PSYCHOLOGIST | MASTER IN CLINICAL AND HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY
MINDFULNESS INSTRUCTOR
PSYCHOTHERAPIST (in training)
Guided by an endless curiosity about human nature and a desire to helpothers, I graduated in Clinical and Health Psychology from the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences of the University of Porto.
My mission is to help individuals, couples, and families through a conscious, ethical intervention that respects the uniqueness and diversity of human experiences, within a safe space where support and challenge go hand in hand to promote personal growth and transformation.
I deeply enjoy working with life transitions, such as the formation of a couple, pregnancy, the postpartum period, the beginning of parenthood, and grief, as events that promote change, adaptations, reorganizations, and the building of important life resources.
I began my specialisation path with 3rd Wave CBT and professional Mindfulness instruction, guided by the desire to help others cultivate a more compassionate relationship with their inner experiences. This was followed by an Advanced Specialisation in Couple and Family Therapy, to deepen intervention in interpersonal relationships, sexuality, and adaptation to the different stages of the family life cycle. I also have official training in Internal Family Systems, a reference model in the field of trauma. I am currently attending the Advanced Specialisation in Psychotherapy, due to my passion for deeper and more structural clinical work.
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to UTERUS, as part of a multidisciplinary team to which I am proud to belong and with whom I share an integrative, humane, and inclusive vision of women’s, couples’, and families’ health.
