About Me

With 20 years of clinical experience in psychoanalysis, I work with individuals interested in understanding the unconscious patterns that shape their relationships, choices, symptoms, and ways of living. Psychoanalysis offers a dedicated space to explore what repeats, what causes suffering, and what may not yet be fully understood or put into words. Rather than seeking quick solutions, the work unfolds over time, allowing new questions, meanings, and possibilities to emerge. This approach may be especially suited to those who wish to engage in a sustained and in-depth process around long-standing difficulties, recurring patterns, or questions about themselves and their lives. Pode escrever em português também? Claro. Eu faria em português mantendo esse tom mais propriamente psicanalítico e evitando uma linguagem excessivamente “terapêutica”: Com 20 anos de experiência clínica em psicanálise, trabalho com pessoas interessadas em compreender os padrões inconscientes que atravessam suas relações, escolhas, sintomas e modos de viver. A psicanálise oferece um espaço de escuta para explorar aquilo que se repete, o que produz sofrimento e também o que ainda não pôde ser inteiramente compreendido ou colocado em palavras. Mais do que buscar soluções rápidas, trata-se de um trabalho que se constrói ao longo do tempo, permitindo que novas questões, sentidos e possibilidades possam emergir. Essa abordagem pode ser especialmente indicada para quem deseja se implicar em um processo aprofundado e sustentado diante de dificuldades persistentes, padrões que se repetem ou questões sobre si mesmo e sua própria vida.

Approach

Português A escuta psicanalítica orienta a maneira como as sessões se desenvolvem, dando atenção aos lapsos, sonhos, repetições e associações que surgem na fala, permitindo que seus sentidos possam emergir ao longo do tempo. Nos atendimentos presenciais e também on-line, as sessões podem ser realizadas em português ou inglês, respeitando o ritmo singular de cada pessoa e atentando para as associações entre escolhas e experiências cotidianas e conflitos mais profundos. Ao longo de sessões regulares e de um trabalho contínuo de elaboração, buscamos reconhecer padrões que podem se manifestar no humor, na relação com o corpo, no sono e nos vínculos, assim como em questões relacionadas à adolescência ou às diferentes formas de dependência. Esse modo de trabalho pode ser especialmente interessante para quem procura um processo constante, aprofundado e aberto à investigação das próprias questões. English Psychoanalytic listening shapes the way sessions unfold, with particular attention to slips, dreams, repetitions, and associations that emerge through speech, allowing meaning to unfold over time. In both in-person and online sessions, offered in Portuguese or English, the work follows each person's singular rhythm, with careful attention to the associations between everyday choices and experiences and deeper conflicts. Through regular sessions and an ongoing process of elaboration, we explore patterns that may emerge in mood, one's relationship with the body, sleep, and relationships, as well as issues related to adolescence or different forms of addiction. This way of working may be particularly suited to those seeking a steady, in-depth, and exploratory process.

Português Minha prática é orientada pela psicanálise e pelo trabalho com questões relacionadas aos vínculos, às repetições, aos conflitos e aos momentos de transição ao longo da vida. Tenho especial interesse pela experiência de viver entre diferentes países e culturas, pelas questões da adolescência e pelas formas singulares como cada sujeito responde ao sofrimento, às mudanças e aos impasses de sua história. English My practice is grounded in psychoanalysis, with a focus on relationships, recurring patterns, conflicts, and periods of transition throughout life. I have a particular interest in the experience of living across different countries and cultures, in adolescence, and in the singular ways each person responds to suffering, change, and the impasses of their own history.
