About me

I am a medical doctor with a postgraduate degree in Psychiatry from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. I have diverse experience in mental health, and my practice takes into account the cultural, emotional, and environmental dimensions that influence each person, especially during times of transition and adaptation. I provide services in Portuguese, offering practical tools to help navigate emotional challenges and promote well-being. I moved to Northern Portugal a few years ago, and it’s here that I am now based. My own experience has proven invaluable when working with expatriates, as I understand the challenges of isolation, the need for meaningful connections, and the unsettling difficulty of integration. The diversity of my training has helped me develop a cross-cultural adaptability. Welcome, this is a space of empathetic and respectful support for a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.

My approach to care is grounded in a warm, person-centered approach, where I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to express themselves freely. I prefer to draw from a combination of different theories, as I believe that ‘one size does not fit all.’ Solution-focused techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and behavioral analysis all play a role in helping to understand and alleviate psychological distress.
