Role

I am a therapist who brings her whole heart to the work. I center on a social justice orientation and systemic approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy. I believe authentic relationships can be good medicine, that intergenerational cycles of trauma can be healed, and that safety can be cultivated in the body. As a Latina and native Spanish speaker, I have specialized in working with undocumented Spanish-speaking youth and adults and mixed-status families. I have worked in private practice with primarily LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients who have experienced childhood trauma. I am certified in TF-CBT, EMDR, and PriCARE and have completed trainings in SE, MI, Hakomi, ABFT, and IFS. In the realm of psychedelic healing, I am a MAPS-certified MDMA-AT therapist and have completed Polaris Insight Center's ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) training. I am also certified in Cybin's EMBARK model of PAT through working as a study therapist on their Phase 1B/2A trial of psilocybin for MDD. I also work as a trainer and mentor for Fluence. I aspire to anti-racist and culturally curious practices and am committed to psychedelic equity and access. When I am not supporting whole-person healing for all through psychedelic medicine, I care for 100+ houseplants, read queer speculative fiction, and play drums in Batalá Philly, an Afro-Brazilian samba-reggae performance group.
