About me

As an Argentinian psychologist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I bring a deep understanding of both cultural and psychological dynamics to my practice. With a background that blends rigorous academic training with a profound commitment to social issues, I focus on helping individuals and couples navigate complex life challenges. My expertise lies in addressing issues related to immigration, sexuality, and female empowerment, particularly within Spanish-speaking communities.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with individuals who are adapting to new cultures and environments, providing them with the tools to manage stress, anxiety, and the emotional impact of migration. My work with couples focuses on enhancing communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering intimacy. Additionally, I am passionate about supporting women in overcoming societal and personal barriers to achieve greater empowerment and self-esteem.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, particularly CBT, which allows me to offer practical strategies that lead to meaningful and lasting change. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for all my clients, helping them to explore their feelings, develop resilience, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Approach

Treatment Approaches

CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
MindfulnessMindfulness is the process of maintaining a purposeful moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment.

My approach to psychological practice is deeply informed by my own experience with immigration, which gives me a unique understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges that come with adapting to a new culture. This personal journey enhances my ability to empathize with clients and offer culturally sensitive care.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and create positive behavioral changes. This evidence-based approach is tailored to address the specific needs of each individual, with a focus on areas such as immigration, couples therapy, and issues related to sexuality and empowerment.

I am particularly passionate about supporting women in overcoming societal and personal barriers, fostering empowerment and self-acceptance. My practice is committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients from diverse backgrounds feel heard, validated, and supported in their journey towards meaningful and lasting change.
