English
| Português Do you often feel overwhelmed, stuck in recurring relational patterns, or like you are carrying more emotional responsibility in your relationships than you would like?
On the outside, do you function well, while internally feeling anxious, self-critical, or disconnected from yourself?
With over 20 years of prior experience as a psychologist in Brazil, I support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, including experiences of loss and change.
I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. In our work together, I offer a warm, supportive, and collaborative space to slow down, gain clarity, and understand your emotional and relational patterns. My approach is relational and insight-oriented, focused on meaningful change.
If you’re looking for greater clarity, emotional balance, and healthier relationships, I would be glad to connect.
