Work HistoryI grew up and was partly educated in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a culturally-induced regard and appreciation for psychotherapy and the therapeutic process. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Addiction Studies from UM, and I completed my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at St. Thomas University. I have studied, as well as applied, the teachings of Gabor Mate on trauma and grief, Murray Bowen theory and practice on Family Systems, Daniel Goleman on emotional intelligence, and Mark Wolynn’s work on inherited family dysfunction. Over a period of ten years, I attended the PEER Counseling Training Program, developed for counselors and therapists involving neurolinguistics and Experiential Therapy concepts and techniques. Particularly geared towards working with difficult emotions, the training involves an integrated approach; working with the body (somatic), feelings (affective), and thought (cognitive), to facilitate neuro-emotional change and bring both mind and body more fully into the process.
