About me

I'm a clinical psychologist and full member of the Order of Portuguese Psychologists. I consider myself passionate about Psychology and the health sector. I have a master's degree from the University of Coimbra in Clinical and Health Psychology, with a Specialization and Postgraduate Degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies in Psychological and Health Disorders, and i also specialized in the area of pregnancy psychology and the transition to parenthood. My professional experience ranges from children to adults, both in hospital, private and community contexts. My field of intervention is broad, goes from anxiety disorders, depression, relational difficulties, psychological intervention in grief, to self-esteem difficulties, among others. I value a welcoming and supportive environment, which i try to create in the sessions, allowing clients to feel safe exploring their challenges and working towards personal growth, identifying dysfunctional patterns and promoting change. Currently i work in a private practice with adults and in the area of coaching, in an organizational context.
