My approach
"I don't believe people are broken. I believe every pattern has a story."
My approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person's unique story. Meaningful change begins with understanding. Together, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped the patterns you live by today, identify which ones continue to serve you, and develop new ways of responding when they no longer do. My hope is that this process helps you develop greater self-trust and live a life that is more fully aligned with who you are and your values.
Many of the struggles people bring to therapy did not appear out of nowhere. Anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck often develop as understandable ways of coping, adapting, or protecting ourselves through difficult experiences. The challenge is that what once helped us cope can eventually begin to limit how we live, relate to others, and see ourselves.
My role is not to tell you who you should be. It is to help you understand the patterns that no longer serve you, develop new ways of responding, and build a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
How I became a Therapist
I've always been fascinated by what makes people who they are. Growing up in Mexico sparked a deep curiosity about how culture, family, life experiences, and our environment shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
That curiosity stayed with me throughout my life. Before becoming a psychotherapist, it led me in many different directions, including co-founding a nonprofit organization and organizing the First International Conference on Tibetan Medicine, The Buddha's Art of Healing, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Although these experiences may seem very different from psychotherapy, they were all driven by the same question that continues to inspire my work today:
Why do people think, feel, and respond the way they do?
Living in Mexico, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States has also shaped the way I understand people. Experiencing different cultures has taught me that there is rarely just one way to see the world. Every person carries a unique story, influenced by their relationships, culture, experiences, and values. I believe that understanding those influences is one of the most powerful ways to create meaningful change.
