How I work...

My approach is holistic integrating body, mind and spirit in the journey towards wholeness and change.

I work with compassion and intention to support you to discover and listen to your inner truth.

Helping you to reconnect with your body, you will be able to identify your feelings, how to express them and the meaning they hold for you in your life.

Working with each individual client’s story, the intention is to reveal the unconscious material, which influences choices made. We explore your family background to understand its impact on your life and to enable you to recover your sense of self.

Through conversations and questions, we identify the belief systems which influence your interpretations of your experiences and your decision-making.

Background & Experience

I am trained as a Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Family Therapist and have been in private practice since 1985. I have facilitated women’s groups in both Melbourne and the USA.

I integrate a Gestalt, systemic, psychodynamic, cognitive and spiritual approach and employ self-inquiry, guided imagery, role-play and art therapy techniques with each client.

As part of the holistic approach I utilise spiritual practices such as Buddhist meditation and the use of the chakra system to connect with the deeper self. I have been a student of the Diamond Approach for 15 years

I work extensively assisting victims of crime and specialise in issues of trauma resolution, chronic pain management, relationships, couples and family, children and adolescents, grief and loss, eating disorders, anxiety, self-esteem, depression and social phobias. I am also experienced in gay and lesbian issues.

I am bilingual (English and Spanish). Having left Argentina 22 years ago and lived in various countries, I have deepened knowledge around emigration issues, grief and loss, homesickness.
