Contact

Booking takes one message.

You do not need to know whether it is serious, or use the right word for it. That is what the first session is for.

Where

Appointments are arranged over WhatsApp.

This number is for arranging appointments and times.

Message on WhatsApp(809) 393-0421

By email

Works just as well for booking. It takes a little longer.

Privacy

Do not send clinical detail by message.

Neither WhatsApp nor email is a secure channel for health information, yours or a child’s. Anything sent there sits outside the clinical record and outside the confidentiality the consultation itself has.

Booking needs nothing explained. This is enough.

  • Your name.
  • Which times work for you.
  • Whether you prefer in person or video.

What you are seeing, since when, and what worries you belongs in the first session. It is an assessment and exists for exactly that.

Where I consult

Two practices, in Santo Domingo.

MIITRAL, Centro de Cardiología Integral

Santo Domingo. Since 2024.

Consultant clinical psychologist, behavioral health. Preventive cardiology.

Centro de Gastroenterología Avanzada (CGA)

Santo Domingo. Since 2025.

Consultant clinical psychologist, behavioral health. Gastroenterology.

These are two separate and independent practices.

I also see people by video call, in English or Spanish, if that suits you better or you are not in Santo Domingo.

Scope

What I do not do.

  • I am licensed in the Dominican Republic and not in the United States, so I cannot provide therapy to anyone located there.
  • I do not prescribe or adjust medication. That conversation is with your treating physician.
  • I do not diagnose by message. A diagnosis requires assessment.
  • I do not design meal plans. When one is needed I point you toward nutrition and work in parallel with whoever leads it.

What falls outside my scope does not get left hanging. I work inside medical practices, and part of the first session is working out what you need and who else should be involved.

Before you write

If this is a medical emergency.

This site and these channels are not an emergency service. If there is fainting, repeated vomiting, chest pain, confusion or risk to life, the consultation is medical and it is now. An emergency service or the treating physician comes first. Psychological support comes after, and remains available.

If you would rather read first, the about page covers most of what arrives by email.
