Psychologists

Many preconceived ideas still surround the profession of psychologist, but consulting a psychologist does not mean being crazy, being sick or being weak, on the contrary. To consult a psychologist is to be aware of your difficulties and to accept that a professional will accompany you through a difficult time in your life.

My clinical training began as an intern in clinical psychology at the psychiatric unit within "Hospital General de Agudos Dr. Teodoro Alvarez" (Buenos Aires, 4years), ending up as Instructor of interns (1 year). Along the following decades, I've been working in the private medical health sector (+10 years) I consider continuous training as the basis of my clinical performance being my practice oriented by evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral treatments (CBT), and neuropsychology applied to mental health problems. During the meetings, a central place is given to defining problems, goals and approaches. As a team of work both client and therapist, work collaboratively with an active participation in the process. I´m a native Spanish speaker. I speak English as a second language and french as a third language. Conventionné.

En tant que psychologue clinicienne, je me suis spécialisée dans l’accompagnement des individus confrontés à des états de crise au cours de leur parcours. La crise se manifeste lorsque l’individu est confronté à des événements, internes ou externes, qui perturbent son équilibre psychique. Elle peut surgir à la suite d’un changement soudain, d’une rupture dans sa vie ou même de l’évolution du comportement d’une personne. Cependant, la crise représente également une opportunité de changement, un moment fécond où des transformations significatives peuvent survenir. Ma pratique psychothérapeutique se concentre sur la prise en charge des individus en proie à des crises émotionnelles et psychologiques, ainsi que des troubles tels que le syndrome d’anxiété généralisée, le syndrome de stress post traumatique, la dépression, le burn-out, et bien d’autres. Je m’engage à offrir un espace thérapeutique sûr et bienveillant où les patients peuvent explorer et comprendre les racines de leur état de tension et de leurs souffrances. Dans un premier temps, nous travaillons ensemble pour identifier les facteurs déclencheurs et les schémas de pensée qui contribuent à ces troubles. En utilisant des techniques de thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (TCC), de la thérapie interpersonnelle, ainsi qu’une approche centrée sur la personne, nous explorons les émotions, les pensées et les comportements associés à ces troubles. Mon objectif est d’aider les patients à développer des stratégies d’adaptation saines et efficaces pour faire face aux défis de la vie et à surmonter ces troubles. Nous travaillons sur la gestion du stress, la résolution de problèmes, la régulation émotionnelle et la construction de ressources internes pour favoriser la résilience. Chaque parcours thérapeutique est unique et adapté aux besoins spécifiques de chaque individu. Ensemble, nous collaborons pour créer un plan de traitement personnalisé qui favorise la croissance personnelle, le bien-être émotionnel à long terme, et la réduction des symptômes associés à ces troubles. Mes services sont destinés aux adultes à partir de l'âge de 17 ans, et je propose également des séances individuelles ou en couple.

Trained in CBT, I specialize in anxiety, mood, OCD, panic, bipolar, and psychotic disorders. Employing a warm, collaborative approach, I aim to equip you with the necessary tools for long-term mental well-being.

Licensed clinical psychologist for children, adolescents and families. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from Lewis & Clark College (Portland, OR, USA) and a master's degree in clinical psychology and psychopathology from the Université libre de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium). I am in the process of obtaining an additional master's degree in neuropsychology and am training in family and systemic psychotherapy. I offer individual, couple or family follow-up on Monday mornings in Mérode and Thursday afternoons/evenings in Messidor. I also offer consultations at home or by videoconference in certain cases individuals (perinatal care, reduced mobility, hospitalization, etc.) Consultations in French and English, by appointment. I adopt an integrative approach to psychotherapy drawing on different trends including psychoanalysis, systemics and person-centered humanist therapies. The proposed follow-up is co-constructed between the patients and myself in the most human, caring way and adapted to the specific needs of people. I am able to think about and work with you on questions related to: • your relationship, your couple • the desire or not desire for a child, medically assisted procreation • perinatal life • parenthood and the family in its variable forms • academic or social difficulties in children or adolescents (harassment, self-esteem, dropping out of school, mental health problems attention or learning, high potential) • difficult transitions (bereavements, separations, life changes) • behavioral disorders • attachment disorders and bonding problems • managing emotions • anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions • gender identity, sexual orientation • migration, socio-cultural adaptation I offer you a space of trust, completely confidential, which adapts to your context, your history and your temporality. A place where everything can be heard, everything can be said, where you can be surprised. By allowing you to put words, we mobilize your resources to try to open paths towards greater autonomy and adaptation. The meeting is privileged and respect, kindness and absence of judgment are law.
