I have an academic background in Psychology (BA, MA and PhD) and psychotherapy (MA in Clinical Psychology and Diploma in Health Psychology).



My doctoral dissertation was a study on the psychological meaning of different elements of religiosity in different Religious Associations (Catholics, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses), based on a qualitative approach.



Activity



Currently I am in private practice and academic life. I have a psychological clinic and I am a university professor in Monterrey. I am part of the Centre for Welfare and I'ma member of Division 36 of the American Psychological Association and the National System of Researchers (Level C).



I presented the results of my studies at conferences nationally and internationally (Austria, Germany, USA). I have published in some journals in psychology and I have some chapters published in books.


I was

My main professional interests revolve around religion, health, positive emotions and processes of change.



I am passionate about mountain biking, photography, writing daily stories and travel. My weekends are dedicated to my tribe enjoying the company of my wife and three children.
