About the Practice
Founded on the ethical principles of psychoanalysis and focus on the realities that can unite us only by acknowledging our individuality, the approach taken is dedicated to listening fully to the person. This space for self-expression provides an opportunity to reflect in one's life in order to bring about a tangible and lasting improvement in one's living conditions.
Journey and Mission
A psychoanalyst born in Bogotá, I completed my higher education in France. In my practice, clients benefit from my unwavering attentiveness and, through conversation, are able to give voice to the complexities of their private lives.
Focusing on Freudian, Reichian and Lacanian approaches, my research brings classical psychoanalytic theory into dialogue with the latest trends in anthropology and gender studies. In the 21st century, this research informs a major theoretical imperative: to examine one’s own place within society, in order to forge a way forward amidst a world beset by the threat of war, the climate crisis, the erosion of meaning and mass-media saturation, amongst other challenges.
A writer in my spare time, my clinical approach is also enriched by literature and cinema, drawing material from the analysis of myths and encounters with others.
"Do not pass by the oasis without stopping to drink".

Analytical Approach
The psychoanalytic practice offers a space for anyone wishing to equip themselves with the tools to understand the situation they find themselves in.
A session may be structured around a single sentence one moment, or a memory the next; it draws on the stream of consciousness to bring the subject to the fore and shed light on their internal conflicts. The consultation provides a respite from the demands of everyday life; it is a time to reflect on oneself in a safe space, centred on the issues that trouble you, the thoughts that haunt you and, ultimately, that feeling that your life could be far more fulfilling.
My approach is non-medical: I do not make diagnoses, as in psychiatry, nor do I carry out assessments, as practised in psychology and the latest forms of behaviourism. The person who comes to my practice possesses their own faculties and personal strengths which, with my support, may lead them to a tangible improvement in their living conditions.
