About Me

Based in Sao Paulo, this certified psychoanalyst offers a thoughtful space for deep exploration. Sessions are available in English or Portuguese. Their approach draws on Brazilian training and certification. It is also enriched by active research at the Universidade de Sao Paulo’s Psychology Institute. They guide individuals seeking profound self-understanding. Clients value the opportunity to delve into their inner world with a highly informed and culturally attuned professional.

Approach

Here, careful attention to personal history and present tensions shapes the questions I bring and the tempo we follow. I work from São Paulo, offering sessions in English and Portuguese, in-person and online, so language and setting support what emerges. Sessions unfold through attentive listening, noticing recurring relational patterns, and gently making links between feelings, memories and current struggles; between-session thoughts or short notes are occasionally used to carry reflections forward. People facing loss, relationship strain or persistent anxiety tend to find this way of working steadying.
