I am a licensed psychologist from Brazil with expertise in Psychotherapy, Conflict Resolution, and Crisis Intervention.
I conduct my practice via online video conference, where I establish a secure and welcoming environment for my clients.
I have extensive experience working with diverse individuals from Brazil, Europe, and the United States, including marginalised communities facing social vulnerability, as well as teenagers and adults with late diagnoses of Autism and ADHD. My expertise also includes a profound understanding of various topics, such as social inequality, psychopathology of violence and aggression, discrimination, trauma, stigma, and power dynamics within society.
I passionately uphold the values of diversity and inclusion, ensuring that individuals from every ethnicity, cultural background, political belief, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, physical ability, intellectual ability, and educational background receive the support and care they rightfully deserve.
I have been living a nomadic life in Europe since 2015, which has given me a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges faced by outsiders.
Living across countries and cultures can be both exhilarating and challenging. It can bring freedom, discovery, and growth, but also moments of disorientation, loneliness, and a sense of not fully belonging. As a nomad myself, I understand the emotional landscape of migration, mobility, and cultural transition.
During the psychotherapy sessions, I offer a safe, welcoming space for people navigating international or cross-cultural lives, such as: digital nomads, expatriates, migrants, and third-culture adults. Together, we explore identity, relationships, adaptation, and the search for grounding and belonging. I work with sensitivity to diverse backgrounds, neurodiversity, and social vulnerabilities, honouring your unique story while supporting your personal growth.
This work helps you reconnect with your inner world, understand your patterns, and create a sense of home that travels with you, wherever life takes you.
Community Psychotherapy is offered for those who cannot afford individual psychotherapy. It works like this: I form a group of 3 to 5 people who belong to the same community or share a significant common experience. This may relate to gender, sexuality, nationality, late diagnosis of ADHD and ASD, neighbourhood, school or university, field of work, lifestyle, relationship issues, life paths, grief, frustrated desires, and more. This structure helps create a sense of community among members, easing the loneliness of feeling isolated within your own experience.
Although our experiences are personal and lived individually, people who are part of the same group often resonate with each other’s stories and discover meaningful similarities. Community Psychotherapy provides a supportive space where people can share their experiences, learn from others, and develop new connections that can grow into a support network.
In this intervention, I provide immediate support, including same-day appointments, for individuals facing highly distressing or overwhelming situations. A crisis is any situation in which life feels overwhelming and unmanageable, leaving you feeling helpless, lost, hopeless, or unsafe. Examples include intense anxiety or panic attacks, severe depressive episodes, thoughts of self-harm, traumatic experiences, sudden loss, or extreme stress.
In these moments, I offer a safe and supportive space to help you regain emotional balance, navigate intense emotions, and develop strategies to manage the crisis. This work is typically time-limited, focusing on restoring stability and providing practical tools to cope, while respecting your unique experience and resilience.
Conflict is a natural part of human relationships, but it can be challenging when misunderstandings, differing perspectives, or unmet needs arise. In my work as a mediator, I guide individuals through a supportive process that helps navigate these situations in a constructive, fair, and respectful way, aiming to reach a resolution that works for everyone involved.
It’s important to note that interpersonal conflict mediation is different from couples therapy. While couples therapy focuses specifically on romantic relationships, conflict resolution can be applied to any type of interpersonal relationship, including friendships, family relationships, colleagues, and community members, for example.
Together, we focus on understanding the root causes of the conflict, exploring each person’s perspective, and uncovering underlying interests and emotions. Through open communication and tailored strategies, I help create a space where differences can be acknowledged, tensions addressed, and a resolution can emerge.
