About me
I am a Psychodynamic Psychologist from Chile based in Berlin, with a background in psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy, and systemic approach. Over the years, I’ve worked in settings ranging from private practice to interdisciplinary teams, including collaborations for chronic pain treatment. Whether I facilitate brief interventions or engage in longer-term psychoanalytic work, my goal remains the same: to offer a safe and supportive space for patients to explore their inner worlds and work through challenges.

Approach
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, particularly an intersubjective perspective that recognizes how our inner experiences and relationships shape who we are. In our work together, I encourage open dialogue to uncover meaningful insights and foster resilience. Whether you’re navigating emotional challenges, relational concerns, or daily stressors, I aim to create a supportive space for exploring, healing, and growing. The goal would be to work together to shape your path toward genuine well-being.
