∼ About me ∼
I was born and raised in Granada. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been passionate about people and their stories. I paid close attention to how differently I used to feel depending on whom I was with. I was also struck by the great variation in people’s personality and behaviour whilst also grasping how similar we all are deep down.
As I grew up, I remained curious and interested in human behaviour and mental, emotional and physical phenomena and processes of change. I also approached this from my own experience, embracing new and diverse situations as they unfolded in my life, as each one nourished me and contributed to my growth, despite my fears. For me, personal and professional transformation go hand in hand.
At the same time, I pursued my academic and professional career. After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Granada, I completed a four-year residency at Malaga Regional University Hospital, where I was awarded the title of clinical psychologist. Afterwards, I continued to work professionally in different hospitals in Barcelona. I have worked in the public healthcare system for 12 years. I am very grateful to the teams I was part of and especially to all my patients, as I have learned something valuable from each and every one of them.
After this journey, in 2025 I decided to leave the public healthcare system behind to pursue my career independently. I am very excited and eager to offer the best of myself in the beautiful profession of clinical psychology.
Based on my professional and life experiences, I believe that each of us has unique value and that there is no single valid way of behaving or functioning. There is also no such a thing as a life without obstacles or emotional pain. Regardless of whether or not a mental disorder has been diagnosed, I believe in the potential for human development and a health-oriented approach. As long as this approach is genuinely intentional and provides the appropriate support for each person if needed, we all have the capacity to improve.
Sometimes it is more important to change. Other times, acceptance is the answer, but both change and acceptance are about prioritising our own well-being. This is even better if we can count on support from others. I also think that we generally lead quite hectic lives, so boosting our self-awareness can help us to stop and take a deep breath before figuring out how to move towards our goals.
