I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina and a Master’s degree in Mental Health from the University of Leon, Spain. I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and a member of the Asosiation Of Counselling Therapy Of Alberta.
​
My career started in Argentina where I was a registered Psychologist. I practiced there for 8 years in a hospital, various mental health centres, at the university and on my private practice. Since the year 2000, I have been practicing as a Counsellor in Canada.
​
In my academic experience, I have taught an advanced clinical course in the School of Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires for 7 years. Since 2012 I have been a field instructor for the University of Calgary's Master of Social Work program. In this role I supervise the students’ advanced clinical practicum.
Working in the mental health profession has always been my passion and after more than 20 years of practicing it still is. Helping my clients make positive changes, heal emotionally, improve their relationships or reach their personal goals makes me feel that I have accomplished something very important in life.
​
I utilize, primarily but not exclusively, theory and interventions from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
