About Me

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Webster University, where I was trained in a psychological and social approach. My practice is regulated by the Swiss Association for Counselling, ensuring high professional standards. (SGfB).

Originally from Mexico, I hold a License in Psychology from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS). Including memberships of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

My path to counseling has been shaped by curiosity and a diverse range of life experiences. Before working as a counselor, I spent over two decades working in the pharmaceutical industry in Switzerland.

I also hold degrees in Informatics and Regulatory Affairs—fields that taught me the value of structure, ethics, and human complexity.

I’m also trained in coaching that focuses on practical solutions and positive change. I blend different helpful approaches with a foundation inspired by supporting your mind, emotions, and behavior.

What matters most to me is creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported to grow at your own pace.

You can find my values, mission and vission, here.

Hi, I am Margarita. It is my understanding that everyone is whole and worthy of belonging in this world, as you do, too.

With many perspectives enriching the healing process, I am a mind explorer.

A Gentle Space for Growth

My work is grounded in the belief that we all long to feel we belong, that we matter, and that we’re capable of meaningful change. In our sessions, I offer a calm, steady space where you can show up just as you are, whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift.

Clients often tell me they feel safe and at ease with me from the start, like having a thoughtful conversation with someone who really sees them. I bring a warm, down-to-earth presence, along with tools and reflections that help you understand yourself better, care for your emotions, and take small, meaningful steps forward.

Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface, gently untangle old patterns, and find new ways to relate to yourself and others, with more patience, structure, and self-kindness.

It's a partnership. Not just friendly advice.

All data is kept securely for 10 years after treatment ends (as per Swiss law) and then destroyed. I won't share it with third parties without your consent, except in cases that involve the law (e.g., when there is a risk to life).
