About Me
As a psychoanalyst, I provide a secure, confidential space to gently explore the layers of your thoughts and emotions. My work goes beyond symptom relief; I aim to help you uncover the underlying patterns that shape your life. By fostering deep self-understanding and offering personalized clinical support, we work together to translate insight into lasting psychological growth and emotional resilience. If you are ready for a collaborative journey toward clarity, I am here to support your path
Approach
My work focuses on listening closely to patterns that shape your inner life and daily choices, then offering reflective, individualized interpretations that help you notice and try new ways of relating. Sessions in San José or online are held in English or Spanish and are paced to your needs—sometimes quiet and steady, sometimes more probing—so reflection unfolds both in the room and between meetings. Through gentle analysis and practical check-ins we address anxiety, relationship strains, relocation stress and climate-related grief by tracing how past experience shapes present reactions. Those seeking thoughtful, collaborative exploration often find this approach clarifying and stabilizing.
