Experience & Education

I am a therapist and educator with expertise in MDMA-Assisted Therapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, psychedelic risk reduction, and psychedelic professional development. I am a licensed clinical natural medicine facilitator under Colorado’s Natural Medicine model and provide psilocybin facilitation services.

I served as co-founder of Memoru and Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts. I am deeply aligned with bringing psychedelic-assisted care and training to underserved populations. 

I worked at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) for a decade where I held multiple roles including Director of Harm Reduction, leading the the work of the Zendo Project. I served as the appointed harm reduction advocate for the Denver Psilocybin Mushroom Policy Review Panel and spearheaded the MAPS Psychedelic Crisis Assessment and Intervention Training for First Responders. I currently serve as Project and Content Coordinator for The Ohio State University’s Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education’s Psychedelic Emergency, Acute, and Continuing-Care Education (P.E.A.C.E.) First Responder Psychedelic Crisis program.

From 2015-2023, I served as an Investigator for MAPS Public Benefit Corporation Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials researching the safety and efficacy of MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD.

I worked at Lykos Therapeutics (formerly MAPS PBC) as a Lead Educator and Associate Supervisor. I am the Lead Facilitator and founding Course Director for the Integrative Psychiatry Institute’s Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Training.

I serve as an advisor and consultant for multiple organizations in the psychedelic space including the Zendo Project, DanceSafe, and Beckley Clinical. 

Over the past 14 years, I have helped to train thousands of individuals on the topics of psychedelic-assisted therapy, psychedelic peer support, and personal and professional development in the psychedelic field.

I believe in the potential of psychedelics as catalysts for individual, community, and collective healing.

I come from mixed white/latina/genízaro ancestry and was raised in Northern New Mexico. Central to my own healing journey has been my connection to land and the natural world, which is my greatest teacher. I have held a personal relationship with psychedelics for over 25 years.
