About me 

My journey into the field of psychotherapy began long before any formal training. I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil, where, at the age of 12, I was introduced to philosophy and the inner world of the mind through the book Sophie’s World, a present from a platonic-love. That book stayed with me—it opened questions that I’m still exploring today. My early life brought challenges that shaped how I relate to others: parental separation, anxiety, depression, the impact of drug and alcohol addiction within the family, kidnapping, etc. These experiences didn’t define me, but they gave me a deep sense of what it means to navigate uncertainty, pain, and change. Over time, they helped develop my capacity to listen without judgment. At 18, I began working as an English teacher, supporting students from ages four to sixty in expressing themselves in a second language. That role taught me how language can open doors—not just in conversation, but in understanding who we are. I carried that insight with me when I moved to Ireland at the age of 22 to continue both my personal and professional growth. Today, I am a qualified Psychologist and a MA student in Psychoanalysis. My work is grounded in the belief that speaking matters—that what we don’t say still finds ways to be heard, often through symptoms, repetition, or silence. I provide a space where people can explore what’s difficult to put into words, at their own pace and in their own way. I’ve also spent time living in Italy and have studied Italian and French. I’m a native Portuguese speaker and speak English fluently. My background across cultures and languages continues to inform how I connect with others, always with sensitivity to the different ways people make sense of their world. In my practice, I offer a space that’s thoughtful, respectful, and open. I don’t offer quick fixes or advice—but I do listen closely, and together we can begin to understand what might be asking to be heard.
