About me

I was born in Brazil into families with intercultural background, therefore beyond being a Portuguese native speaker and speaking other languages as well, it has also taught me to deal with multicultural issues. After coming to Berlin and working as a psychologist for over 10 years, I was able to share the gained experience helping other migrants with their challenges.

I have over 12 years of experience providing psychological counselling to adolescents, adults, and educators, who challenge daily problems, such as conflicts and crises at work, school, relationships or family, transitions and changes, migration, self-identity, stress, anxiety, professional orientation, addiction, and depression.

After I finished my graduation and psychological training residency at Santa Casa Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and my Master at University of Sao Paulo, I first used to work mostly with adolescents and parents. Later, working as a psychologist and counselor in Berlin I also provide psychological assessments and counselling to adults, families, and educators, as well supervision for companies and educationals institutions.

Clinic location: Prenzlauer Berg (Zionskirchstr. 35) and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf at S-Savignyplatz (Bleibtreustr. 10)

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
I understand that everyone is unique and has its own way, dynamic and tools to overcome challenges. That is why I search together with each client the appropriate psychological counselling approach according to particular and specific needs.

In my psychological practice one of my main concerns is to provide a space of comfort and trust where people can talk, open up, and be heard without judgment and partialities. As a psychodynamic and systemic psychologist, I understand people in their relationship and communication with others, with the environment and with themselves. At my practice I seek to accompany the clients to learn more about themselves and search solutions for their problems, considering their own resources, needs and personally identities as well their environmental contexts.

For the moment I offer online and personal sessions in Prenzlauer Berg (Zionskirchstr. 35) and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (Bliebtreustr. 10).
