About me

I've been living in different cities in Portugal, where I've studied and worked for the most recent years. I do believe in the power of expression and community, through words and essentially throughout our body. That's why I've been connected to expressive arts, focusing more on the field of theatre. I value discovering more about the world: the one that we see and the one that we don't see, but we can feel.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CFT: Compassion-focused therapyRecommended for those who want to be kinder to themselves and reduce negative self-talk, often using mindfulness techniques.
Group therapyRecommended for those who want to work through their challenges in a supportive group setting and learn from others who share similar experiences.

I'm a trained clinical psychologist. I've start on the research field, in Neuropsychology. My way was then directed to the clinical setting, where I was trained in Therapies of Third Generation, LGBTQIA + people and expressive therapies (Therapeutic Playback Theatre). I consider, in session, to use an integrative approach.
