About me
I grew up between two languages and two cultures — part of my childhood was spent in the United States before I returned to Argentina, where I was born and where I now practice. I know what it means to belong, more or less, to more than one place, and fully to neither.
I'll be honest with you about something else: I know what it's like to lose your footing completely — the kind of darkness where the mind convinces you nothing will change and the logic seems airtight. I've had to find my way back from that, with help. I'm not sharing this to make the conversation about me. I'm sharing it because I think it matters that your therapist has been somewhere real — not just studied a map of the territory.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My work draws on psychodynamic theory, existential analysis, and cognitive-behavioral approaches — adapted to the person, not applied as a formula. I'm interested in understanding why you feel what you feel, and how that understanding becomes the ground for real change. Those aren't opposing goals.
I take your thinking seriously. I won't pathologize your questions or rush toward resolution. What I will do is stay with you in the difficulty — rigorously, and without false comfort — until something more livable begins to take shape.
Experience
I have been in therapy myself, across multiple modalities and over many years — psychoanalytic, Lacanian, systemic, Gestalt, and DBT among them. I also experienced therapeutic accompaniment during a period of acute crisis, which remains one of the most formative experiences of my life.
This is not incidental background. It means I come to this work with firsthand knowledge of what it is to need help, to resist it, to receive it badly, and to receive it well. I take that seriously.
