About

Hi! My name is Leo, and I’m an integrative plant medicine facilitator and psychotherapist practitioner. My professional exploration of healing and altered states of consciousness began in the Bay Area, where I gained significant clinical experience by contributing with folks who looked at the effects of psilocybin on Major Depressive Disorder and Trauma.

My training involves many diverse, yet compatible modalities such as somatic trauma therapy, intergenerational trauma healing, internal family systems, attachment theory, nutritional healing, mindfulness meditation, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psilocybin-assisted group therapy, and several other skills.

Outside of my work with plant medicine, I love traveling and practicing the Spanish language, going to the gym, doing daily walks, and most of all, laughing with my friends.

How I work with clients

I will ask you questions to understand exactly what is happening with you. For example, if you tell me, “Im anxious”, I won't assume what that means based upon my own beliefs, but rather I will be curious, ask questions and I will try to learn more about what that means to you. Let me help you.

Treatment approach

The way I work, simply put, is all about you. It’s about your goals and what is important for you to achieve. Some describe me as “lovingly confrontational”. This means I will not only witness your growth process and encourage you; but I will also tell you whenever I feel you are preventing yourself from becoming the person you want to be. ​ I utilize our time together to build a relationship that ultimately serves to achieve your goals and create a happier, fuller life.

    My experience with Leo is something that I will never be able to adequately articulate in words, but I will forever remember it with vivid clarity. I have had a significant amount of experience with psychedelics in my life, but I had no idea how powerful an experience one could have on even just a microdose of the mushrooms I took during my journey with Leo. I laughed, cried, and relaxed into astonishing beauty, guided by the multifaceted playlist that Leo curated. And as for Leo himself, I will just say that he is one of the most knowledgeable, careful, gentle, and compassionate people you are likely to meet. He is, without exaggeration, an ideal guide for this kind of journey. His process of preparation and post-journey integration is very thorough, and I can guarantee that even if your particular journey involves some rocky moments, he will be there to keep you safe and remind you that you are not alone. From Leo’s personhood, to the environment, to the medicine itself, I can confidently say that this was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I cannot recommend this enough.

    Leo is amazing! The way he carries out plant medicine is truly incredible and transformative. Even if you’ve never done anything like this, he will absolutely help you through the process and also give you amazing insights and feedback from your journey. He is able to somehow find the balance of guiding your process without heavy handedness. He definitely knows the way these practices need to be carried out for the right experience. It’s rare to find someone with this type of wisdom and care. Highly recommended.

    I chose Leo for a plant medicine journey and I highly recommend him.
    First, he thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns. I was intrigued by the concept but had no experience with these medicines and was a little nervous. He has the training, expertise and patience to put my mind at ease.

    Next, we had a thorough consultation to prepare me for a positive experience. Not only did he clearly describe the methodology and what to expect, he helped set my own expectations regarding what I wanted to get from this medicine. His thoughtful guidance really helped me focus on realistic goals.

    The day of my journey he ushered me into a beautifully prepared, serene, safe and lovely space. He carefully revisited my intentions and what to expect. He also discussed professional boundaries which made me feel much more confident and at ease before we started.

    The medicine ceremony itself started pleasantly and gradually grew in intensity. Leo was always, attentive, attuned and I could feel he put lots of his own personal energy into the experience. There were mostly beautiful moments, a few humbling moments and a long, introspective and enlightening comedown. Remarkable!

    It so much exceeded all and any expectations.

    Leo gracefully guided me back into reality and gave me attention when I needed it and space when I needed it too. I definitely I was in good hands.

    And finally, he checked in with me a few days later to discuss the intentions I had set for the journey, the lessons I learned and he gave me a helpful framework for me to further integrate the experience into my day-to-day life.

    Ultimately, I’d characterize it as one of the most profound and transformative experiences of my life.
