Spanish & English Counseling

Relationships & Migration process

I am a Federal Registered Psychologist in Switzerland originally from Argentina, now practicing in Zürich. My career has been defined by a global journey through Argentina, Spain, Germany and Switzerland—a path that has not only shaped my clinical expertise but has given me a deep, personal understanding of the complexities of the migration process.

I specialize in supporting the international community, helping individuals navigate the psychological and emotional challenges of adaptation, identity, and relationship difficulties. 

My goal is to work collaboratively with you to cultivate a more fulfilling life by increasing self-awareness, managing difficult emotions, and building secure, satisfying connections with yourself and others.

What I work with

  • The “Invisible Guest”

    Overcome the emotional strain of extended family pressure, societal and cultural expectations.

    Decoding the Cultural Blueprint

    Break language barriers and cultural misunderstandings to deepen intimacy.

    Navigating Attachment Styles

    Build a secure bond where you and your partner feel safe exploring your new life together.

  • From lost to grounded

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

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

    Relationships and loneliness

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

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

    The identity rebuilder

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

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

The approach

I work from an integrative perspective, rooted in Behavioral Neuroscience, Attachment Theory, and Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS).

I strive to create a space that is non-judgmental, relaxed, and collaborative. Having lived and worked across diverse cultures, makes me believe there is no "one-size-fits-all" model; instead, I try to adapt my technical training and personal empathy to meet the unique needs of each person I support.

My view

I view therapy as a learning-driven place where we can explore your life history to understand your patterns, acquire practical tools for emotional regulation, and move toward the things that truly matter to you.

Background

My clinical foundation began in Argentina as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, focusing on anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and substance use, where I specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Over the years, my practice evolved in Europe, first Spain where I also trained and worked as a Licensed Health Psychologist, then Germany, where I deepened my training in Relationship therapy models, Life Coaching and Contextual Behavioral Therapy. This allowed me to bridge the gap between traditional clinical support and a values-driven, proactive approach to life’s challenges.
