About me
I am a clinical and hospital psychologist, originally from Brazil. In hospitals and health fields, I have rich experience in perinatal care for pregnant and postpartum women, parents and family members, having my most recent experience as a reference psychologist in a Neonatal Unit. I worked intensively on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic with hospitalized patients and their families. I also have experience in research and psychological support for individuals in the grieving process, as well as psychological support to the treatment of chemical dependency. As a clinical psychologist, I offer online sessions in both Portuguese and English to adolescents, adults and the elderly. I use psychoanalysis as a theoretical approach, under supervision and frequent studies.
I'm a professional with an open and curious mind toward human issues, working with a careful, ethical and empathetic look at the people I attend. I am passionate about various forms of art and expression and strongly believe in the potential of human connections.

Approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychoanalysis, seeking to understand through the expression of language, the nature of your conflicts and symptoms. Based on this understanding, I am here to help you to deal with your current issues, exploring your thoughts, desires and emotions, in order to strengthen your autonomy in life and to build healthier and meaningful ways of living. I aim to provide a safe space where you can feel securely held and supported to express yourself in the richness of your life history and diversity.
Before we start the psychotherapy, we will schedule a 20-30 min free welcome call/initial interview to understand what brought you here and to decide if we can start this process together. Along this call, you can feel free to ask me anything regarding to the therapeutic process and share your feelings and/or expectations. Having done that, we can establish what works best for you, such as the frequency of the sessions, and schedule your next one.
I look forward to welcoming and listening to you!
