What I'm looking for
I’m a passionate Clinical Psychologist with over 13 years of experience supporting people through trauma, chronic illness, grief, and life transitions. I specialize in culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approaches and have worked across public health systems, NGOs, and international programs.
My background includes facilitating mental health and self-care workshops for educators, healthcare providers, migrants, and corporate teams. I blend evidence-based psychology (CBT, trauma-focused therapy) with holistic tools such as mindfulness and expressive arts.
As a fully bilingual professional (Spanish-English), I’m available for remote opportunities worldwide, including therapy sessions, workshop delivery, content creation for mental health platforms, program consulting, and training facilitation. I thrive in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams, bringing empathy, clarity, and structure to everything I do.
