“Brazilian Licensed Psychologist (CRP active). Online therapy in Portuguese for Brazilians living abroad worldwide. Specialized support for anxiety, emotional overload, life transitions, cultural adaptation and relationship stress.”
About Me
Living abroad can be exciting, but it can also bring loneliness, anxiety, emotional pressure and identity changes.
I offer a safe and culturally sensitive space where Brazilians can speak Portuguese freely and feel understood without having to explain their culture.
My work focuses on emotional clarity, anxiety management and helping clients navigate life transitions with more stability and confidence.
Sessions are online and last 50 minutes.
Approach
My work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a humanistic and collaborative approach. Together we identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier perspectives and build practical strategies for emotional regulation, boundaries and self-confidence. Sessions are structured but respectful of each client's personal history and life context.
