Spanish & English Counseling

Relationships & Migration process

I am a Psychologist originally from Argentina, working from an Integrative approach based mainly on Behavioral Science (CBS - CBT), Neuroscience & Compassion-based therapies, selecting the most appropriate for each particular client.

I currently work with the expat community, supporting them in their difficulties during the adaptation process, as well as in relationship issues, trying together to cultivate a more fulfilling life by increasing self-awareness, acquiring tools to better manage emotions, and building satisfying relationships with oneself and others.

I am trained and have worked as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, assisting people with diverse problems such as anxiety and emotional regulation, relationships and attachment issues.

Expatriation Process

Expatriation is not just a logistical move; it is a profound attachment injury (loss of your "safe base," culture, and social network) and a crisis of identity (who am I in this new context?).

“I hate it here, why is this so hard? I feel drained, I think I made a mistake.”

From lost to grounded

We work on learning emotional regulation tools that help you to better cope with anxiety and overwhelm.

“I feel lonely and disconnected. I don’t feel at home anywhere anymore.”

Relationships and loneliness

We work on rebuilding your sense of emotional safety: your external support system an internal 'Safe Base'.

“I don’t know who I am here. I’m just a trailing spouse or the expat employee.”

The identity rebuilder

We work from feeling lost, without compass or purpose to build the life that aligns with who you truly are.

  • "I contacted Agustina because I felt overwhelmed and I was struggling with sleeping. I had moved to Germany, became a dad, COVID situation, left my job…everything was a lot. She supported and guided me in how to re-establish the order in my life. She taught me techniques that were very helpful and how to connect more with myself. "

  • "Agustina fue mi psicoterapeuta durante mi internación en mi tratamiento por adicciones. Fue un pilar en mi tratamiento, siempre ahí confiando en que yo podía. Me ayudó a recuperar no sólo mi salud sino mi vida…volví a mi familia, a salir a la calle sin atentar contra mi y pude terminar el colegio. Eternamente agradecido."

  • "First time I reached Agustina I was lost. I had no energy to do anything, even to go out of home. She helped me to believe in myself again and always was there to support and push me every time a little more to move on and follow my dreams. I really thank her for giving me the tools to take care of myself and handle my difficulties."

About me

I was born and raised in Argentina where I worked as a clinical psychologist, primarily with anxiety and emotional regulation, relationships, and attachment issues. 

I emigrated to Spain, then to Germany and now to Switzerland, circumstances that allowed me to develop a deeper self-knowledge, learn from adversity and rebuild my life.

I have experience working with diverse cultures and backgrounds, and I try to bring to my sessions the empathy that my own process of adaptation in different countries has given me.
