Expertise

Psychologist holding an MSc in Psychobiology and Cognitive Neuroscience, with advanced training in Clinical Psychology. Specialized in mental health within the autism spectrum. My current scientific interest centers on delineating the diagnostic confusion between the Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) trait and ASD, alongside studying anxiety prevalence in neurotypical populations. Aiming to decentralize psychological research in Peru, I am developing a study in regions outside of Lima (quiet areas) to analyze environmental influences on these clinical profiles.
