About Me

With 15 years in clinical psychoanalysis, I help individuals explore deep-rooted patterns shaping their lives. My sessions offer a dedicated space to understand unconscious dynamics. This approach is ideal if you seek a thorough, sustained process for long-standing difficulties. We work collaboratively, at your own pace, fostering profound self-awareness and lasting change.

Approach

Psychoanalytic listening shapes how sessions unfold, orienting attention to slips, dreams and recurring behaviours so meaning can emerge over time. In my Buenos Aires practice—also available online—I hold sessions in English or Portuguese, paced to each person's rhythm and with careful attention to associations between day-to-day choices and deeper conflicts. Through regular, reflective sessions we trace patterns that surface in mood, body image, sleep and relationships, including issues around addiction or adolescence. People seeking a steady, exploratory process often find this way of working helpful.
