Description

My intention is to offer a space of safety and compassionate presence where each part of you is welcome.

My work supports adults and adolescents in gently uncovering the unconscious patterns and protective strategies shaped by trauma and early experiences. By integrating Compassionate Inquiry®, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing®, Polyvagal-informed therapy, and my background in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, I help clients reconnect with their authentic self, develop self‑compassion, and restore inner coherence.

Outside of work, I enjoy listening to music, walking in nature, spending time with animals, reading, and being with my family and friends. These simple joys nurture my sense of grounding and compassion, which naturally flows into my therapeutic practice. I am genuinely interested in connecting with the people around me and approach my work with care and attentiveness, creating a warm and empathetic space for healing.

In our sessions—available in Portuguese and English, online or in person—you are invited to slow down, listen to your body, and meet yourself with curiosity and care. Healing begins in the safety of connection, and together we follow the thread that leads from protection to presence.
