Hi, I’m Evan!

For most of my adult life I’ve suffered from crippling depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, alcoholism and addiction. I sought help via years of traditional therapy and psychiatric medications, but nothing seemed to work. That is, until I discovered psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Currently, I’m happier than I ever thought was possible and am finding new reasons to be grateful every day.

I know firsthand how brutal life can be. You can feel like you’re being beat down every single day and no one can really understand what you’re going through. You try to articulate your suffering to your friends, but you don’t want to be a burden or inconvenience to them. Yet you keep standing up and trying to fight on, even though it can feel hopeless.

I get it, I’ve been there and I’ve had those moments. I can also promise that if you’re willing to put in the work, it can get better.

I have been trained at Psychedelic Coaching Institute by some of the best facilitators in the world.
