Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences

​

I graduated from Albizu University located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I also completed my clinical internship at the University of Arizona Department of Psychiatry. During my clinical training, I have provided services to psychiatric populations, high-risk suicidal patients, rural area clients, and homeless participants, among others, either in assessment, treatment, or consultation. I was also part of the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Program at the Albizu Clinic, where I developed a broader perspective to identify multifactorial causes of the patient’s behavior and thoughts to work accordingly to their needs. More recently, I have expanded my clinical training in treating sleep disorders. I aspire to continue learning about evidence-based treatments to treat sleep difficulties and continue to offer mental health services to diverse minority populations, such as the Latino community.
