“*English* You're building a life between two countries. Part of what you argue about isn't the logistics — it's cultural, and one of you feels it before the other has words for it. That's where the work begins. *Español* Están construyendo una vida entre dos países. Parte de lo que discuten no es la logística: es cultural, y uno de los dos lo siente antes de que el otro tenga palabras para nombrarlo. Ahí empieza el trabajo.”

About Me

*English* I'm a Colombian clinical psychologist with 15+ years of experience, including practice in New York. My work is grounded in contemporary psychoanalysis: we go to the root of the conflict in order to resolve it in the present. Most of the couples I work with are professionals who live across two countries and two time zones. Sessions are online, in English and Spanish, delivered from Colombia — and in person in Bogotá when you're both here. *Español* Soy psicóloga clínica colombiana, con más de 15 años de experiencia, incluyendo práctica en Nueva York. Mi trabajo parte del psicoanálisis contemporáneo: vamos a la raíz del conflicto para resolverlo en el presente. La mayoría de las parejas que atiendo son profesionales y viven entre dos países y dos husos horarios. Las sesiones son virtuales, en inglés y español, desde Colombia — y presenciales en Bogotá cuando ambos están aquí.

Approach

*English* Some couples come early in the relationship, deciding between two countries with little knowledge yet of each other's world. Others come further along, past the idealization, wanting to rebuild what distance and difference have worn down. We work in whichever language lets each of you say what's actually hard to say. A pattern I see often: couples who didn't move forward in therapy in one cultural register — and did when both registers were in the room. I also work individually with Colombians abroad and with adults whose life looks right from the outside but doesn't feel right within. *Español* Algunas parejas llegan al inicio de la relación, decidiendo entre dos países con poco conocimiento aún del mundo del otro. Otras llegan más adelante, pasada la idealización, a reconstruir lo que la distancia y las diferencias han desgastado. Trabajamos en el idioma que le permita a cada uno decir lo que realmente es difícil de decir. Un patrón que veo con frecuencia: parejas que no avanzaron en terapia dentro de un solo registro cultural — y sí avanzaron cuando los dos registros estuvieron en el mismo espacio. También trabajo individualmente con colombianos en el exterior y con adultos cuya vida se ve bien por fuera pero no se siente bien por dentro.
