About me
I’m Colombian and migrated to Rio de Janeiro with my family when I was 8 years old. I discovered psychoanalysis at the age of 13 through my first analyst, which became a transformative experience. Embracing my identity as a queer Latina and foreigner has been a profound part of my journey, shaping how I see and engage with the world. I’m married to a woman, and together we are raising two children.

Approach
My clinical practice is deeply rooted in affirming differences and embracing the unfamiliar, driven by the ethical responsibility to foster social change. I believe that the singular analysis of each person and their unique life story holds immense cultural significance, with the potential to challenge and shift paradigms. Creative desire, liberated sexuality, and decolonized libido are powerful forces capable of dismantling oppressive structures and opening paths to authenticity and transformation.
For me, psychoanalysis is not just about healing—it is a means to celebrate individuality, resist conformity, and affirm the value of being different in a world that often fears it.
