Evelyn has over 25 years of experience with psychedelics and helping people navigate their expanded consciousness. She specializes in working with addiction, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, CPTSD, PTSD, gender dysphoria, and nuerodiversity which are all things she has experienced treating in her own healing journey. She’s worked hard to overcome these experiences to build an authentic life filled with connection. Hopefully some of the knowledge she’s gained along the way can help you achieve your goals.
She has a BA in Social Sciences from Portland State and is a graduate of the first cohort of the Changa Institute. She’s completed continued education trainings in trauma treatment, mindfulness, narcissistic abuse, LGBTQIA+ affirmative care, and substance use disorders. She also has work experience in the mental health field and running ceremonies for a retreat organization in Jamaica. She continues to gain knowledge through her insatiable research, her own guides, teachers, indigenous leaders, colleagues, and ongoing plant medicine work. As one of the first licensed facilitators in Oregon, she’s also been working within this new legal system consistently since its beginning. She uses this knowledge and experience to effectively prepare you to navigate your subconscious mind.
Evelyn practices radical acceptance and provides a safe place to process emotions without judgement while creating an environment of warmth, nurture, and playfulness. Your unique and authentic self will be validated as the wonderful human you are. Most therapy models do not go far enough in treating the underlying conditioning that is generally the root cause of the majority of our mental health challenges so she provides a unique perspective that you may not hear from traditional therapists. This perspective combines mindfulness practices, eastern philosophy, and evolutionary psychology in a way that can decrease your suffering. You will come away from your sessions with a holistic plan towards healing that helps you build a more authentic life.
