I was born in Buenos Aires, where I became a psychologist and gained work experience in the educational and the organizational field. I moved to Spain to complete a Master´s degree and a PhD, specializing myself in my greatest vocation: childhood and education. Since then, I´ve visited dozens of schools around the world, conducting research and intervention programs in cases of emotional and learning needs.

I also enjoy supporting teenagers and adults through life transitions and help them attain significant emotional growth. I am trained in positive psychology, as well as in personality disorders, anxiety and depression.

My vast training along with my professional and personal experience enable me to have a holistic perspective on the development of the personality, the resolution of conflicts and the achievement of happiness.
