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

Treatment Approaches
GSRD (Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity) TherapyRecommended for those seeking affirmative support and guidance while navigating the complexities of identity, sexuality, and relationships.
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.
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.
