In-Person Psychotherapy in English in Recoleta

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice, specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy. My work focuses on unconscious processes — such as desires, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions — that can constrain and limit patients’ lives. Through dialogue, we collaboratively identify and address conflictual points and problematic issues affecting their daily lives across emotional, cognitive, and behavioural dimensions. This initial step is crucial for understanding how these conflicts and problems may obstruct one’s ability to enjoy life, form relationships, work effectively, and engage in creative activities.

Conflicts may originate internally, while problematic issues can have external sources. Both internal conflicts and relational issues are explored empathetically during the treatment process. This involves attentive listening, identifying sources of anxiety, recognizing patterns of symptomatic repetition, and addressing inhibitions related to desire.

I offer individual psychotherapy for both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals, available in two modalities: In-person therapy and Online therapy.
