It all begins and ends with a breath. I invite my clients to approach healing from a place of mindfulness and self-compassion.

I call trauma the “Big Wounds of the Heart” which may have come to us as young children or later in life. They can leave big scars that later take on the form of depression and anxiety as ways to cope from ongoing triggers we confront on a daily basis.

I believe these big heart wounds can be healed with attention, love and skillful processing and releasing. Modalities to work on this include EMDR and Psychedelic Therapy.

Many times our day to day affairs, planning for the future or trying to cope from wounds of the past can keep us caught in certain mental and emotional loops. Gestalt is all about gaining self awareness of the present moment. We work with the breath and body as mindfulness vehicles to return to the here and now.

I trained in Chile and Argentina through Claudio Naranjo’s SAT program which integrates Gestalt Therapy with the Enneagram and other mindfulness healing modalities.

The future of therapy and our modern culture may lie in the deep healing and transformational potential of working with expanded states of consciousness. I’m a MAPS trained therapist in MDMA-assisted Psychedelic Therapy and currently offer guided modalities with Ketamine (KAP) and Cannabis (CAPT).

As much as we may feel like individuals at certain times, when we pause and look around we can notice our deep interdependence with the environment that surrounds us. It’s this interrelationship, that we are part of the land and all its living beings, that reminds us of our true nature.

I trained with the Holos Institute and School of Lost Borders and integrate principles of eco-psychology into my practice through outdoor sessions in Santa Cruz County.

I go by Seba (he, him) and identify as a heterosexual cis male, originally from Chile. I’m bicultural and offer therapy in English & Spanish. I specialize in working with LatinX clients as well as immigrants from all lands. I also work with clients who identify as LGBTQIA+.
