About me

How did I get here

Even though neurology had always sparked my interest, it’s in my fifth year in medical school where I discover and fall in love with psychiatry, and decided to pursue a career in mental health.

During my psychiatric specialization residency, I realize there is an important added value complementing the medical formation with other tools such as psychotherapy in order to provide a wholesome mental health care. Therefore, I initially undergo a postgraduate course with a more integrative perspective and right after supplemented that course with a more psychoanalytic viewpoint. Later on, I deepened my knowledge on a constructivist and systemic orientation by completing a Master’s degree on Cognitive-Social therapy in the University of Barcelona.

All while continuing to update myself on other psychiatric and mental health issues.

Finally, with my own maternity, I found myself drawn to perinatal psychiatry and begin to study and work on this particular field.

How I define myself: values and philosophy

From a personal perspective… I am a mother, woman and feminist. In love with life and even though I enjoy running, yoga is my true passion. I am always eager to learn.

From a professional standpoint… Doctor, psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a systemic and constructivist perspective and..

 

  • I endorse an integrative approach of health, regarded as both physical and mental wellness
  • Evidence based medicine and scientific rigor in clinical practice
  • Offer an empathetic and humane treatment
  • Shared decision making (follow the link for the NICE recommended guidelines)
  • Integrative approach to mental health:
    - Thoughtful drug prescription, acknowledging them as facilitators for the therapeutic process to help emotional wellness and the patient’s autonomy.
    - Psychotherapy conducted by a professional as a means for personal understanding, growth and healing
    - Systemic perspective of the individual: as a whole and as part of system (surroundings)
    - Teamwork. I advocate for coordination between professionals to achieve multidisciplinary assistance for the person in need
  • Feminism/ gender viewpoint: the concept of attachment has proven to be a key factor regarding a person’s mental health whether it be an infant, teenager or adult. The creation of a safe attachment is imperative, which is why perinatal psychiatry ought to be prioritized. It may prove a revolutionary way to change the world.
  • Yoga: beyond the physical benefits, yoga is a way of life. Since I started practicing this discipline I have adopted concepts about self-understanding, compassion, deal with over demanding or excessive self-expectations, and a non-violence philosophy… all of which I try to convey to the people who come see me.
