About Ines:
ABOUT ME
I grew up and began my training in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I was deeply influenced by South American culture and its emphasis on flexibility and adaptation. At the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), I was trained in psychodynamic models, including the works of Freud and Lacan, which provided me with a strong foundation in traditional psychoanalytic theory.
After moving to San Francisco to stay at the forefront of psychological research, I pursued further training at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. There, I expanded my expertise in evidence-based treatments, integrating scientifically proven approaches into my work. This combination of foundational and modern methods has shaped me into a adown-to-earth and efficient therapist, who uses scientifically proven approaches, based on the needs and preferences of my clients. I focus on building strong relationships and providing a space where, together, we can assess, develop and implement a plan to get you to where you want to be.
As a former athlete, I enjoy working with sports performance, athletes and perfectionism. I enjoy working with executives and high-performing individuals, helping them manage stress, find balance, and develop new coping strategies for fuller lives.
I have over 18 years of experience working with adults and teenagers. I enjoy working with new families adjusting to parenthood and people experiencing different difficulties like stress and anxiety, marriage and divorce, behavioral/emotional issues, and trauma. I have also worked extensively with teens and young adults navigating a wide range of issues such as school and relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, gender and sexual identity, medical trauma, substance abuse, depression, psychosis, chronic trauma, and PTSD.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones outdoors and, preferably, under the sun. =)
