Healing Every Step

I embrace a human-centered, strength based, and integrative style of therapy. My goal is to provide an empathic space where people can move towards mental, emotional and psychological balance and wholeness. I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, ancestral trauma, PTSD, creativity, relationship issues, job stress, grief and loss, and offer both long and short-term therapy.

My main clinical approach is an integration of psychodynamic, Gestalt therapy, somatic therapy, attachment theory, psycho-education, eco-psychology, indigenous psychology and relational therapy. This model supports deeply personalized work of current concerns, past history, symbolic material and the unconscious. I provide a safe and well structured container for my clients to go deep and address to their material with compassion. I find this holistic approach to be the most important to allow you to guide the healing process and reconnect once again with your vitality, health, balance and unique creative expression of self.

I am a Peruvian psychotherapist (LMFT), artist, researcher, educator, and ceremonialist, passionate about the Art of healing and the decolonization of health. I am the co-founder of Cora Center, a Licensed Psilocybin Service Center (www.coracenter.org) and a certified Psilocybin facilitator living in Portland, Oregon. I come from an Aymara heritage and a strong lineage of artists, social activists, and healers in my family.

I am trained in many different modalities, all connected to trauma recovery, restoring health, and the arts. My approach is a combination of 20 years of training in Western Healing modalities and Indigenous Ways of knowing from the Andes and Jungle in South America. Some of my training includes Somatic Experiencing (SEP), Drama Therapy (CIIS), Expressive Arts Therapy (Tamalpa Institute), the MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy Training Program (MAPS), and Ketamine for trauma recovery (Polaris Insight Center). I have also been ordained by my teachers in Ecuador and Peru, after extensive studies and preparations spanning almost two decades.

My focus is on the intersectionality of generational and ancestral trauma, plant medicine science, eco-informed therapy, somatic/nervous system reorganization, Art as healing, and Indigenous knowledge. I am also a recording musician and a singer-songwriter.

My fees are:

• $200 per 60 minutes session for individual or couples.

• $285 for 90 minutes individuals or couples sessions. 

I offer an initial free 20-minute consultation.
