What I offer?

Psychotherapy

A confidential space to make sense of your inner world, explore what’s not working, and move toward greater clarity and emotional freedom. I work with adults navigating identity, intimacy, chemsex, trauma, and the quieter complexities of being human.

Supervision & Consultation

Clinical supervision and consultation for therapists, health professionals, and organisations seeking support with complex clinical issues, LGBTQ+ mental health, or substance misuse. My approach balances clinical rigour with relational depth and reflective safety.

Bespoke Trainings

Engaging, evidence-informed trainings on LGBTQ+ mental health, chemsex recovery, trauma, and inclusive therapeutic practice. Whether for teams, conferences, or ongoing CPD, each session is tailored to your audience’s needs and grounded in lived clinical expertise.

About me

I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting clients through complex emotional work. Originally from Mexico, I’ve lived and worked across the UK, USA, the Netherlands, and Mexico, bringing a cross-cultural, deeply attuned lens to therapy. My work is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that healing is a return to what’s already true.

Reflections & Publications

Reflections, essays, and published work exploring the emotional, relational, and existential themes that often emerge in therapy. Whether you’re a fellow professional or simply someone seeking deeper understanding, I hope these writings offer insight and resonance.
