BIO

Allow me to walk alongside you as your therapist through life’s transitions and challenges. Our therapeutic relationship will become a space where conflicts find resolution, goals take shape, and your well-being grows.

Hello! My journey into psychology began without my realizing it would lead me down a path of profound self-discovery and healing. I’ve known the depths of suffering, and from that place, I was compelled to seek a more authentic and fulfilling well-being. This quest introduced me to the transformative power of psychotherapy—both in individual sessions and group settings. My path has wound through self-help groups, addiction rehabilitation clinics, spiritual explorations, meaningful travels, meditation retreats, and my own intensive psychotherapy. These experiences have granted me deep awareness of my own life’s trajectory, and in turn, have prepared me to offer you professional support rooted in genuine understanding.

It brings me great joy to share the wisdom I’ve gathered on this ongoing personal journey. I consider it a true privilege to contribute to your well-being—especially during times when you may feel vulnerable, lost, in pain, or uncertain.

EDUCATION

Bachelor's Degree in Psychology

I completed my BSc in Psychology at Universidad del Valle de México, after which I undertook my clinical practice at the Secretary of Public Security in Querétaro, Mexico, working within their Crime Prevention Unit. This proved to be an extraordinarily synergistic experience collaborating with Criminology experts. During this time, I provided psychological first aid across diverse scenarios ranging from preventive community work to high-risk interventions. I delivered brief therapy to civilians requiring crisis support and emotional stabilization amidst the challenges they faced. A significant part of my work involved developing crime prevention strategies, including creating an innovative protocol for preventing social media-related crimes. Additionally, I rendered outpatient clinical psychological services to those in need.

My mindfulness training spanned internationally - completing the first year in Barcelona, Spain with a focus on Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy, followed by advanced training in NY, USA in Compassion-Based Psychotherapy and Somatic Transformation.

Master's Degree in Music Therapy

I completed a Master's degree in Music Therapy at UNIR University in La Rioja, Spain, where I trained in evidence-based applications of music to enhance mental health and holistic wellbeing.
