I am a psychologist graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Ispa. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Emotional Health for Babies, Children, Young Adults and Families from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.

      Before dedicating myself to clinical psychology, I worked in human resources at multinational companies. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to live in four countries: the United States, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and, finally, Portugal. This experience broadened my perspective on the diverse ways of living, relating, and building one's own story.

      Migration, with its practical, subjective, and relational challenges, deepened my sensitivity to the processes of change, loss, and rebuilding that many people go through in life. This journey has contributed to a clinical practice marked by attention to each person's uniqueness and by empathy in the face of the complexity of human experience.

      I work with adolescents and adults navigating moments of existential questioning and relationship challenges. These issues are often linked to life transitions, family ties, or multicultural experiences.

     I also work with people with Borderline Personality Disorderusing DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) techniques to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal relationships.

     My work is guided by a systemic approachintegrating DBT tools when necessary, and I offer a space for reflection grounded in clinical responsibility, assertiveness, and respect for each person's pace and individuality.
