Therapy

What type of psychotherapy do I practice?

I believe that each individual’s challenges are deeply influenced by their personal history, context, and available resources. That’s why I avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I create tailored treatment plans that incorporate techniques from psychodynamic, systemic, and cognitive therapies, adjusting to the unique needs, background, and goals of each client—particularly expats.

With a focus on adults and adolescents, I welcome and respect all forms of diversity, including sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. I work with English-speaking individuals, couples, and families.

Individual Psychotherapy

At some point in life, many individuals face challenges that can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether dealing with personal issues, anxiety, or life transitions, seeking support is an important step toward healing and personal growth.

In individual psychotherapy, I provide a compassionate and confidential space where you can explore your fears, concerns, and frustrations.

Together, we work to address the underlying causes of your distress and develop effective strategies to manage difficult emotions.

My approach fosters trust and openness, aiming to reduce pain and suffering while helping you navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

I offer therapy both in-person in Buenos Aires and online, providing flexibility to suit your needs, whether you are an expat or local.

  • Emotions like anxiety, sadness, and stress are part of everyday life — but when they become overwhelming or persistent, they can interfere with your daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.

    Sometimes, despite being aware that something isn’t right, people find it difficult to change how they feel or cope with certain situations on their own. This is especially true when emotional pain is rooted in deeper experiences, such as past trauma.

    As a licensed psychologist, I provide a safe, confidential space to explore these issues with compassion and care. Many clients seek therapy to work through challenges such as unresolved trauma, relationship difficulties (with partners, family, or friends), ongoing feelings of depression, anxiety, grief, or emotional exhaustion.

    Whether you’re navigating a current crisis or addressing long-standing emotional wounds, therapy can help you process what you’re going through, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward greater emotional clarity and personal growth.

  • Many individuals reach out for psychological support when emotional or situational challenges begin to interfere with daily life or well-being. Some of the most common concerns that lead people to begin therapy include:

    • Anxiety and chronic worry

    • Challenges related to moving abroad or adjusting to a new culture (especially common among expats)

    • Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors

    • Inhibitions and difficulty expressing oneself

    • Persistent sadness or symptoms of depression

    • Lack of motivation or difficulty focusing at work or in academic settings

    • Conflicts in relationships (with partners, family members, or colleagues)

    • Phobias and intense, irrational fears

    • Health-related psychological distress

    • Struggles with major life transitions or adapting to change

    • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the effects of trauma.

    Whether you’re navigating life as an expat or simply facing a difficult moment, therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore these concerns and build lasting tools for emotional well-being.

Couples Therapy

My primary focus is on enhancing communication and improving relationship dynamics. I help partners identify and address negative communication patterns while providing practical tools for better emotional expression. 

  • Many couples, regardless of gender or relationship status, come to therapy when their relationship reaches a critical point. For these couples, therapy often becomes the last hope to “save” their bond. However, issues such as unhappiness and conflict rarely emerge overnight. Instead, they typically result from a prolonged period of frustration, unresolved issues, and long-held grudges.

    In couples therapy, my primary focus is on enhancing communication and improving relationship dynamics. I help partners identify and address negative communication patterns while providing practical tools for better emotional expression. By teaching couples how to communicate more effectively, I guide them toward greater empathy and understanding of their partner’s perspective, even when differences arise.

    Effective couples counseling can empower partners to navigate their challenges constructively, preventing the relationship from becoming symptomatic or damaging to their well-being. My goal is to help couples restore a healthy balance in their relationship, fostering a sense of connection, trust, and mutual respect.

    If you are facing difficulties in your relationship, couples therapy offers a supportive, confidential environment where you can work through your concerns and develop stronger communication strategies. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing conflict or simply want to improve your bond, I provide personalized therapy that addresses your unique needs as a couple.

    Why Choose Couples Therapy with Me?

    • Expert in communication and conflict resolution

    • Safe, empathetic environment for couples of all backgrounds

    • Help with managing differences and building stronger emotional connections

  • Couples seek therapy for a variety of reasons, often during emotionally charged or transitional moments. Some of the most common concerns that lead couples to seek professional support include:

    • Navigating the emotional complexities of adoption or IVF treatments

    • Communication breakdowns or persistent misunderstandings

    • Coping with chronic illness or serious health diagnoses

    • Grieving the loss of a loved one

    • Rebuilding trust after infidelity

    • Addressing sexual concerns or mismatched intimacy needs

    • Disagreements around parenting styles or child-rearing philosophies

    • Managing cultural differences in intercultural or bicultural relationships

    • Challenges related to relocation or migration stress

    • Excessive jealousy, insecurity, or trust-related conflicts

    • Feeling emotionally stuck or at a relationship impasse

    In couples therapy, we work together to understand these challenges, improve communication, and help both partners feel heard, respected, and more connected. Whether you’re in crisis or seeking preventive guidance, therapy can be a supportive step toward a healthier relationship.

  • Navigating a relationship is never simple — and when partners come from different cultural backgrounds, unique challenges can emerge. In my work with cross-cultural couples, I help partners recognize how cultural differences shape their relationship and guide them in developing the communication skills and emotional tools needed to bridge those differences with empathy and respect.

    How Culture Impacts Relationships

    Cross-cultural relationships often progress at a different pace than same-culture relationships. Frequently, one partner may have to relocate to a different country just to explore whether the relationship has long-term potential — sometimes even moving in together before the relationship has had time to settle naturally.

    This shift can create an imbalance: one partner is uprooted from their home, culture, and support system, while the other is suddenly expected to serve as emotional anchor, cultural translator, and guide. These dynamics can lead to stress, dependency, and miscommunication if not addressed.

    Therapy for Cross-Cultural Couples

    Through cross-cultural couples counseling, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for partners to explore these pressures, improve their communication, and strengthen their connection. Whether you’re managing cultural misunderstandings, navigating relocation, or simply seeking a deeper emotional bond, therapy can support your journey toward a more resilient relationship.

Mental Health support for Expats

As a bilingual, English-speaking psychologist with years of experience supporting the international community, I offer mental health care tailored to the needs of expats and globally mobile individuals. I understand how difficult it can be to find a therapist who shares your language, training standards, and cultural background—especially within small expatriate communities where privacy and discretion matter deeply.

I provide individual and couples therapy in a confidential, compassionate, and professional setting—online or in person if you are located in Buenos Aires. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction recovery, or family dynamics, I offer a space to be heard and supported.

In addition to addressing general psychological concerns, I specialize in expat-related challenges such as cultural adjustment, feelings of isolation, identity shifts, and the stress of living far from your home country. I also work with third culture kids, trailing spouses, digital nomads, NGO workers, educators, and retirees navigating life abroad.

My goal is to make professional, clinically licensed psychological support accessible no matter your location. Sessions are conducted securely and with your privacy in mind.
