About the Doctor

STUDIES Thank you for visiting my profile, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a graduate of UVM's psychology program, license 12099299. I hold a Master's in Third-Generation Therapies, such as EMDR - trauma therapy - Mindfulness - total awareness - Hypnosis - habit and emotion change - and I am pursuing a Master's in Clinical Psychology, from the Universidad Internacional Isabela I de Castilla, Burgos, Spain and from the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Barcelona. WORK. Getting therapy means wanting to be happy. Life's stages bring us different situations and crises, which are much more bearable with the help of therapy. Starting high school, starting college, getting married, becoming parents, raising children, a separation or divorce, retirement, etc. These are difficult stages that can unsettle us, upset us, and even make us sick, if they are not handled in a functional way. Getting therapy with proven counseling, coaching and positive psychology techniques will give us the tools needed to come out fulfilled from each situation. Personal or couple sexuality is a basic aspect of life; a good sex life not only improves our emotional stability, it even protects our body from diseases and infections. Couples can renew their sex life, can correct mistakes and can get to know each other in different ways. There are pains in our unconscious that can interfere with our sex life; working through them in therapy can rebuild our sexuality. Being a parent is a challenge, but being the parent of a child with developmental difficulties, ADHD, diagnosed with a disease, socialization problems, or victims of trauma, is an even bigger challenge. Getting training and emotional therapy will bring about a change in the family dynamic and, above all, in the future of every member of the household. Eating disorders and substance addiction find a path of light by applying techniques such as Hypnosis, dialectical behavior therapy and Mindfulness. These are problems rooted in deep sadness; working with the soul brings a solution to life. Nowadays there are different third-generation techniques that give wonderful results: Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, EMDR, Positive Psychology, counseling, Hypnosis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, etc. They focus on specific disorders and have broad scientific validity. I see patients with anxiety issues, depression, borderline personality disorder, agoraphobia, couple problems, a painful childhood or going through grief; I also see patients who have been diagnosed with a serious, chronic or incurable disease and their families. WRITER My first book "Descifrando a Betty" is soon to be released for sale. It covers a psychological analysis of the characters of Betty la Fea, a famous Colombian soap opera. We cover child education, blended families, infidelity, staying in a bad relationship, food addiction, gifted individuals, etc. SPEAKER I have given talks in various places, for parents, homemakers, political parties, companies and consulting firms nationwide. FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY EXPERT WITNESS I belong to a team of expert witnesses with extensive experience in Family, Civil, Criminal and Labor matters.
