About me

Clinical Psychologist & Psychoanalyst in Training "Where words fail, the unconscious speaks; our task is to listen." I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (CRP 04/62967) and a Psychoanalyst in training at the Psychoanalytic Circle of Minas Gerais (CPMG). My clinical practice is rooted in a Lacanian orientation, focusing on the singular ways each subject navigates the complexities of the human condition. My professional path is defined by a deep commitment to the social determinants of mental health. For four years, I have worked at the frontline of specialized social services, dealing with complex trauma and extreme vulnerability. Additionally, my experience as a council member for the Municipal Social Assistance Council (CMAS) informs my clinical perspective on the impact of social structures on the individual. I also have extensive experience across diverse mental health services, providing care for people from all walks of life. This has deepened my understanding of how mental health intersects with daily life and the importance of a comprehensive approach to mental disorders. As a fluent English speaker, I provide a culturally sensitive and inclusive space for individuals worldwide. My practice is guided by an ethical commitment to help people listen to what insists in their symptoms and find more authentic ways to navigate life and inhabit their own desire.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
My practice is grounded in the psychoanalytic method, which prioritizes a singular listening of each subject's history and the particularity of their speech. Unlike standardized treatments, psychoanalysis focuses on the emergence of the unconscious, allowing for the investigation of the subjective repetitions and symptoms that produce suffering. In our work, I provide a stable and non-judgmental space where speech is directed toward uncovering the unconscious logic behind one's own desires and the impasses of everyday life. My clinical experience is deeply informed by the structural study of trauma and its social determinants, a perspective shaped by years of work with diverse populations. This background is particularly relevant for those navigating profound identity transitions or complex subjective conflicts, where the intersection of personal history and social reality is often a site of significant impasse. The goal of our sessions is not to provide ready-made answers, but to support you in the process of articulating what is often unsayable, helping you to reposition yourself in relation to your own history and the challenges of contemporary life.
