I bring over 15 years of professional experience across various mental health contexts. I offer therapy in both English and Portuguese. Throughout my career, I've provided psychological support in private and community settings, mental health and inpatient specialized centers.

I hold a Bachelor's and Master's in Clinical and Health Psychology from the University of Lisbon since 2008, a PhD in Public Mental Health from NOVA University of Lisbon since 2016, and a post-doctorate from the Champalimaud Foundation, where I focused mainly on the psychological resilience of breast cancer patients.
