As well as multiple courses and training in clinical psychology and psychological and forensic evaluation.

During these years, I have had the opportunity to work in several areas of Psychology such as Social and Community, Educational, Organizational and Clinical Psychology, also as some organizations call the "Psychosocial Approach" in places such as the National University, the Institute of Studies of Women, the Hispano-American University, the Latin University, La Salle University, the Joint Institute of Social Assistance, Shelters and local offices of the National Children's Trust, for some Municipalities and Non-Governmental Organizations that protect Human Rights and political activists, also in programs for foreign governments as well as internationally renowned private companies that provide their employees with Health Assistance Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean where I´m now a Senior provider, teacher, and coach.

My therapeutic approach is comprehensive, integrative, and sensitive to Psychological Trauma, I have more than 14 years of professional experience, and this is my tailor-made mental health, and recovery program for you. I also collaborate with other health professionals who have authentic relevance for integral well-being journeys.

I have always tried the approaches that I use myself first so I can have the experience of what I’m providing, from this view, the treatment for my clients is built to suit, unique, and flexible because I know how delicate and transformative this experience is.

Healing is not easy or quick; recovery requires courage, bravery, willingness, and commitment when motivation is not enough. But if you are here reading this, you have already taken a significant first step: Be adequately informed.

The integration of the different specialties in Psychology ends up being a challenge, as this science is in constant development, and far from eclecticism, it is a need that consultants have for techniques and systems that can contribute with the best evidence and practices that satisfy their clients needs.
