Healing and Visual Arts

I am committed to drawing your conscious self into alignment with the timeless wisdom of your soul. I strive to convey and facilitate the connection of ego consciousness to the transpersonal Self.

These many long months we’ve found that adapting is the key that will get us through these times. In the spirit of change I’ve brought my art and healing practice into alignment through the medium of technology. I’ve always envisioned an art show that was more of a ceremony in its presentation, and I feel I’ve been able to explore that experience here.

Spiritual Grounding Through the 7 Directions: A Shamanic Journey of Sight and Sound

I am an artist, psychotherapist, shamanic practitioner and psychedelic integration coach. I identify as A Latino and gay man (mixed race Colombian/Italian) and I'm a bilingual Spanish speaker. I received a MA in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM; a BA from Swarthmore College in PA; apprenticed with master herbalists; and learned from shamans in the Peruvian Amazon and native elders in the American Southwest. Plant spirit medicines have been instrumental in my personal process and I counsel clients integrating their personal experiences. I'm an intuitive empath with a spiritual bent in my work. I describe my approach as Humanistic, Archetypal, Jungian, Somatic, Transpersonal, and Shamanic. Through this blend of approaches, we'll work to contextualize your experiences into the greater fabric/story/lesson/purpose of your life. I work with adults and adolescents. I do not accept insurance at this time nor do I supply psychedelics. I am based in Portland, Oregon. Please inquire into services and rates through the "Contact" link below.
