About
I’m an educator and advocate for the responsible use of psychedelic medicines. By creating points of connection for psychedelic researchers, therapists and patients, my projects act as a zip-tie for humans in the proliferating field of psychedelics.
As a professional in this growing field, I recognize the need for more education, trusted resources, and access to psychedelic therapies. Rising to meet these needs in our community, I co-founded Psychedelic Support in 2018. Prior to this, I began researching MDMA in 2004 and have worked on studies of psychedelics and mental health conditions at UT Austin, UCSF, NIH, and MAPS PBC.
My Current Projects
Psychedelic Support accelerates transformation by connecting those in need with experts in psychedelic medicine.
We advance evidence-based practices for psychedelic therapy through our educational courses and training programs.
The Etheridge Foundation supports the development of transformative plant medicine and psychedelic treatments for opioid use disorder.
Project New Day exists to help people overcome addiction and actualize
mental health
through the
responsible and legal use of psychedelics.
I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience, with the intention of inspiring greater transformation, safety and integrity within the psychedelic field.

Meet Alli
Now that you’ve perused my professional side...
Hi! I also go by Alli.
I’m an ever-evolving being, soul tripping over the expansive moments of the now. I fluidly shape-shift between my human roles and continue to craft the parts of myself that bring the most joy and exuberance to the world.
I’m a dreamer, a magnet for high-vibe people and life-affirming movements, an idea factory, a mystic, upholder of values, observer-strategist, neuropharmacologist, meditator, yogi, data wizard, psychedelic science nerd, jogger of the ancient redwood forests, student of my own mind, and worshiper of planet earth.
I’m grateful you’re here and that you’ve taken some time to explore my work.
I hope to connect with you!
