Important Information About My Services
While I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology and extensive training in various therapeutic modalities, I want to be clear that I am not a licensed psychotherapist or medical provider. As a Relational Somatic Ketamine Counselor, I provide support, guidance, and integration services, but I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
If you have received mental health diagnoses from healthcare providers, I welcome the opportunity to work with you as part of your broader support system. I encourage all clients to maintain relationships with their licensed healthcare providers, including therapists, psychiatrists, and primary care physicians, who can provide medical oversight and mental health treatment.
My role is to:
Provide support during ketamine sessions prescribed by licensed medical professionals
Offer integration counseling and somatic awareness practices
Guide personal growth and development work
Support your exploration of expanded states of consciousness
Help you develop deeper relationships with yourself and others
My role is not to:
Diagnose mental health conditions
Provide medical advice or treatment
Prescribe or manage medications
Replace the care of licensed mental health professionals
Provide crisis intervention services
I am happy to coordinate with your existing healthcare team to ensure you receive comprehensive, integrated care that supports your overall wellbeing.
Meet Oriyah
Welcome
I’m so glad you are here!
Being human isn’t easy, is it? So much of our suffering stems from a lack of connection. Connection to Self. Connection to others. Connection to spirit and the natural world. It would be my greatest honor to have the opportunity to help you deepen and strengthen these connections along your healing journey. So much of our pain in this life can be traced back to the root cause of relational wounding from our families of origin, often leaving us later in life experiencing stuckness in unhealthy relationship patterns, isolation, loneliness, feeling misunderstood, unseen, and without a sense of purpose or belonging or simply like something is missing we we just need someone to help us find the keys to unlock our potential. The only way to heal these relational wounds is in relationship. A therapeutic relationship is a great place to lean into these edges and build a deeper relationship to yourself while staying in connection with ‘other' in service to building more healthy and thriving relationships everywhere in your life.
Let’s help you deeply remember and find your way home to:
Your Self
Your heart’s longing
Meaningful, deep and conscious relationships
Alignment with your life’s purpose and soul’s calling
Right relationship with the natural world
My Approach
Through ritual, ceremony, experiential, relational and somatic therapeutic modalities and the intentional use of Ketamine, we will co-create a safe enough space for you to open up, melt the layers of armoring, befriend the many aspects or ‘parts’ of you that have been in hiding or exile, and access your deepest questions, pains and struggles in order to help you transform them into a more juicy and fulfilled life.
Tangible change and real transformation is what I want for you. I know you are capable of letting go of patterns, habits, and survival strategies that your psyche understandably created in order to survive, yet are no longer serving you and together we can support you in creating new healthier strategies to getting your needs met and actualizing your dreams!
You may love working with me if you have ever felt ‘different’, lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or longed for something ‘more’ in this life. If you are experiencing grief, heartbreak, fear, inertia, pain, longing, or confusion about where to go next let’s make space for these feelings to be felt and moved through, together.
If you have experienced plant medicine or other psychedelic journeys and need help integrating the insights, understanding the deeper layers and bringing them into your daily life in a meaningful and palpable way, there is a lot of work we can do together. Or, if you are brand new to expanded states of consciousness - welcome! There is still a lot of wonderful work we can do together!
If you have felt a hunger to grow, and evolve and face your shadows in order to make significant breakthroughs and take action toward the life you want to live and to become the you that deep down inside, you know you truly are - let’s join forces!

My Training and Experience
I have 25 years experience working with the intentional use of psychedelics and expanded states of consciousness and have devoted my life in the service of helping others heal trauma, create lasting change and become the most fully expressed version of themselves.
I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology and extensive training in transformational coaching, Hakomi Therapy and other Mindfulness-Based Somatic healing modalities such as trauma-attuned Relational Attachment Work, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or ‘Tapping’) and Compassionate Communication. I also value and integrate the wisdom of Interpersonal Neurobiology.
I’ve trained in several approaches to psychedelic therapy and integration work and have been certified by InnerTrek in Psilocybin Facilitation.
My Commitment
When we work together, you're not just getting support - you're gaining a committed ally in your healing journey. I bring my full presence, deep curiosity, decades of experience, and deep belief in the transformative power of relationship to every session. Whether we're navigating major life transitions, grief, heartbreak, fear, or confusion, or working towards your goals and celebrating your wins we'll create space for all of it, together.
The path of healing isn't always easy, but it's infinitely worthwhile. I'm here to support you in becoming ever-more the person you know, deep down, you truly are.
If Soul Work speaks to you, you’ll find good company here. If mining your shadows for gems and turning lead into gold is something that calls to you, let’s see what alchemy is possible when we use the healing power of our relationship to help transform your wounds into your greatest gifts.
I look forward to connecting!
