Approach
I was born and raised in Mexico City. Before moving to Germany, I had already lived in the U.S. and Canada. These experiences gave me a deep insight into the life of a migrant and the struggles (and beauty) of it.
Additional to my studies in Psychology, I have two university degrees in Visual Arts (Film). This has given me a special understanding of perception, creativeness and stories. This is why I focus on the inner world of my patients. I like to understand their goals, struggles, highs and lows trough their own experience. My approach is essentially compassionate and non-judgemental.
