As a therapist, writing about yourself is a little strange. We are trained, in many ways, to remain a blank canvas for our clients. But after years of practice — and a lifetime of moving between worlds — I've come to believe something different. So — who will I show up as, during a session with you?

Where the story begins

I grew up between very different landscapes and atmospheres. Rural and urban, silence and noise, nature and city, dry and humid — I learned early that I would never fully belong to one world. And that was not a loss. It was a kind of training. Living at the threshold of different realities shaped my capacity to hold contradictions, to read difference as gift, and to believe that the places where distinct worlds meet are where communities — and people — most come alive.

I trained as a psychologist in Mendoza, Argentina, in the tradition of Lacanian psychoanalysis — drawn to the mystery of the unconscious, to desire, to the radical uniqueness of each person's inner world. But the work inside an office felt too small. I had grown up watching my parents advocate for humanitarian and political causes, and something in me needed to go further — to encounter human transformation directly, across cultures, climates, and circumstances. So I left.

For ten years, I traveled across continents. I learned what displacement does to the body. What belonging — and its absence — does to the self. I was one of them — had been, in one way or another, since childhood.

Eventually the pilgrimage brought me to California, to CIIS, and to a training that integrated what I had always sensed but couldn't yet name: that healing is not only psychological — it is relational, somatic, spiritual, and ecological. The world is always in the room.

I now practice in the Bay Area as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I work in English and Spanish.
