FOUNDER

For more than three decades, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people reconnect with themselves, strengthen their emotional well-being, and build lives rooted in authenticity, self-worth, and meaningful connection. As a psychotherapist, coach, educator, speaker, nonprofit founder, and creator of ALMA, I’ve had the privilege of accompanying individuals, couples, families, leaders, and organizations through meaningful periods of growth and transformation.

I was born in Montreal, Canada, to Hungarian parents and grew up surrounded by different languages, cultures, and perspectives. Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, I developed an early curiosity about people, relationships, and the experiences that shape who we become. Canada formed my early years, while Mexico became my second home and the place where much of my life and work would unfold.

Before finding psychotherapy, I moved through several different worlds, including advertising, hospitality, entrepreneurship, communications, and business. I learned a great deal, but I did not yet feel that I had found the work that truly belonged to me.

That changed in my late thirties, when I began studying Jungian individual and couples psychotherapy. For the first time, I felt that the different parts of who I was—my curiosity, sensitivity, life experience, and desire to understand people—had found a place to come together. I later trained in family constellations, systemic family therapy, and executive coaching, integrating these perspectives into the work I continue to do today.

You don’t have to have everything figured out by 25. Sometimes your real work finds you when you’re finally ready for it.

Over the years, I’ve accompanied thousands of people through relationships, anxiety, grief, identity, leadership, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach brings together depth psychology, systemic thinking, emotional awareness, and practical tools that help people understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change in their everyday lives.

Wanting to extend this work beyond individual therapy, I founded AMARA Fundación Pro Autoestima, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening self-esteem and emotional well-being throughout Mexico. Through AMARA, I founded and directed the Dove Self-Esteem Project in Mexico. Between 2008 and 2021, the initiative reached more than 2.2 million people through educational programs, conferences, teacher training, community partnerships, and collaborations with schools, universities, organizations, and public institutions.

I also served as a global advisor and national spokesperson for the Dove Self-Esteem Project, contributing to international educational strategies and speaking to audiences ranging from small therapeutic groups to more than 10,000 participants.

After decades of listening to people’s stories, I came to a simple realization: regardless of our background, achievements, or circumstances, we all long to feel seen, accepted, connected, and worthy.

I don’t believe healing is about becoming someone different. I believe it is about remembering who we are beneath fear, expectations, conditioning, and old emotional patterns. My role is not to provide all the answers, but to create spaces where people can reconnect with their own wisdom, resilience, and capacity for transformation.

ALMA brings together what I have learned throughout my life and career into a space dedicated to self-discovery, emotional well-being, and meaningful human connection.

More than a destination, ALMA is an invitation to come home to yourself.
