About Me

I am a licensed psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist in Brasil, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I work with you on mood disorders, cross-cultural adjustment, and LGBTQI+ support. I provide psychodiagnostic assessment to clarify diagnosis and guide treatment.

Approach

Experience with Brazilians living abroad shapes how I attend to cultural dislocation and shifting moods during sessions, inviting careful listening to your life between places. Sessions are conversational but focused: we track patterns in feelings and relationships, use reflective questions, and sometimes clarify diagnosis together through targeted assessment to make sense of what repeats. I tend to pace work to match your tempo, offering space for exploration and concrete steps when needed. This approach often suits adolescents and adults navigating identity, loss, or adjustment.
