About

Professional summary

I am a clinical psychologist and neuropsychology specialist with more than 16 years of experience in hospital-based mental health care, cognitive assessment, and comprehensive clinical intervention.

I assess and diagnose neurocognitive, developmental, affective, behavioral, and neuropsychiatric conditions in children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My practice is grounded in evidence-based assessment, structured interviews, clinical guidelines, and clear reporting.

I have managed more than 1,400 clinical cases and neuropsychological diagnoses in the last four years. I work closely with neurology, psychiatry, rehabilitation, and other health disciplines to guide diagnostic and treatment processes.

My areas of expertise include neurodevelopment, learning disorders, executive functions, dementia, mild cognitive impairment, brain injury, cognitive rehabilitation, psychopathology, and geriatric neuropsychology. I also have experience in high-risk cases, dual pathology, and psychiatric emergencies.

Alongside clinical work, I participate in neuroscience research, university teaching, data analysis, and interdisciplinary protocol design. I am committed to continuous professional development and to improving patients' quality of life through ethical, technically rigorous mental health care.
