About me
It’s a pleasure to have you here! I’m Carla, a Brazilian psychologist currently based in the Netherlands, with over 12 years of experience in both clinical and organizational settings. My training allows me to provide long-term therapy as well as more focused, short-term approaches. Together, we will determine what works best for you, based on your needs, goals and circumstances.
Taking this first step, asking for help, is often the hardest part. Now that you’re here, I will be by your side, helping you overcome obstacles and build your own set of tools to gain the autonomy to lead your life in the most authentic way possible.
I specialise in contemporary challenges such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and addictions, and I am currently studying the neuroscience of psychiatric disorders.
I deeply value open-mindedness, transparency, and true collaboration. I bring professional expertise, but you are the expert in your own life, and together, we will shape the path that’s right for you.
If you can't find a suitable timeslot in my calendar, please feel free to drop me a message.

Approach
My approach is structured, mindful, and collaborative. We’ll take the time to understand your unique needs, and together, we’ll design a therapeutic plan that supports your growth and autonomy.
In our first sessions, we’ll take the time to get to know each other. I will explain how I work, answer any questions you may have, and carefully assess your needs. Based on this, I will create a personalized therapeutic plan, which I will share with you for your feedback and consent, ensuring we move forward together in a way that feels right for you.
