A successful therapy process begins with a solid relationship between therapist and client. Because of that, I dedicate the necessary time and care to truly get to know you: your life story, the challenges you are currently facing, and the strategies you have already tried. All of this is grounded in genuine, empathetic presence. If you have never tried therapy before, you might imagine a very static therapist with a neutral face, quietly taking notes. That is not my style. I prefer to respond authentically and be fully present in the room with you. My work often focuses on the present moment and your current life struggles, while also understanding them within your broader life context. Rather than labeling thoughts, emotions, or behaviors as “problematic,” I am interested in understanding what function they serve in your life. What are they protecting? What are they trying to solve? Many people come to therapy already aware of their patterns and difficulties, yet feeling stuck when it comes to real change. Insight is important, but it is often not enough on its own. In our work together, I combine open-hearted presence with evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, FAP, and Schema Therapy to help you develop personalized and practical ways of responding to life’s challenges. Therapy becomes a space where we can experiment with new possibilities, strengthen flexibility, and move toward what truly matters to you.

I keep my private practice since 2019, initially only offline work in Brasilia, and moved to a hybrid practice since 2020. Since December 2025, I have been working at Sabjanics Medical Center, in Budapest. I have previously worked in clinics such as Melvi Saude, Ação Positiva, Instituto Brasiliense de Análise do Comportamento, as well as in hospitals in Brasília as an Intensive Care Unit Psychologist.

I am currently working toward certification as a Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) trainer and a Schema Therapy consultant. In recent years, I have completed trainings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and FAP through the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science and the Power to Live Institute (UK). Additionally, I am a PhD candidate in Behavioral Psychology at Eötvös Loránd University (2023–2027), where I also earned my Master’s degree in Clinical and Health Psychology (2023). I completed a postgraduate degree in Clinical Neuropsychology in Brazil at the Institute of Behavior Analysis of Brasília (IBAC, 2019). Lastly, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in Brazil at the Centro Universitário do Distrito Federal (2014–2018). I am registered as a Psychologist with the Regional Psychology Council of Brasília (CRP 01/21624).
