I am a multicultural and multilingual psychologist who brings a creative and empathetic touch to therapy. I was born in Argentina but raised moving around the world. I have lived in Colombia, Spain, Brazil, Chile, Singapore, and now the Netherlands. Growing up in several different countries and being exposed to a variety of unique cultures and life experiences taught me early on that everyone has a special story to tell. My work as a therapist is a direct result of this curiosity about people’s stories.

In my work, I do not believe a “one-size-fits-all” approach, and choose to empower each individual by keeping them and their needs the center of the process. I want to honor your individuality and encourage collaboration throughout our journey together. To achieve this, I use an integrative approach and derive inspiration from diverse therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness, and mind-body therapies. I am also trained in EMDR, a technique used widely in the processing of traumatic memories and dysfunctional beliefs about the self.

My focus is on you as an individual, not the 'pathology.’ As Dr. Gabor Maté puts it, “Everything you judge about yourself served a purpose at the time.” Together, we look at such purpose with compassion to help you understand yourself better, find vitality and meaning, and create positive change. Additionally, I believe that connection is a guiding principle in healing. Thus, I prioritize building strong relationships with my clients, creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen, valued, and respected.

I specialize in supporting those experiencing depression, anxiety-related complaints, identity questioning, self-esteem issues, life-stage issues, and (mild) trauma. Additionally, I am passionate about assisting those with struggles within their relationships and sexuality. I offer services in English and Spanish.
