My journey
Before entering the world of therapy, I was an economist and a finance professional who worked for Goldman Sachs in New York and Mexico City. I obtained a Masters in Finance from Boston College and later transitioned to the non-profit sector where I served as CFO of Pro Mujer, an international micro finance organization that provides small loans and business training to low-income women in Latin America.
My passion for helping others continued to grow while I was raising my two boys, as I volunteered with community organizations that help immigrant families in Houston. Through my own journey in therapy and through seeing the need for bilingual mental health services, I decided to return to school in 2018 to pursue a masters degree in clinical social work.
I am originally from Mexico City but I have lived in Houston more than 25 years and I am proud to call Houston home. I am also a mom and a wife and my approach to therapy is deeply shaped by the real-life lessons of marriage and parenting.
