I was born and raised in Argentina. I’m a bilingual, cross-cultural and international therapist and supervisor. My background allows me to navigate the challenges and benefits of being in one place and experience more than one culture at the same time. I have always held a profound curiosity about human psychology, relationships, child development, and the intricate tapestry of family and social dynamics. I am committed to guiding and supporting clients on the profound journey of understanding and embracing their family dynamics, recognizing their place within it, and learning how to take what they need from it to thrive in life
Traumatic experiences are inherent aspects of being human. Each trauma has the potential to be healed and integrated in a safe environment with presence and love. When trauma goes unaddressed, symptoms may emerge as a way for our system to draw attention to those overwhelming experiences, allowing us to integrate and liberate ourselves from it.
My systemic-focused approach includes Gestalt Therapy, Family Constellation, EMDR, and Synergetic Play Therapy.Play Therapy models children tools for self-regulation to implement when feeling challenging emotions, as well as acquiring social skills that will help them interact with more empathy in the world. I do individual PT sessions and family sessions

Nací y crecí en Buenos Aires, Argentina, un país conocido por su cultura que valora la unión, los vínculos familiares y las relaciones profundas.En mi trabajo como terapeuta y supervisora, me dedico a guiar y apoyar a las personas en el profundo viaje de comprender y abrazar las dinámicas familiares. Creo firmemente que dentro de cada sistema familiar existe una joya oculta: una forma perfecta de funcionar. Muchas veces el rechazo/dolor/insatisfacción con la familia de origen, genera ataduras que impiden vivir una vida plena.
Mi invitación es acompañar a las personas a explorar y comprender sus dinámicas familiares desde otro lugar. Es común, que cuando se cambia la percepción sobre algo/alguien se produce un cambio saludable dentro de la persona. Al hacerlo, las personas pueden realmente abrazar y amar quienes son, mientras cultivan gratitud por sus raíces.
Mi enfoque sistémico incluye Gestalt, Constelación Familiar, EMDR y Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT). SPT brinda a los niños-as herramientas para la autorregulación ante emociones difíciles y habilidades sociales que les ayudarán a interactuar con más empatía en el mundo. Realizo sesiones individuales de Terapia de Juego y sesiones familiares/padres/madres.
