My work intersects somatic psychology and existential psychotherapy. I work with individuals, couples and families. I have nearly ten years of experience in working with children and teenagers at schools, and also adults in the private, public and charity sectors. Throughout my years working in this field, I have brought innovative psychotherapeutic models for mental and physical health to support individuals, couples and families in Argentina and the UK. I also have experience in the forensic setting working alongside Sussex police providing therapy to offenders using a trauma-informed approach.

I am curious about how you see the world, what matters to you, and how you are feeling physically, mentally and spiritually. Grounded in the idea of holding a warm and non-judgmental space, I’m passionate about looking at a wide variety of tools that might suit you towards growth, healing, transformation and embodied presence. My work is focused on the relationship between body, emotions, thoughts and imagination. As an additional resource, if you are interested in creative writing, drawing or movement, we can explore a world beyond conventional communication that might not be able to be expressed purely through verbal language. I'm also training as an EMDR therapist and can support clients if would like to process memories that have been overwhelming.

I am a psychologist trained in Argentina and a psychotherapist accredited with BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I’m currently in my last year of my doctorate in Counselling Psychology at NSCP/ Middlesex University in London. I also have a certificate on DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) from SDS, Polyvagal Theory in Therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems). In 2018, I also trained in movement-based expressive arts therapy at Tamalpa Institute in California to support clients who are more interested in a more creative approach.
