About me

I am a licensed Psychologist and General Health Psychologist with over ten years of experience working in public and private clinical institutions. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety, mood disorders, relational challenges, sexuality, migration, trauma, stress, grief, and identity, among others. I have also completed advanced training in clinical sexology, which allows me to integrate specialized knowledge when working with issues related to sexual health. My professional trajectory has been shaped by a solid background in psychoanalytic theory, psychosocial studies, and contemporary clinical practice. These perspectives guide my way of understanding psychic life, subjectivity, and the social and relational contexts that influence how we experience ourselves. I bring this integrative lens into my work while maintaining a clear clinical frame and a commitment to thoughtful, individualized care. I firmly believe that ongoing training and one’s own therapeutic process are fundamental pillars of responsible and rigorous clinical work. These elements continually shape and refine my approach, allowing me to remain attentive to the complexity and singularity of each person’s experience. I work with adults from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, always respecting the singularity of each person’s history and ways of expressing discomfort. My aim is to offer a space where difficulties can be spoken, examined, and gradually understood with greater depth and nuance.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
My approach is rooted in contemporary psychoanalysis, understood not as a rigid or orthodox method but as a lens through which to explore the unconscious dimensions of experience, the conflicts that organize our emotional life, and the patterns that repeat themselves in relationships. I work from a psychosocial perspective, attentive to how personal experiences are shaped by broader contexts such as gender, culture, identity, and social expectations. In the therapeutic space, I invite a process of inquiry that unfolds through dialogue, associations, and the careful examination of what emerges in the clinical encounter. Rather than offering quick solutions, I prioritize creating the conditions for a deeper understanding of the difficulties you bring, allowing for shifts that are subtle but enduring. My style is thoughtful, contained, and collaborative, oriented toward helping each person articulate their experience in ways that open new possibilities for living and relating.

Experience

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist with over ten years of experience providing individual therapy in Spanish and English. Since 2015, I have worked in private practice, offering a reflective and thoughtful space grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives. I currently also collaborate with different psychotherapeutic centers, where I provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. Previously, at the Fernando Ulloa Institution, I offered clinical care for adults and participated in regular team meetings focused on case presentations and interdisciplinary discussion. My background includes clinical and community mental health roles in both individual and group settings. I have collaborated with Fundació Surt and Cooperativa Doble Vía, supporting women and LGTBIQ+ communities. I also worked as part of the technical team of the “Envión” Program of the Ministry of Social Development of Buenos Aires where I provided individual support to young people, worked with families and care networks, and facilitated group workshops. I later coordinated the program, supervising tutors and technical staff and collaborating with community institutions. I have also gained experience in community psychology, therapeutic accompaniment, and hospital mental health through placements focused on interdisciplinary work and group interventions. Additionally, I served as an Assistant Professor in the Social Psychology department at the University of Buenos Aires.
