Services
I provide psychoanalytic-oriented psychological care both in person, at my practice located in the Recoleta neighborhood, and remotely. Through online sessions, I can support individuals from anywhere in the world, in Spanish or English. I conduct an initial admission process through clinical interviews to assess the best approach for each pacient. Based on this evaluation, I propose a personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs.
My comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach allows me to address a wide range of issues in adults and older adults, both in hospital settings and mental health emergency teams, as well as in private practice and online therapy. My interventions focus on supporting the pacient and strengthening their family support network.
Throughout my career, I have gained international experience through exchanges with academic and healthcare institutions, as well as through postgraduate programs and publications in scientific journals. This multicultural training and proficiency in multiple languages enrich my practice, enabling me to adopt a broad, inclusive perspective in clinical work.
My commitment is to provide a space of attentive listening, respect, professionalism, and confidentiality, promoting psychological well-being and supporting the construction of meaningful life projects for each individual.
