About me
Originally from Brazil, I first graduated in Chemical Engineering at the University of São Paulo. During my studies, my own psychotherapeutic experience led me to move to Berlin to pursue a career path that felt more aligned with who I am. After eight years of living here, I have now completed a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin. Throughout these years, I have gained more than 1,000 hours of clinical experience in psychiatric wards and outpatient clinics within the Vivantes Network for Health and at the Charité Medical University Berlin. Now, I am enrolled in a postgraduate licensure training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Institute for Psychotherapy e. V. Berlin, and I aim to draw on both my professional expertise and my lived experience of navigating different cultures in my work as a psychologist.

Approach
I see my work as a relational process grounded in empathy, trust, and authenticity. I offer a professional space where unconscious processes and relational patterns can be explored at a pace that feels meaningful and respectful. Working within a psychodynamic framework, my approach is attentive to each person’s unique experience, with the aim of supporting self-awareness as a basis for more conscious and meaningful relationships.
