My Advocacy

My advocacy for advancing psychedelic therapies in mental health treatment is deeply personal. When my husband found healing through ibogaine treatment for addiction, I witnessed firsthand how these innovative therapies can transform lives.

When you free a parent from addiction, you create a pathway for the entire family to heal and prosper. This ripple effect of recovery is what drives my commitment to expanding access to these treatments.

I advocate for families impacted by addiction, knowing that treating one person creates healing opportunities for children, partners, and extended family members. Our family's journey from struggle to prosperity demonstrates the far-reaching benefits of effective treatment.

I'm a passionate supporter of our military veterans gaining access to these critical medications. Those who've served our country deserve innovative treatments for PTSD, depression, and substance use disorders that conventional approaches haven't adequately addressed.

Through speaking engagements, publications, and direct work with stakeholders, I strive to create pathways for responsible research and eventual approval of psychedelic therapies, ensuring they can be safely administered to those who need them most.
