I am a Brazilian qualified clinical psychologist with 17 years of experience in Europe and South America. I have a fluent command of both English and French, and a PhD in Psychology.
With 19 years of experience, I work supporting persons facing troubled situations in everyday life and also to persons suffering different mental disorders.
I work using short and long-term psychodynamic therapy (Psychoanalysis). Psychodynamic therapy is a method that provides coordinates for thinking about the relationship between subjectivity, desire and self-questioning. The effectiveness of psychodynamic therapy has been researched repeatedly in recent decades, showing significant and lasting improvement in symptoms.
