About me

As a clinical psychologist from Portugal, my journey into the field of psychology began at a young age, driven by a desire to leverage my skills in a meaningful profession. Psychology was always my first choice, and throughout my college years, I gained valuable experience working as an educational assistant and participating in a diverse range of observational internships with various populations.

I completed my master’s degree with distinction, dedicating my thesis to the exploration of online dependencies. This academic achievement paved the way for my current role as a researcher, where I study the psychological challenges faced by children, adolescents, and young adults.

In parallel with my research career, I embarked on my clinical psychology journey through an internship in a national program that offers free psychological counseling to youth. This experience allowed me to assist young individuals in navigating developmental and environmental challenges. Since completing my junior year, I have continued to grow as an independent psychologist, consistently upgrading my knowledge through various training opportunities.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.

As a practicing clinical psychologist, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. My approach is integrative, blending techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Above all, I prioritize the quality of the therapeutic relationship, guided by the core values of empathy, unconditional acceptance, and congruence, believing that these are fundamental to fostering lasting change and well-being.
