I have experience serving folks from all walks of life, and I'm familiar with and open to many non-mainstream lifestyles & identities. As someone with lived experience as a person who uses drugs (PWUD) and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have a broad understanding of the margins of society.

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker who graduated with my MSW from The Ohio State University in the Mental Health and Substance Use specialization. I identify as a bisexual cis woman of mixed Mexican and white heritage with lived experience of substance use issues, psychedelic-assisted recovery, infertility, and domestic violence. My experiences have inspired me to devote my life to helping others in their change and growth processes and supporting them through their most challenging times. In addition to my psychotherapy and somatic therapy experience, I have five years of experience in crisis counseling, harm reduction, psychedelic peer support, and psychedelic event organization, and I have been interacting with psychedelics in various ways since 1995.

I am currently completing my licensing hours with an organization called NEST Harm Reduction, supervised by Erica Siegal, LCSW (CA #86622).

In my personal life, I enjoy hiking, foraging, gardening, cooking, yoga, dabbling in music-making, and spending time with animals of all kinds (but especially my two cats).
