About Me
I am a psychiatrist specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. During my residency training, I completed various clinical rotations, gaining experience in hospital settings as well as in group-based care and home-based interventions.
I currently practice at the Niño Jesús Hospital, a referral center for specific child and adolescent conditions, such as neurodevelopmental and eating disorders. My work encompasses inpatient care, psychiatric emergency services, and consultation-liaison psychiatry.
I believe it is essential to take a comprehensive approach to any condition, addressing both biological and psychosocial aspects. Consequently, I have undergone extensive training in psychopharmacology and other biological treatments, as well as in psychotherapy.
