Moving here might have been the right decision. It can still be the hardest thing you’ve done.
I work with expats and international professionals building a life in San Luis Potosí — in English, with someone who actually knows the city you’re trying to adjust to.
From the outside, your life here can look like it’s going fine — a good job, a nice apartment, an adventure. Inside, you might be carrying something that doesn’t have an easy name.
You’re lonely in a way that’s hard to explain, because on paper your life here looks fine.
You catch yourself thinking “I should be grateful, this was a great opportunity” every time you consider admitting how hard it’s been.
Your partner gave up their job, their routine, their whole context to be here — and some days that shows up between you as a resentment neither of you asked for.
You’re tired in a specific way: the tax of thinking, working and functioning all day in a second language.
Your kids seem to be adjusting faster than you, or slower, and either way you’re not sure what you’re supposed to do about it.
You keep meeting people you actually like, knowing that in a year or two, one of you will have moved on.
It moves through your relationships, your day to day, and the way you see yourself — often all at once.
Adjusting to a new country isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a life transition, and it deserves to be treated like one.
I work from a systemic approach. That means I don’t look at what you’re feeling as a symptom sitting apart from your life — I look at it inside the context that produced it: your relationships, your history, the specific move you made and the life you’re building because of it.
Two people can arrive at the same exhaustion by very different roads: a spouse who put a career on hold, a child struggling at a new school, a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit here yet. So the work isn’t a script. It starts with your specific situation.
In session we look at what’s actually costing you the most right now, what you’ve been carrying alone, and what could realistically change — for you, for your relationship, for the life you’re putting together here.
The goal isn’t to feel like you never left home. It’s to stop feeling like a guest in the life you’re actually living.
The process adapts to your situation, but we usually start by understanding before trying to change anything.
We talk about what brought you here, the timeline of the move, what’s been hardest, and what’s changed for you and the people around you.
We look at your relationships, your routines, your language load, and the patterns that keep showing up since the move.
We work on what actually helps you build a life here — not just get through it — and what you can do when the hard days come back.
The first session is for me to understand your specific situation — where you’re from, why you’re here, and what’s been hardest since the move.
In the sessions that follow we can look at recent situations, go deeper into patterns that keep repeating, and work on what actually helps day to day.
Not every week looks the same. Some sessions are about understanding; others are more practical.
You don’t need to have the right words for what this move has been like to book a first session.
I can’t promise a specific outcome or an exact number of sessions. We can set concrete goals together and check in on how the process is going.
Name what’s actually hard about this move, not just the parts you’re supposed to be grateful for.
Work through what’s shifted in your relationship since you moved: roles, resentment, plans that changed.
Rebuild a sense of who you are here, outside the job or the role that brought you to San Luis Potosí.
Figure out what actually helps your kids adjust, and what helps you.
Build friendships and a routine that make this feel like your life, not a layover.
Make some peace with being from two places and not fully belonging to either one, for now.
I see clients in person in San Luis Potosí, and by video call if online works better for your schedule — or if you travel or leave the country partway through the process.
I work with clients from across the city and the areas where a lot of international families and professionals tend to live, including Lomas, Tangamanga, Zona Industrial, Villa de Pozos and Soledad de Graciano Sánchez.
Once we confirm your session, I’ll send you the address and directions.
Yes. I’m fluent in English and see clients fully in English, from the first message you send to every session after that.
You don’t need to translate anything or simplify what you’re trying to say.
Yes. I regularly work with international clients living in San Luis Potosí — people who relocated for work, for a partner’s job, or for their own reasons, and are adjusting to building a life here.
Yes. Many of my clients travel regularly or move again partway through the process. We can continue by video call from wherever you are, as long as it works for your schedule.
Yes. Confidentiality is a basic principle of the therapeutic process, with the exceptions that apply when there is a serious risk involved.
I’m licensed to practice psychology in Mexico. My professional license (cédula profesional) is 15022266, and you can verify it directly with the Secretaría de Educación Pública.
That’s completely fine for our sessions — we work in English.
If you ever need support with something outside of therapy, like paperwork or a referral, I can try to point you in the right direction, even if it needs to happen in Spanish.
You can write me a short message about what’s been hardest since you got here. We’ll check availability and answer any questions before booking a first session.
