About the Doctor

I have 10 years giving private clinical consultations to adults; being a therapist is also an internal and social responsibility, which is why I go to therapy myself, swim, and do yoga twice a week each, in addition to meditating daily to get better results. I studied Psychology at the Universidad de Morelia, and I also completed a master's degree in integrative psychology at IBERO CDMX, where I focus on an integrative therapy process, meaning I don't use a single method of work, but rather adapt to the person and their issue. I have seen different issues such as emotional crises brought on by age, childhood traumas, problems with dad and mom in adults; these problems can also generate anxiety, with physical symptoms in day-to-day life, as well as depression. Breakups today are a very recurring theme in people's lives, being a life process and a learning process; dealing with this stage can be very critical. During the master's in psychological counseling I completed a 500-hour internship as a psychologist, which was supervised; this was very critical for my process as a therapist. When I decided to embark on the journey of becoming a psychologist, I knew I was going to enter a world of deep empathy and transformation. However, I never imagined how much my own life would change by immersing myself in the therapeutic process. Every session I've had with my patients has taught me invaluable lessons. Through their stories, pains, and triumphs, I've learned to truly listen, without judging, and to offer a safe space where they can be authentic and vulnerable. But I've also realized that I too needed that same space for myself. Going to therapy as a psychologist has been a revealing and transformative experience. It has given me the opportunity to explore my own challenges and wrestle with my inner demons. In that protected space, I've had the freedom to examine my deepest thoughts and emotions, to question my deeply held beliefs, and to challenge my limiting patterns. Through therapy, I've discovered the importance of taking care of my own mental and emotional health. I've learned that it's necessary to honor my own needs and prioritize my well-being. In the process, I've realized that I can only be an authentic and compassionate support for my patients if I also take care of myself. Therapy has taught me to embrace vulnerability as a strength and not a weakness. I've learned to recognize my own wounds and allow myself to heal. In doing so, I've discovered that my capacity for connection with my patients has grown exponentially. Sharing my own humanity has allowed me to build genuine, trusting relationships, where together we can embark on the path toward healing and growth. Going to therapy as a psychologist has not only helped me become a more understanding and sensitive professional, but also a more authentic and resilient person. I've learned to embrace the complexity of human beings and to celebrate the diversity of our experiences. Every day, I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of my patients' journey of transformation and, at the same time, of my own journey. Therapy has shown me that change is possible, even in the darkest moments. It has reminded me that we all deserve love, compassion, and hope, myself included. As a psychologist, I feel deep gratitude for therapy and how it has shaped my life. I will continue cultivating my own personal and professional growth, knowing that there will always be more lessons to learn and share. In short, going to therapy as a psychologist has changed me in unimaginable ways. It has allowed me to find myself, heal my own wounds, and grow as a human being. I am committed to continuing this path of self-discovery and continuous development, in order to give the best of myself to those who seek my help.
