Psychologist · ACT & Mindfulness Coach

A clinical background that shapes how I coach

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, coach, and public health professional. I’ve worked across clinical practice, research, teaching, and the design of practical tools in Peru and the Nordic countries.

My clinical training includes ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches. I’ve worked with trauma, emotional dysregulation, borderline personality disorder, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and crisis situations. I’ve also taught and supervised mental health professionals across Latin America.

I’ve also worked as a co-founder, consultant, and product builder. That experience has taught me how to turn behavioural science and complex ideas into tools people can use in real life.
