About the Doctor

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this About Me section. My path as a Psychotherapist has gone through different experiences ranging from anxiety, depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), dissociative experiences, to lack of meaning, and the need to integrate experiences commonly called psychedelic or Expanded States (Non-Ordinary) of Consciousness. Along the way as a Psychology graduate, I have specialized in Transpersonal Psychology and Psychotherapy; a model or view that allows us to recognize that which goes beyond the person, beyond the simple and limited self. For Transpersonal Psychology, the human being tends toward life and toward fullness, so at times the most contractive experiences can be alternate paths to that same fullness Likewise I have specialized my view in working with Psychological Trauma, formally as a Certified Clinical Professional in the Treatment of Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders (CCPT-I/II and CCPT-III) through EMDR Therapy, in which I am certified by EMDR Mexico and the EMDR Institute, as well as trained in Compassionate Inquiry by Gabor Mate and Sat Dharam, certified in Traumatic Stress by Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation, in Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Institute, among other studies focused on providing informed, trauma-sensitive support to Psychological Trauma. I am also trained as a Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator, a technique that allows us to mobilize unconscious content sometimes stored in a dysfunctional way, and through this practice we can work through and process it, as well as access different levels of consciousness or Transpersonal experiences. I hold a specialty in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy from the Instituto Transpersonal Integrativo in Barcelona. I also hold trainings as a Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness (TSM®) Facilitator, Breathwork Instructor, Meditation and Mindfulness Instructor, Certified Clinical Professional in Addictive Behaviors (CCPA-I). Tools that allow me to provide a safe and compassionate space to support you in holding, containing, and healing whatever in you needs it. At the organizational level I work as an Emotional Intelligence, Neuro-Agility, and Positive Psychology Facilitator. I firmly believe that psychotherapeutic support is a process that allows us to generate a comprehensive transformation in our lives. It allows us to look again at experiences that had previously been a source of pain from a more loving, compassionate, and kind place. If you allow me to accompany you through pain, anxiety, fear, sadness, and the whole range of experiences you live through, I will give everything of myself so that you can recognize everything about yourself. -Support for the LGBT+ community -Psychedelic Preparation and Integration -New relational formats (Open relationships, polyamory, etc.) Professional Affiliations: -Active Professional Member of the Consejo Mexicano de Neurociencias. As Viktor Frankl said, "I found the meaning of my life, accompanying others to find the meaning of theirs".
