Who i am and what i do
I graduated as a psychologist from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in 2006. During my first years at the Department of Applied Psychology at the UFRJ, my practice had Winnicott's psychoanalysis as its theoretical reference, while I also participated in undergraduate research in the field of psychoanalytic theory at the university.
Shortly before moving to Berlin in 2010, I was introduced to mindfulness practices, which I continue to explore and use in my work.
For over 10 years I worked with teenagers and families at the European School in Berlin, and I'm currently specialising in Systemic Therapy at the Systemisches Institut für Achtsamkeit (SIA, Berlin). I was awarded the title of Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie by the Berlin Health Authority in 2023.
I have spoken at various institutions on the topic of "lgbtqia+ identities in education", and my work on this topic won first place in the fair@school competition run by the German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency in 2017.
In addition, my forays into the arts (music, performance and dramaturgy) and my personal commitment to a decolonial approach of psychotherapy have given me a distinctive sensitivity and listening ability.
What I offer
I mainly combine three therapeutic approaches in what I call Deep Relational Therapy:
- Systemic Therapy:
We look at how your relationships - family, work and social - affect your emotional health and development. By understanding these dynamics, we can create healthier patterns and improve the connections in your life.
- winnicottian Psychoanalysis:
It focuses on early relationships, especially those that were formed before we could speak (preverbal development). It helps us explore how early emotional experiences shape our sense of self and how healing these past wounds can reconnect you to your true self.
- Mindfulness:
Mindfulness teaches you to stay present through simple techniques. It helps you to develop clarity and emotional resilience by noticing your feelings and sensations in a non-judgmental way.
It also includes tools from ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and schema therapy as well as a commitment to a more decolonial approach.
Clients learn to observe their thoughts, feelings, and relational interactions non-judgmentally, gaining deeper insight into both their internal world and how they engage with others, while also developing tools for managing stress and enhancing well-being.
