From an early age I realized that my path was to contribute to improving people's lives, having developed a natural curiosity and interest in humanitarian causes. Participating in these projects allowed me to develop a sense of acceptance and compassion for others, in an attempt to alleviate and prevent their suffering. Altruism and tenacity to make a difference in people's daily lives are, for me, crucial objectives.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am concerned with playing an individualized role, always prioritizing the specificities of each person, and responding to the objectives established together, integrating resources and complementary health professionals, enhancing each process. Therefore, starting from the creation of a safe space marked by trust, respect and ethics, I direct my intervention towards building a path for change.

Throughout my professional career I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in multiple contexts, continually investing in updating my skills through training and scientific research. I intend to give an effective, consistent and personalized response to each person with whom I have the privilege of collaborating, in an empathetic and non-judgmental way.
