Psychotherapist | Coach | Medicine Man | Educator

Throughout history, dreams, symbols, archetypes, myths, profound experiences, and altered states of consciousness have been invaluable guides, helping us explore life’s deepest questions.

These timeless tools invite us into the mysteries that inform our existence and call us on a soulful journey.

In my practice, I support individuals and relationships to (re)connect with a deeper, native wisdom — cultivating connection with the sacred through the body, dreams, and interconnectedness of all beings.

My work cares for the whole and honors the knowledge that emerges through relationship.

my journey

Born and raised in Ecuador, my journey began with extensive training under elders from the Chachi and other communities, where I was traditionally ordained as a Miruku. For over two decades, I have walked the path of master plants and healing arts.

I later pursued formal training in psychology, bridging modern therapeutic methods with ancient knowledge to support individuals in living with greater depth, connection, and meaning. I spent over a decade practicing as a psychotherapist, trainer, and supervisor in Ecuador before moving to Portland in 2021. Here, my journey continues, deepening my studies in:

• Process-Oriented Psychology (Process Work)

• Jungian Psychology

• Neurobiology and Trauma

MIRUKU

Miruku is a traditional Medicine Man, a person who travels the many levels of reality to bring the medicine and wellbeing to the community.

How My Work Stands Apart

My practice builds upon the state of art of therapeutic practices, creating an attuned, reparative and rich container for healing and growth. And it incorporates the voices of the beyond, the numinous, the sacred, the archetypal base of life out of which our most gnarly problems as well as our most brilliant solutions can unfold.

Your life has an intelligent core archetypal pattern that needs to be seen and honored, because that is where the best medicine, inspiration, and greatness of your being lay.

My work is devoted to helping you touch this core, where the solutions to your deepest challenges and the brilliance of your being reside.
