About Me

I’m a Psychologist from Argentina living in Germany (Leipzig) with over 12 years of experience. I graduated from Buenos Aires University and afterwards I continued my training in a post-graduate degree of clinical Psychology. Through the early years of my career I gained experience working with children, adolescents and elderly people. For over ten years now I have been working as a therapist in an interdisciplinary praxis. Every psychological treatment was not only different and unique, but it also taught me a lot about the profession and myself. I've been living in Germany for five years now and I wanted to continue my work in this profession, which I love. To achieve that, I started to explore and study new psychological approaches, so I can have more tools to help my patients. I also supervise my work with other colleagues and continue my own therapy. I offer a safe and respectful environment to work calmly in your goals, validate your emotions, explore what thoughts are arising, find relief, discover your own path and achieve fulfilment.

Approach

I work with adults in one-hour sessions focusing on what's bothering them now and what are the things they would like to improve or change, in a safe and respectful environment. I incorporate elements from Psychoanalysis to explore and understand how past experiences have shaped you, while we mainly work in the present using different therapeutic techniques from CBT to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours, gaining insights and developing new skills. We will visualize together the best path to follow, setting goals, reframing your thoughts and life experiences, so they empower you and not hold you back. This means that you will not only gain a deeper understanding of yourself but also develop the skills and confidence to navigate through life's journey. It’s important to keep in mind that growth is not linear, meaning there may be ups and downs along the way, but that is a normal part of the healing process. Also, rather than treating symptoms as problems to eliminate, therapy seeks to understand their protective function and create the conditions for lasting change. This will be done by exploring new ways to solve problems, adopting new strategies, focusing on finding alternatives, gaining greater emotional regulation, self-compassion, psychological flexibility and more fulfilling relationships in order to achieve autonomy and well-being.

Basic Information

Leipzig, Germany

In-person & Online

Services

I have a postgraduate degree in clinical psychology specialized in Psychoanalysis. And in the past few years, I studied new psychological approaches: Cognitive-behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This way, I have more tools to help my patients and adjust my interventions according to their needs. My cognitive training complements my prior training, allowing me to combine the specific psychoanalytic listening with the implementation of cognitive-behavioural strategies.
