a repeat client."

James

"David ensured that I was comfortable and safe and monitored me throughout my journey, which kept me at ease and allowed me to focus. I highly recommend him."

Olivia

"You can trust David to be with you every step of the way. As a woman looking to undergo this experience, it was important for me to be in safe hands. David came highly recommended for his sensitivity, empathy, and care throughout the process."

Jason

"This microdosing journey has been extraordinary. I’ve never experienced bliss like this. I look at my son and can be present, and the mundane things in life seem to have more purpose."

Saif

"For the first time in a long while, it feels like I finally have control over my emotions. David also helped me recognize parts of myself I didn’t know existed."

Kim

"David has been instrumental in helping me connect the dots in my life. He makes you feel comfortable sharing your story, and his empathy and passion mean the world to me."

Carol

"I can't thank David enough for the help and support he's provided. He created a safe, judgment-free space where I always felt comfortable. Whatever you're going through, I'm certain David can help."

You Are The Medicine

Based in Denver, Colorado, I’ve spent over a decade helping people safely explore non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Together we can:

  • Discuss safe microdosing protocols with initial and ongoing consultations.
  • Discuss how to cultivate your own medicine in one-on-one or small group sessions (where sanctioned by state and local laws)
  • Explore the transformative potential of plant medicine with personalized guidance
    • Work With Me

    I’m not a therapist or guide. I don’t ‘facilitate’ anything. Personally, I don't think anyone does.

    You're the guide, you're the healer. You can trust yourself.

    Through education, preparation and intention setting, I help clients meet their own inner healer and clarify what they want to bring into their lives.

    Think of me as a park ranger — someone who knows the trails and terrain, who helps you orient where you are, and reconnect with your own intuitive compass. On your terms. At your pace.

"Within each of us, there once was a fire. For some of us, it seems as if there are only ashes now. But when we dig in the ashes we find one ember. The only thing that matters is that ember."
