Background in High Clinical Complexity Contexts
I graduated in Psychology after completing my clinical internships at Sagrado Corazón Hospital and ITA Clínica, where I began training in psychological intervention within complex clinical environments.
Subsequently, I worked for two years at ITA Avenir as Head of Phase 0, a unit focused on patients with a high level of clinical and emotional risk. During this stage I worked intensively addressing:
- Suicidal ideation and prevention
- Suicide attempts and self-harm
- Hetero-aggression
- Severe eating disorders (EDs)
- Clinical anxiety and depression
- Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
- EDs comorbid with ASD and ARFID
- Patients in 24-hour inpatient units
- Flight situations and extreme emotional dysregulation
This intense clinical experience allowed me to develop an exceptionally deep understanding of eating disorders and their relationship with neurodevelopment, particularly in autistic patients who present baseline cognitive rigidity, sensory difficulties, and primary alterations in emotional regulation.
Academic Training and Specialization
Subsequently, I completed the Master's in General Health Psychology at Universitat Abat Oliba CEU.
My Master's thesis focused specifically on intervention in eating disorders comorbid with autism spectrum disorders. This is a highly specialized clinical line on which, together with a team of researchers, I managed to publish advanced academic work.
During this formative stage, I also developed my clinical practice at CSMIJ Mollet, a facility attached to Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona. There I worked with child and adolescent populations, delving structurally into:
- Neurodevelopment and intervention
- Emotional regulation and behavioral disorders
- Anxiety and depression in developmental phases
- Systemic and family functioning
Neurodevelopment and Current Clinical Practice
I currently practice my vocation at UNDEV, a specialized and cutting-edge neurodevelopment center where I perform daily:
- Specialized diagnostic evaluation
- Clinical intervention and evidence-based therapy
- Neuropsychological studies
- Focused therapeutic work
My main areas of high clinical intervention include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), high abilities, intellectual disability, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and high-level adaptive difficulties.
Integral Neuropsychological Perspective
My clinical practice integrates this perspective as a foundation because it assumes that many emotional, behavioral, or social difficulties have a structural and direct relationship with how the nervous system functions biologically and the individual cognitive processing of each patient. We don't just treat "symptoms," but the complete system.
My Therapeutic Approach
My guiding methodology is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Today, and under international empirical rigor, it is one of the therapeutic models with the greatest scientific support and verifiable evidence of efficacy in clinical remission.
On this CBT foundation, I also harmonically integrate third-generation tools and neuroscientific knowledge:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Functional Clinical Neuropsychology
- Emotional regulation and executive autonomy techniques
I consider it imperative that therapy never be based on intuitions or "simplistic mystical explanations," but on solid clinical models that can be pedagogically understood, objectively evaluated, and applied with rigorous prognosis.
Real Treatment Objectives
The therapy I offer is not limited to putting band-aids on alarm symptoms; my priority vocation is to provide tools so that the person can achieve:
- Comprehensively understand their own baseline functioning
- Drastically reduce clinical interference in the environment
- Improve their autonomous emotional regulation
- Develop real autonomy
- Rebuild their underlying psychological stability
- Improve their quality of life unconditionally and sustainably over time
Professional Ethics, Confidentiality and Therapeutic Relationship
Confidentiality is the master beam of my clinical practice. I defend the therapy session as your safe vital space, absolutely protected, shielded and confidential where you are free to put words to your experiences and emotions without the slightest hint of external judgment. You decide the speed and depth of treatment.
I forge the therapeutic relationship from maximum respect, inflexible professionalism and emotional safety. My role is not to become "your friend," but to be an agent of clinical change providing you with a stable and optimal technical space. The sharp maintenance of these limits and the separation of personal life allow psychological intervention to be much more effective, neutral and beneficial.
As a healthcare professional of the official college, the only legal breaches of confidentiality occur in situations of explicit fatal risk (imminent danger of death for the person themselves or third parties), in accordance with the current code of ethics. In all other cases, your privacy is a priority fortress.
