About me

Psychologist and Psychotherapist with a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from ISPA (Superior Institute of Applied Psychology). I specialize in Clinical Psychology, with advanced training in psychotherapy and forensic psychology (crime, justice, law, interventions). I also hold the EuroPsy Specialization Certificate in Psychotherapy.

I am also a certified family mediator by the Portuguese Institute of Family Mediation.

I have experience working with children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly in both psychological assessment and psychotherapeutic support.

I have experience working with children and teenagers who have experienced sexual abuse, juvenile delinquency, or institutionalization. I also have expertise in maternal and child health care (e.g., postpartum depression), attachment, dementia, and child and youth protection systems.

I offer both in-person and video consultations.

My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, depression, relationship difficulties, grief counseling, self-esteem issues, and more. I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment during our sessions, where patients feel safe exploring their challenges and working toward personal growth. Together, we identify unhealthy patterns and promote positive change.

Approach

I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your personal challenges and develop strategies for overcoming them. My approach is grounded in a deep understanding of psychoanalysis and systemic therapy.
