About me

My journey in psychology is driven by a deep fascination with human resilience and the transformative power of the therapeutic bond. With a clinical background spanning both public healthcare and private practice, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse walks of life. During my time at the Sete Rios Health Center, I worked within a fast-paced primary care setting, which sharpened my ability to provide effective, evidence-based interventions for a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Currently, I dedicate my practice to helping adults and young people navigate the complexities of modern life. Whether it is managing the weight of anxiety, moving through grief, or healing from developmental trauma, my goal is to help you process these experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable. My previous experience as a high-performance athlete in volleyball has also uniquely shaped my clinical approach, giving me a practical, first-hand understanding of discipline, emotional regulation, and the mental strength required to overcome adversity.

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.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.

I believe that the most vital tool in therapy is the relationship we build together. I see the therapeutic process not as a clinical checklist, but as a shared journey where we walk as 'travel companions'. My approach is integrative, meaning I don't believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. Instead, I tailor my methods to your unique personality, history, and goals, drawing from various therapeutic lenses to best support your growth. In our sessions, we will focus on the 'here-and-now,' exploring how your current thoughts and feelings are connected to your broader life story. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and authentic space where you feel truly heard. Together, we will work to identify the patterns that may be holding you back, developing practical tools to manage symptoms while also diving deeper into self-discovery. My aim is to empower you to reclaim your sense of agency and find a path forward that feels meaningful and aligned with who you truly are.
