About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Lisbon, Portugal. My main work experience over the years has been with people who deal with anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions, and I provide individual counseling, psychotherapy and online therapy.

Approach

Experience with diverse expatriate communities shapes a flexible, culturally attuned way of working that centers your priorities and context. Sessions in English or Portuguese, whether in my Lisbon office or online, move at a practical pace—exploring patterns, building coping strategies and reframing relationship or transition difficulties. I encourage concrete steps between meetings, such as brief experiments or reflections, so change feels measurable and relevant to everyday life. This collaborative, down-to-earth pace often helps adolescents and adults facing anxiety, mood shifts, trauma or major life transitions.
