About me

With 25 years of clinical experience, I have accompanied individuals through high-stress situations, life transitions, grief, and personal crises. Often, these experiences resurface past wounds or traumas that require a deep, professional approach. In my practice, complemented by lifelong training, I have explored the many ways we carry pain while trying to move forward. Sometimes we protect ourselves with mechanisms that, though once necessary, can eventually limit our well-being and growth. Psychotherapy offers a safe, insight-oriented space to approach ourselves with honesty, making sense of our repetitive patterns and uncovering possibilities that were previously hidden. I am constantly inspired by watching my patients transform their life stories into a source of strength, discovering ways of living that once seemed out of reach. Español Sobre mí: Con 25 años de experiencia clínica, acompaño a personas que atraviesan situaciones de alto estrés, transiciones vitales, duelos y crisis personales. A menudo, estas experiencias reabren heridas o traumas del pasado que requieren un abordaje profesional y profundo. En mi práctica, complementada por una formación continua, he aprendido las diversas formas en que intentamos cargar con nuestro dolor mientras seguimos adelante. A veces nos protegemos con mecanismos que, aunque comprensibles, terminan limitando nuestro bienestar. La psicoterapia ofrece un espacio seguro para acercarnos a nosotros mismos con honestidad, dando sentido a nuestras experiencias y descubriendo posibilidades que antes no podíamos ver. Me llena de admiración ver cómo mis pacientes transforman sus historias de vida en una fuente de fortaleza, descubriendo formas de vivir que antes les parecían imposibles.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
My work is rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy, focusing on the unique subjective experience of each individual. Everyone develops their own way of navigating their life story. The therapeutic process is an opportunity to explore these mechanisms—especially those that are no longer fulfilling—and uncover new paths toward greater freedom and well-being. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where your words can find their place, making it possible to gain insight and perceive yourself in a new way. Español Mi enfoque: Mi trabajo parte de la Psicología Psicodinámica y se apoya en la escucha de lo singular. Cada persona trae su propia manera de haberse arreglado con su historia de vida. El proceso terapéutico es una oportunidad para revisar esos modos —especialmente aquellos que ya no resultan satisfactorios— y encontrar otros que permitan vivir con más libertad. Busco que la terapia sea un espacio cuidado, sin juicios, donde la palabra encuentre su lugar y se vuelva posible pensarse de un modo diferente.
