About Me
I am a clinical psychotherapist with over twenty years of experience accompanying individuals in achieving deeper understanding, emotional healing, and more conscious, meaningful lives.
My work is rooted in a deep respect for the human psyche — not only its suffering, but its extraordinary intelligence. I have always been fascinated by the way the mind protects us, adapts, and seeks balance, even in adversity. This curiosity became a vocation: to study the inner world with rigor, and to sit with others in the vulnerable, transformative process of understanding themselves.
My work is grounded in a profound respect for the intelligence of the human psyche. I am continually moved by the mind’s capacity to adapt, to protect, and to reorganize itself in the presence of attuned relationship. What began as intellectual fascination evolved into a lifelong commitment to understanding the mechanisms of emotional suffering — and the conditions required for true repair.
I earned my first Master’s degree in Psychology from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, specializing in Clinical Psychology with formal training in Psychodynamic Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I later completed a second Master’s degree in Clinical Psychoanalysis at the Central American University of Social Sciences in Costa Rica, deepening my expertise in unconscious processes, attachment, and relational trauma.
Over the years, I have integrated advanced studies in neuroscience and neuropsychology into my clinical work, bridging psychodynamic thought with contemporary research on the nervous system. My training also includes mindfulness-based and meditation-informed approaches, allowing for work that is both analytically rigorous and physiologically grounded.
Becoming a mother eight years ago expanded my professional lens in unexpected and profound ways. It led me to deepen my study of child development, attachment, and emotional regulation. I trained in the Conscious Discipline model and currently collaborate with a school supporting teachers in its implementation, contributing to emotionally informed classroom environments. This experience reinforced my conviction that early relational patterns shape the architecture of the developing brain — and that intentional repair is always possible.
My clinical experience spans psychiatric institutions, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and long-term private practice. I have also worked extensively in social programs alongside the Salesian community and the Italian NGO Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo, supporting children and adolescents in vulnerable contexts, including survivors of abuse, in collaboration with governmental institutions in Bolivia and UNICEF. These experiences strengthened my ability to work across cultural contexts and with complex trauma presentations.
This year, I completed a Master’s degree in Emotional Intelligence Coaching for Adolescents and Youth. I work with young athletes and high-achieving adolescents, supporting the development of emotional regulation, discipline, resilience, and identity consolidation. I hold adolescence as a critical developmental threshold — one that, when properly supported, becomes a foundation for lifelong psychological strength.
Brain on Love represents the integration of these experiences. It reflects my clinical philosophy: that healing is both relational and neurobiological; that safety reorganizes the nervous system; and that symptoms are not pathologies to be suppressed, but intelligent expressions of the psyche seeking integration.
During the pandemic, I transitioned my practice to an online format, expanding access while preserving depth and containment. I have found that meaningful therapeutic work transcends physical setting. When the relational field is attuned, transformation occurs — whether in person or through a screen.
Across all stages of life and clinical contexts, my approach remains anchored in one principle: the symptom is an intelligent creation of your psyche. When we approach it with precision, respect, and curiosity, it becomes the doorway to lasting change.
This is my passion and my expertise.
