It was at that moment that I decided I wanted to specialize in this field. After several years working as a neuropsychologist, I became aware of the importance of clinical psychology. I needed tools to better provide emotional support to my patients, which led me to pursue further training in clinical psychology in order to address as fully as possible the needs of children and their families. After more than ten years of experience, I continue to enjoy and learn from my work. I am an expert in neuropsychology and psychotherapy. I carry out my clinical work as an associate specialist in the Neurology Department at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona, and as a neuropsychologist at the School Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE) of the same hospital. My professional activity focuses on the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders and the neuropsychological assessment of children with acquired brain injury (ABI). This assessment allows me to design an individualized rehabilitation program aimed at minimizing the impact of symptoms on my patients' lives.
