Psychotherapy Services in Madrid

I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the particular strain of building a life across cultures and languages. My approach is psychodynamic at its core — trained through the Adult Track at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, with additional training at the William Alanson White Institute in New York and the Institute of Psychoanalysis in London — integrated with attachment theory, contemporary neuroscience, and, where useful, CBT, MBT, and EMDR.
Before private practice, I spent over thirteen years in international clinical research, leading multinational trials in neuroscience and psychiatry. That background shapes how I think about cases — rigorously, and with an eye for what the research actually supports.
Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Russian, online or in person in the Retiro district of Madrid.

Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy can help when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or notice recurring patterns in your relationships, work, or emotional life. Together we explore not only the current difficulty but the underlying processes that keep shaping it.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, life transitions, and the specific psychological challenges of living or working internationally — expat adjustment, cultural displacement, identity shifts that come with moving countries or careers.
My approach is primarily psychodynamic, informed by attachment theory and contemporary neuroscience, aimed at meaningful and lasting psychological change rather than short-term symptom management.
Sessions available online and in person, in English, Spanish, or Russian.
Couples Therapy
Relationships often become difficult not because partners stop caring about each other, but because they get trapped in repetitive patterns of communication, conflict, or emotional distance.
I help couples understand these patterns, improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate major life transitions together.
Couples come to therapy for many reasons — recurring conflict, intimacy difficulties, intercultural or bilingual relationships, parenting challenges, infertility, illness, or significant changes within the family.
Sessions available online and in person, in English, Spanish, or Russian.
Clinical Consultation for Psychologists
Psychologists and psychotherapists sometimes need a space to think through their clinical work — especially with complex cases, therapeutic impasses, or emotionally demanding situations that are hard to fully process alone.
I offer individual clinical consultation focused on case formulation, psychodynamic understanding of the therapeutic relationship, professional development, and reflective practice.
What makes this consultation distinct is the combination behind it: psychodynamic training, a clinical psychology and neuroscience research background, and over a decade leading multinational clinical trials across neurology and psychiatry — including Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and other complex neuropsychiatric conditions. Few consultants bring both the depth of psychoanalytic thinking and this level of exposure to clinical research methodology and international healthcare systems. If your case sits at the intersection of psychological complexity and medical or research context, this is where that combination is useful.
Consultations available online, in English, Spanish, or Russian.
