About me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst based in Buenos Aires with over 30 years of experience in private practice. I hold an M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from the New School for Social Research in New York and completed my psychoanalytic training at the Asociación Psicoanalítica Argentina (APA), a member society of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA).
Throughout my career, I have maintained a commitment to both clinical excellence and scholarly inquiry. I have been honored as a Fulbright Scholar on two occasions (1998 and 2010) and served as a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University in 2022. These experiences have enriched my understanding of the complexities of human experience across diverse cultural contexts.
My work is grounded in psychoanalytic principles, offering patients a reflective space to explore unconscious patterns and develop deeper self-awareness. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find meaningful pathways toward personal growth and change.

Approach
My approach centers on exploring the unconscious dimensions of psychic life—including unconscious desires, fantasies, conflicts, and defenses—that shape patients' subjective experience and may be generating suffering. Through ongoing analytic dialogue, we work together to understand how these unconscious processes manifest in symptoms, relational patterns, and inhibitions that constrain emotional life and daily functioning.
A central aim of the analytic work is to recognize how these underlying psychic tensions interfere with one's capacity for pleasure, intimacy, productive work, and creative engagement with the world. Some difficulties stem from intrapsychic conflicts, while others arise within the relational field or from external circumstances. Both dimensions are explored with sustained attention throughout the treatment.
The analytic process involves careful listening to the patient's associations, attending to transference and resistance, recognizing repetitive unconscious patterns that perpetuate psychic distress, and working through the defenses and inhibitions that restrict psychic freedom and vitality.
