Lacanian orientation
I am a Brazilian psychologist working within a Lacanian psychoanalytic framework. I hold a degree in psychology from Northumbria University and am a member of Escola Letra Freudiana in Rio de Janeiro. Based in Berlin, I offer sessions in Portuguese and English, and speak German at a B2 level. Sessions are available online or in person in Schöneberg or Neukölln. I also teach in the Applied Creative Psychology MA programme at Catalyst.
Sessions last around 45 minutes and take place weekly, in person or online. I offer a sliding scale of session fees for those in vulnerable situations. My practice is grounded in the Lacanian tripod: personal analysis, regular supervision, and sustained practice.
In 2023, I joined Wellcome Lichtenberg, a support initiative for families in the early stages of parenthood, often women navigating significant identity shifts while living far from familiar networks. This environment has brought me into close contact with questions of displacement and the emotional intensity that can accompany such transitions.
During my MSc in Psychology, I researched the concept of “home” for immigrants in Germany. Because of my corporate background, many of my research participants were ex-colleagues who relocated to Germany for work. During this period, I began my formation at Letra Freudiana, a Lacanian school in Rio de Janeiro, where I deepened my engagement with psychoanalytic theory and practice.
