About me

I was born in Argentina and grew up in New Zealand and Australia. I returned to my home city of La Plata in 2015 to begin studying Psychology (a six-year degree) at my local university (Universidad Nacional de La Plata). During my years of study, I participated in several research and extension projects run by my faculty; I worked as a coordinator of a weekly workshop with psychotic patients at the regional psychiatric hospital and researched autism and the history of psychology in Argentina. Additionally, I translated a few books on the history and reception of psychoanalysis in Latin America, which have since been published by Routledge. After graduating, I started my clinical practice with adults at an institution in Buenos Aires (Centro Dos), which offers psychoanalytic therapy to the public at an affordable cost. I later began my private clinical practice both in-person (in La Plata) and online. Last year, I concluded the three-year psychoanalyst training proposal at the Freud-Lacanian School of La Plata. Additionally, I work as a teacher at my faculty in a course called Psicoterapia I (Psychotherapy 1).

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Lacanian psychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore the unconscious mind through the lens of language and desire, focusing on understanding deeper motivations.
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.

Life sometimes seems plagued with dreadful actions, thoughts, feelings, and situations that we tend to re-stumble upon time and time again. Despite knowing that they are not good for us, we nevertheless repeat them beyond our volition and without knowing what causes us to do so. Some may call upon fate, or bad luck, to explain these repetitions. The space I offer seeks to help each subject find their truths on this matter, and others. Without recipes or premade categories, and on a case by case basis, it is the free speech of the consultant that will guide the treatment.

The general therapeutic tendency nowadays is to close meanings, to quickly situate the subject within closed psychiatric categories that may provide certain relief but also limit a person’s autonomy. The aim of our work will be quite the opposite: to open up meanings, to enable a space (founded on a unique type of conversation unlike the ones we encounter in our everyday lives) in which the person can question those meanings that were awaiting them in the symbolic world they were born into.
