About Me
As a Brazilian psychologist based in Switzerland, I offer Counseling and mentoring for English-speaking expats. I understand the unique emotional challenges of building a life abroad. My culturally sensitive approach helps you navigate these feelings. We explore your experiences with a deep understanding of your background. Together, we can foster a sense of belonging and build a meaningful life in your new home.
Approach
Sessions focus on translating your cross-cultural experiences into manageable goals, blending practical reflection with attention to emotional patterns. In Versoix, Geneva or online, in English or Portuguese, we work at a steady, collaborative pace so you feel seen but not overwhelmed. We explore anxiety and low mood through short-term counseling rhythms: naming triggers, testing small experiments between meetings, and tracking what changes. This way of working suits adults navigating life abroad who want clear, hands-on support to feel more settled.
