My professional training and clinical experience have been shaped by over two decades of work in Psychology, Psychotherapy, and higher education.
I am a clinical psychologist trained in Brazil, where I completed a Master's degree in Psychology and developed extensive experience in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Throughout my career, I have worked with childrens, adolescents and adults experiencing emotional difficulties, anxiety, and relationship challenges, offering a reflective and supportive therapeutic space.
In addition to my clinical practice, I worked for 10 years as a university lecturer in psychology, teaching subjects related to personality development, psychological assessment, and psychodynamic theory. I was also involved in the clinical training of psychology students, supervising their work with patients in a university clinic.
My professional experience also includes work in psychiatric settings and mental health services, where I collaborated with multidisciplinary teams in the treatment of individuals facing complex psychological and emotional difficulties.
I worked in a specialised school for children with disabilities, where I conducted psychological assessments, prepared diagnostic reports, and provided ongoing psychological support.
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to ongoing learning and professional development, deepening my understanding of human experience and the therapeutic process.
