“"I am a Clinical Psychologist registered (CRP 06/101877) with 7 years of experience and an academic background dedicated to mental health and social suffering. I hold a PhD in Mental Health, featuring a doctoral research period in Italy, where I specialized in substance use disorders and severe psychological distress through the lenses of Health Psychology, Social Psychology. My clinical practice is integrative and pluralistic, combining the structured framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the depth of Schizoanalysis and a strong theoretical foundation in Psychoanalysis (Freud, Winnicott and Bion). As a specialist in Human Sexuality, I have extensive experience supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals in social vulnerability and lately migration with the perspective of Intercultural Psychology. This diverse toolkit allows me to offer versatile interventions, ranging from Psychological First Aid and Brief Therapy to Long-Term Psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in ethics, intersectionality, and scientific evidence—supported by several peer-reviewed publications. I provide a sensitive, non-judgmental space attentive to the complexities of the human experience.”
About Me
I am a registered clinical psychologist based in Pinheiros, São Paulo, Brazil. I provide individual therapy and personal development for addiction, sexuality, gender issues, life transitions, stress, and cross-cultural challenges.
Approach
My practice is based on promoting mental health using tools from different psychological approaches such as Psychodinamic Psychology, Social Psychology, Schizoanalysis and Intercultural Psychology.
I believe that recovering from crises and living with suffering can go hand in hand with autonomy and emancipation, which is the core of the Recovery approach. My goal is to encourage more and more people to live in an emancipated way, despite everyday difficulties and life changes.
If you are experiencing big life changes or seeking support during difficult times and also desire changes in the way you live, psychotherapy based on Psychology, Culture, Subjectivities in Global Contexts can be a powerful tool to promote your mental and overall health. Together, we can build new ways of living, focusing on your strengths and abilities rather than limitations.
