About Me

I am a Brazilian medical doctor and sexologist offering online coaching and psychoeducational support from Portugal. I work mainly with adults and couples who want to understand their sexuality more deeply, reduce shame and build relationships that feel more honest, caring and alive. My background in Psychiatry (PUC-Rio) and Human Sexuality (USP and Universidade de Lisboa) helps me support people facing questions about desire, intimacy, identity and self-worth, including around gender, orientation and relationship patterns. I have a special interest in how migration, culture and past experiences shape the way we show up in our bodies, our pleasure and our connections. In Brazil I practise as a licensed medical doctor. In Portugal and on TherapyRoute, my work is focused on non-medical coaching and psychoeducational support around sexuality and relationships, while any need for diagnosis, medication or psychotherapy is best addressed with local medical and mental-health services.

Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in evidence-based knowledge from psychiatry and human sexuality, always adapted to a coaching and psychoeducational frame rather than medical or psychiatric treatment. We slow down together to name what is happening in your body, thoughts and relationships, and link present struggles to stories you have lived. I pay special attention to how gender, culture, migration, trauma and minority stress shape your experience of desire, pleasure and safety. Sessions are structured as conversations where we explore patterns, experiment with small changes and, when helpful, use brief exercises or reflection between sessions. Within this frame, our work is non-medical: we focus on understanding, language and practical tools so you can make choices that are kinder and more aligned with who you are, while any need for diagnosis, medication or crisis care is best supported by local medical and mental-health services.
