I invite you to get in touch with yourself in a safe listening space.
For the past decade, I´ve had the pleasure of supporting people around the world, on-line and on demand. I provide individual psychotherapy and counseling for adults (in Portuguese, English or Spanish). During the sessions, I am guided by respect, empathy, and curiosity.
Let me be your co-journeyer and show you a kinder way to treat the most important person in your life.
Here´s a peek at my story...
I am happy to introduce myself to you. I am a Registered Psychologist in Portugal and also by the European Federation of Psychologists ‘Association with specialized training in Psychoanalysis. My background includes two decades working in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America and Europe (i.e. UNDP, IOM, Mercy Corps, Action Against Hunger). I have settled in Portugal after nearly 20 years living abroad. Furthermore, I have a deep understanding of the challenges of expatriate living and managing a demanding career.
... and who I've worked with.
Over the years I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, with a wide range of concerns: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, co-dependency, parenting issues, career and phase of life challenges, and questions about how to live life ´on purpose´. As a psychotherapist, I have been through a deep journey of self-knowledge myself, which was seeded and constantly watered by my own psychotherapeutic path. I consider myself to be an ally for LGBTQIAP+ individuals and sexual/gender issues.
You might be curious to know how I work…
I believe in an integrative approach tailored to the issues at hand. We may need to explore the past if we believe it is important, but we may stay in the present and explore different feelings or dilemmas, if that is what you are struggling with.
