I am a coach, scientist, professor, and licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience helping individuals navigate self-doubt, overthinking, and chronic stress. My work blends compassionate exploration with actionable steps, empowering professionals to cultivate resilience, self-trust, and authentic self-expression.

​

I began my career as a licensed clinical psychologist and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, with extensive experience as a clinical supervisor, trainer, applied researcher, and consultant. I obtained my BA in Clinical Psychology in Bogotá, Colombia, at the Konrad Lorenz University, my MA in Behavior Analysis at the University of Nevada, Reno, and my PsyD in Applied Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School, Los Angeles.

​

Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations and settings, using evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address anxiety, mood disorders, chronic pain, emotional dysregulation, and relationship challenges. I’ve also worked extensively with families of children and young adults diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other behavioral challenges, integrating traditional ABA and ACT perspectives.

​

In addition to my clinical work, I co-founded the Institute for Effective Behavioral Interventions (IEBI), where I served as Director of Research and Development, providing state-of-the-art behavioral interventions. I’ve held leadership roles within the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS) and am currently a graduate professor at the Global Institute for Behavior Analysis at the University of Nevada, Reno. Over the years, I’ve presented at professional conferences worldwide and conducted workshops in ACT and related approaches for behavior analysts and other professionals.

​

Today, I bring this wealth of experience into my coaching practice, where I work with high-achieving professionals who feel stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-doubt, and overthinking. My goal is to help clients align with what truly matters, navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence, and create lives that feel as fulfilling on the inside as they appear on the outside.

​

Whether you’re seeking to reduce stress, make confident decisions, or break free from the weight of unrealistic expectations, I’m here to help you spend more time being who you truly are and less time wearing the mask of who you think you should be.
