OPP Professional Certificate No. 52
Clinical psychologist and psychotherapist
Clinical and health psychology specialist, as well as organizational and work psychology specialist
I hold a degree in Clinical Psychology, a postgraduate degree in Client-Centered Psychotherapy, and I have received training in parenting, mindfulness, coaching, and management.
Since my adolescence, I've been troubled by questions about who I am and what I want to do with my life. I knew from a young age that my mission was to be a channel of healing, so I chose to study psychology to satisfy my passion for helping people while also learning more about human nature. Since 2003, I've been working as a psychologist, learning and teaching the art of living to people of all ages and cultures. After finishing my degree, I spent a year in Mozambique working at a public hospital. I have been practicing clinical psychology for 17 years, providing consultations in private clinics. Throughout my career, I have also worked as a social project coordinator and a behavioral trainer (emotional management and communication). I spent a decade working for the “Ordem dos Psicólogos”, where I worked in training, professional internship management, and career management. I specialized in Person-Centered (Humanistic) Psychotherapy.
The psychological intervention I carry out is the result of my diversified professional experience and continued training. Humanist and transpersonal currents inspire me, and I use techniques from psychotherapy, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and coaching. My approach is based on facilitating the client's self-awareness process, assisting the individual's personal growth process, and assisting the person in the development of practical strategies to achieve their goals, thereby promoting a higher quality of life. I believe that each person is unique and has the internal resources to be happy; therefore, the psychologist, in my opinion, is the catalyst for the change that the client wishes to see in his life.
I'm a mother who has been teaching yoga and meditation classes for over a decade. In my spare time, I enjoy contemplating nature, reading, gardening, and I travel the world whenever possible.
