A Mental Health Coach with a Psychedelic Lens
My Approach: Guided by Integrity
My work is guided by values that shape every session and interaction in my mental health coaching and psychedelic integration practice.
Safety & Trust
I create a space where you’ll be met without judgment, grounded in safety and trust. This foundation is where healing and transformation take root.
Embodied Awareness
The body holds wisdom the mind alone cannot access. My work emphasizes the mind–body connection, drawing from meditation, yoga, and various movement practices. By tuning into the body, clients reconnect with their vitality and sense of wholeness.
Open Awareness
Presence and curiosity go hand in hand. I invite clients to welcome whatever arises in their process, even what feels uncomfortable, with compassion. This opens the door to genuine self-discovery, acceptance, and lasting growth.
Connection
We heal in relationship — to ourselves, to others, to community, to the earth, and to spirit. My approach emphasizes connection as the thread that integrates personal transformation into daily life.
Reciprocity
My work is guided by sacred regard for people, cultures, and traditions. I am committed to non-exploitative practices, honoring the ancestral roots of plant medicine, and fostering justice in how healing practices are shared.
These values give shape to a coaching process where you can feel deeply seen and supported.
Together, we can cultivate clarity, resilience, and loving awareness as you navigate your unique path of healing and transformation.
A New Paradigm in Mental Health
Over the past 15 years, a psychedelic renaissance has taken shape in scientific and clinical research. Substances like psilocybin (“magic mushrooms”), LSD, mescaline, MDMA (ecstasy), ketamine, ayahuasca, and ibogaine are being studied for their potential to treat mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD—often with long-lasting results that surpass those of conventional treatments.
Clinical trials have produced remarkable outcomes. A single high dose of psilocybin, for example, has led to profound and enduring reductions in anxiety and depression—particularly in cases tied to end-of-life distress and treatment-resistant conditions. Likewise, MDMA-assisted therapy has shown unprecedented success in treating PTSD. Psychedelics are also being studied for chronic pain, cluster headaches, substance use disorders, OCD, and other complex conditions. In response, major institutions around the world—from Johns Hopkins and Imperial College to the University of São Paulo—have taken notice, launching dedicated psychedelic research centers.
But the medicine alone isn’t the full story.
Therapeutic support is key. Trained facilitators who help people prepare, navigate, and integrate their psychedelic experiences can be the difference between a breakthrough and a destabilizing experience (or a “bad trip”). It’s crucial to approach these journeys with intention, care, and respect for set and setting—creating the safety and structure for deep inner work.
At its best, this work isn’t just about symptom relief. It’s about healing at the level of identity, connection, and meaning. The combination of modern clinical insight with lessons from Indigenous traditions offers a path toward a truly holistic model of psychedelic care—one that not only dwells in the chemistry of the brain, but honors the heart, the psyche, and the soul. A model that embraces healing in community, in relation to the earth, and in dialogue with your spiritual life, however you define it.
This vision is what I bring into my coaching and integration practice.
We stand at the edge of a new paradigm in mental health—where ancient wisdom meets expanded awareness of what it means to be human.
My Background and Training
I offer a personalized coaching space where you can slow down, look inward, and make meaning of your experience. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Through presence, attentive listening, and respect for your own inner compass, my role is to mirror your wholeness—mind, body, and soul—while honoring your connection to the world around you.
Academic Foundation
Through my academic training, I’ve sought to understand the human psyche more deeply and offer mental health coaching that is sensitive and evidence-informed:
BA in Psychology, University of Maine
Postgraduate training in Humanistic Psychotherapy, Instituto Humanista de Psicoterapia Gestalt
Trained in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and ACT
Psychedelic Training
In the emerging field of psychedelics, I’ve studied with diverse mentors to provide ethically grounded care:
Microdosing Coaching Certification — Microdosing Institute
Integration Training — ICEERS
Ayahuasca Safe Use and Therapeutic Application — Fundació Josep Ma. Fericgla
Ethical Psychedelic Care — Synthesis Institute
If you’re in Quito, Ecuador, I offer in-person coaching in nature. It’s a chance to step outside, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the living world around you.
