About me

I have been working with couples and families since 2010, when I was still in psychology school and doing my training as a clinical psychologist. After graduating, I completed a specialization in Couple and Family Psychoanalysis and continued seeing patients in my private practice and at the Couples Therapy Laboratory at the University of São Paulo.

After eight years of in-person clinical practice in São Paulo, I had the opportunity to move to another country, and with that, I transformed the format of my clinic, and today I work exclusively remotely (online). Moving to another country also opened a new horizon for my clinical practice, and I added the element of interculturality to my studies and practice.

In 2025 I completed my training in Intercultural Psychology, and today I see myself as a well-qualified professional to advise couples facing various types of situations: moving to another country; intercultural marriage; intercultural parenting; parenting abroad; marital expectations; divorce proceedings; etc.

Currently, I offer a unique service related to parenthood, which is a 12-session mentorship program entitled "The Arrival of the Baby," in which I prepare the couple, both in joint and individual sessions, for the most intense and complex time they will go through, both in their personal lives and in their marriage. Contact me for more information.

My theoretical framework is based on Psychoanalysis. During my sessions, I hear carefully and contribute for the personal development of my client. I know my purpose in this profession and I am very glad to use my knowledge to help others and provide a better life and mental health for the ones who choose me as a therapist. I believe deeply that my knowledge and background can provide the necessary tools for couples who are facing issues. I speak three languages, what is a plus to work with intercultural couples.

Approach

Treatment Approaches

Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.

CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.

Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.

PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.

I have a psychoanalysis background: since the University, it was a guide to my therapy. Once the world has changed so much in the last decades, I understood that is important to modify our perspective, to be more aligned with the new demands. People today don't want to talk and have no feedbacks and exchanges. So, in my sessions, I priorize the speech of my pacient, but I also contribute a lot, building together a nice and welcoming place - even online. I am always open to hear about any particularity, without any kind of judgment and prejudice.

Services

Intro Call

Free • 30 min • Online

An initial, no-obligation contact, so we can get to know each other, I can understand why you're seeking my services, and I can also introduce myself. I believe a good connection between therapist and patient is fundamental for the successful development of the process. This is not included in the mentorship program.

Mentoring

€75 • 1 hr • Online

"The Arrival of a Baby": specialized mentoring program focused on working with couples, both together and individually, in preparation for the arrival of a baby. During the mentoring, I present data and facts related to parenthood, and together we work on ideas and expectations so that, when the baby arrives, the couple feels more secure about what to expect from this moment and how to handle the inherent challenges. Twelve sessions in total, offered in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Single-session Therapy

€75 • 50 min • Online

Nowadays, it's very common to have moments when something very specific drains our energy and puts us in a distressing situation where the paths forward seem unclear. Long-term therapy doesn't seem appropriate due to the urgency and focus of the situation. In these cases, single-session therapy can be extremely valuable. Easy and quick access to a space where the focus is on solving a specific problem. *Free inicial session is not included on this service.
