Sadie completed her master’s in social work and certification in trauma informed care in 2006 from Denver University. Since then, she has worked in a variety of settings, including a residential horse ranch for teens, a private hospital, and two Minnesota state prisons. Her experience and training as a therapist draw upon mindfulness, motivational interviewing, internal family systems and hypnotherapy.

In 2020, Sadie became certified as a hypnotherapist by the National Guild of Hypnosis. Working alongside clients in altered states of consciousness led to more interest and personal exploration in the field of psychedelics. Sadie has journeyed with a variety of plant medicines, including couples work with ayahuasca. Sadie's life; professionally, personally, and spiritually has improved through work with psychedelics and hypnosis.

Sadie believes that when a person can bypass some part of their conscious mind through altered states, such as with psilocybin, it can allow greater access to subconscious memories, emotions, and experiences.

Sadie's presence in the psychedelic space has been described by our guests as calming and nurturing. She has a deep regard for the trust that is built and is always fostering a safe place for guests to do very meaningful work. Sadie's favorite part of her clinical work has always been group therapy, so she brings a great deal of experience to the group integration process here at Myco.

Sadie is the mother to two teens and is married to her husband Dan, who has a private psychiatric practice in their hometown of Northfield, Minnesota. As a family, they enjoy traveling, theater, live music, sports, and good food.
