Evelyn’s Background

Evelyn studied psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy, worked as a peer counselor with at-risk youths, and earned a degree in Social Sciences from Portland State University. She feels fortunate to have learned from experienced guides, mentors, counselors, Indigenous leaders, and her mother, a classically trained therapist.

Upon the legalization of psilocybin-assisted therapy in Oregon, Evelyn became one of the first people to acquire OHA-approved training through the Changa Institute. She began working in Jamaica, then in Oregon soon after service centers began opening their doors. She is one of the most experienced facilitators in the state with the legal model of psilocybin
