WHAT’S AN INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIST?

It means I views human suffering and growth through the lens of several scientific, psychological, and philosophical perspectives. This ensures we restore inner calm in a timely fashion, while honoring your individual style, pace, and truths.

I come from a lineage of survivors turned advocates, artists, and healers. Born in Argentina and raised in Miami, I enjoy the city but miss the mountains and changing seasons.

My path into psychology began with a natural gift for consoling others and a personal journey through complex trauma. I’m a devoted, humble student of the human experience.

Outside of sessions, I create art inspired by mental health—my own and others’. My daily rhythm includes yoga, slow living, minimalism, and ordinary kindness. I’m also an aspiring micro-dweller with plans to live sustainably and host affordable retreats rooted in nature and community healing.

BIOGRAPHY

I’m a trauma-responsive, feedback-driven clinician with a humanistic approach that blends hard science, psychology, and ancient wisdom. This includes: neuroscience, somatic experiencing, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, container imagery, internal family systems, play therapy, attachment theory, existentialism, and expressive techniques (e.g. art).

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Florida. Additionally, I am certified in Clinical Trauma, Somatic Parts Work, and Play Therapy.
