I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and bring over 15 years of experience in the field of Psycho-Oncology. I earned a Master’s degree in Psycho-Oncology from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE) in 2024, following formal clinical training in Psycho-Oncology at the National Cancer Institute (INCAN) in Mexico City from 2008 to 2009.

Since 2013, I have founded and led the Psycho-Oncology Department at José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital (HJCA). My professional focus includes providing psychological support to cancer patients and their families, grief counseling, interdisciplinary collaboration in palliative care, and the prevention of professional burnout among healthcare teams.

I have authored articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals such as Revista Gamo and Revista Médica HJCA, addressing the emotional health of oncology patients.

I am committed to promoting comprehensive well-being for individuals facing cancer, advocating for humanized, evidence-based care.
