About Me
As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I help you explore how thoughts and behaviours influence your well-being. My Master's in Clinical and Health Psychology guides my Cognitive-Behavioral approach. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical, evidence-based strategies you can apply daily. This collaborative process is for those seeking concrete tools to manage challenges and improve their mental and physical health.
Approach
Therapy unfolds with concrete steps and steady pacing, pairing skill practice with moments to reflect on what shifts in everyday life. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese in Almada and Setúbal, and online for those further away, so continuity feels achievable. I guide brief behavioural experiments, targeted assessments and clear between-session practices, and occasionally use focused relaxation to help recalibrate thinking and bodily responses. People struggling with anxiety or low mood who want practical, measurable change often find this approach useful.
