About me

My path as a psychologist has been shaped by an in-depth engagement with themes such as sexuality, relationships, spirituality, intuition, life transitions, anxiety, depression and the search for connection with nature. I hold a degree in Psychology from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo and have clinical experience working with adolescents and adults in diverse contexts, including public mental health services, institutional care for children and adolescents , the Diversity Reference Center, and early childhood education settings. My research and study journey, during and after my undergraduate training, is grounded in Psychoanalysis, Schizoanalysis, Phenomenology, and Decolonial Psychology. These frameworks are continuously woven into dialogue with the arts and artistic practices, diversity, group processes (and the self within the collective), ancestry, and the body—references that shape and sustain my clinical work. -•- O meu percurso enquanto psicóloga se constrói a partir do aprofundamento em temas como sexualidade, relacionamentos, espiritualidade, intuição, momentos de transição da vida, busca por conexão com a natureza, ansiedade e depressão. Sou formada em Psicologia pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (2021), e possuo experiência clínica com adultos e adolescentes, tendo atuado em diferentes contextos: serviços de saúde mental do sistema público (sus), acolhimento institucional para crianças e adolescentes (saica), no Centro de Referência da Diversidade (crd) e primeira infância em escolas. O meu percurso de pesquisa e estudo, durante e após a graduação, tem base na Psicanálise, Esquizoanálise, Fenomenologia e na Psicologia Decolonial, em diálogo com as artes e o fazer artístico, as diversidades, os grupos (e o eu no coletivo), a ancestralidade e o corpo, referências que formam o meu fazer clínico.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
The core of my work is an invitation to presence with oneself, cultivated through attentive listening to the signals of both body and word. Within the subtlety of feeling and the many layers that compose a life story, we walk through the narrative that stitches lived events together. "How do I tell the story of what happened to me?" It is within this space of self-listening and reflective expansion that affects begin to move, take form, find language, and claim a dignified place of existence. This therapeutic space is rooted in the gentleness of the encounter between psychologist and client. It honors the rhythm and cadence of each individual path, holding as its horizon the meeting with one’s singular and authentic self. -•- O foco do meu trabalho é o convite à presença consigo mesmo, a partir de uma escuta atenta aos sinais do corpo e da palavra. Na sutileza do sentir e das diferentes camadas que compõem uma história de vida, caminhamos pela narrativa que costura os acontecimentos. “Como conto o que aconteceu comigo?” É no espaço da própria escuta e na expansão reflexiva que os afetos se movimentam, ganham forma, nome e encontram um lugar de dignidade de existência. Trata-se de um espaço terapêutico enraizado na gentileza do encontro entre psicóloga e paciente, que respeita o ritmo e a cadência de cada caminhada, tendo como horizonte o encontro com a autenticidade singular de cada um.

Experience

My current professional practice is centered on clinical work, offering individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. Throughout my trajectory as a psychologist, I have worked in diverse settings that have enriched my listening and clinical sensitivity: public mental health services (sus), institutional care for children and adolescents (saica), the Diversity Reference Center (crd), and early childhood education in schools. These experiences have enabled me to cultivate a broadened perspective on the social and subjective complexities of each individual. -•- A minha experiência profissional hoje está focada na clínica, com atendimentos individuais a adolescentes e adultos. Ao longo da minha trajetória como psicóloga, atuei em contextos diversos que enriqueceram minha escuta: serviços de saúde mental do sistema público (sus), acolhimento institucional para crianças e adolescentes (saica), no Centro de Referência da Diversidade (crd) e com a primeira infância em escolas. Essas experiências permitiram-me desenvolver um olhar ampliado para as complexidades sociais e subjetivas de cada sujeito.

Education

My academic journey began in Visual Arts and Theatre, later unfolding into Psychology. Throughout my training in Psychology, I engaged deeply with Phenomenology, decolonial lines of thought, and Psychoanalysis, always in dialogue with art and artistic modes of creation. Near the completion of my five-year training, I felt an urgent call toward embodied practice—toward a living dialogue between thought and everyday experience. This led me to move to an ecovillage in Bahia, Brazil, where I completed my research as a participant observer. Moving between Anthropology, Decolonial Psychology, and Phenomenology, I wrote my final thesis, “Encounters and Living in an Ecovillage: A Perspective on the Potency of Collective Being in the World.” This experience unfolded into an ongoing personal inquiry through visits to ecovillages in Brazil and Europe, allowing me to expand my studies through non-academic and lived perspectives.
