I’m a psychologist with a deep passion for understanding the mind and supporting people through life’s complexities. I was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, and later moved to the Netherlands for university. Living across cultures has shaped no only who I am, but also how I practice. It helps me connect more fully with the unique stories, struggles, and strengths each person brings to therapy.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity and respect. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up fully, without judgement, and explore what is really going on beneath the surface. Together, we will make sense of your experience and work toward the change you are seeking.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and Autism. I also support a wide range of mental health challenges such as anxiety, burnout, depression, stress, loneliness, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or simply stuck, I am here to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with more clarity and confidence.

In our sessions, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and cognitive strategies. My goal is to tailor each session to your individual needs, helping you build resiliency, develop practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change.

As an expat myself, I understand the emotional and psychological challenges that can come with living abroad. These may include cultural adjustments, identity shifts, feelings of isolation, and homesickness. I am passionate about helping others navigate these transitions and find a sense of grounding, balance, and belonging.

I offer therapy in both Portuguese and English and am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to walk alongside you and help you build a life that feels aligned with your values, needs, and sense of self.
