About me

I am a Portuguese psychologist, born in Angola, with full fluency in English and a deep appreciation for multicultural perspectives. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in Psychodynamic Therapy, which I completed two years ago. This advanced training has provided me with a profound understanding of the human psyche and the intricacies of therapeutic relationships.

Currently, I work at a clinic in Portugal, where I have expanded my expertise by integrating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy into my practice. This dual approach allows me to adapt my therapeutic interventions to the unique needs of each individual, fostering growth and resilience in my clients.

My journey as a psychologist is driven by a commitment to creating meaningful connections and empowering those I work with to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and clarity.

In my approach, I dedicate ample time to thoroughly analyze and evaluate each individual.
