Licensed Psychologist

About me

Sou psicóloga clínica e psicanalista, formada pela PUC-Rio, com mais de 8 anos de experiência em atendimento de adultos. Atendo brasileiros que vivem no Brasil e no exterior, especialmente pessoas que enfrentam dificuldades relacionadas a ansiedade, relacionamentos, autoestima, corpo e alimentação, além de questões ligadas à experiência de viver fora do país. Meu trabalho é orientado pela psicanálise. A proposta é compreender não apenas o sintoma que aparece hoje, mas também os padrões, relações e experiências que se repetem e produzem sofrimento ao longo da vida. Tenho formação em Psicanálise, Transtornos Alimentares e Dependência Química, além de estudos em Psicologia Intercultural. Os atendimentos são individuais, online e têm duração de 50 minutos.

Approach

My clinical work is grounded in psychoanalytic theory, with attention to unconscious processes, repetition, relationships, personal history and the meanings behind symptoms.
