Today I work in private practice, in Buenos Aires and online, and I collaborate with networks of psychologists responding to emergencies across the region.
Before that, for three years I was National MHPSS Coordinator for the Argentine Red Cross. I trained more than seven hundred people across the country in psychological first aid, suicide prevention, mental health in emergencies and team care. I worked in child-friendly spaces on the border, with migrants and refugees, with people living on the street and with older adults. I spoke at the Global Mental Health Summit, on caring for mental health at work.
Before that I practised at NeuroCare, a leading centre for EMDR and neurotherapies in Buenos Aires.
During the pandemic I was part of the psychosocial support team at Córdoba’s Emergency Operations Centre (COE), accompanying the volunteers of the operation, and I worked at an assistance centre for people living on the street. Alongside that I took part in a research study on migration in Latin America and the Caribbean, and I taught health personnel on diversity and human rights.
I also worked at Sanatorio Privado Alta Gracia, in clinical practice and with inpatients.
For three years, with UNHCR, I accompanied Syrian families resettled in Córdoba after the war.
Before all of that I worked with victims of crime at the Victim Assistance Service of the Ministerio Público Fiscal, at a day hospital with people with substance use problems, and at stimulation centres with children and young people with disabilities. I taught in rural schools, at secondary level and in university teacher training, and ran prevention workshops in primary schools.
I began training in EMDR in 2017, and I’ve applied it ever since, both in clinical practice and in those settings.
