I have been working in the Psychological field for 20 years, both in Argentina, New Zealand and Italy. I offer psychological services, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families.

My academic experience includes a position as a lecturer at the Department of Psychoanalysis at the JF Kennedy University, Argentina. Within that role I was involved in developing professional, management and academic activities. My duties included the development of papers and programmes within the department of Psychoanalysis, the implementation of professional development activities for staff, integration of staff research and training, implementation of evaluation systems for students, internal liaison with other departments and external liaison with other universities, professional bodies and professional associations. I also published widely in the area of clinical, cultural and applied psychoanalysis.
.
When I moved to New Zealand in 1999, I found my passion for academic roles to be in different avenues, which kept my studies, research, publishing and teaching alive. I have been presenting my research in different settings which includes, nationally, NZAP, AUT Forum, AFCP, Auckland University, CLA and private practice, and internationally in conferences in Australia and Argentina.

Other academic and clinical achievements include, registration as a New Zealand Clinical Psychologist; member of the New Zealand Psychological Society, founder member and current director of the Center for Lacanian Analysis, member of New Zealand Institute of Pychoanalytic Psychotherapy, member of the Psychoanalytic Psychotheray Association of Australasia and member of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists.

I have establish over the years a wide professional network with academics and clinicians internationally, including professionals from New Zealand, Argentina, Australia, England, Brazil and Italy and France.
