About Me

As a licensed Brazilian psychotherapist, I offer a unique perspective to our work together. My diverse background as a lawyer, psychologist, and medical student allows me to understand the intricate connections between your emotional well-being and life's complexities. I guide clients in exploring challenges with a grounded, comprehensive approach. This blend of insights provides a supportive space for those seeking a broad, informed understanding of their experiences.

Approach

My varied training helps shape how we approach each session: thoughtful, precise and attentive to your whole context. I work with adults, couples and parents in Belo Horizonte and online, offering sessions in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. Sessions are collaborative, combining reflective exploration, practical strategies and brief between-session tasks to track patterns, build skills and address emotional and cognitive strain. This way of working tends to suit those seeking grounded, multidisciplinary thinking and practical change.
