Online Relational Psychotherapy
Relieve pain and suffering, develop greater self-awareness & authenticity, build a healthier, more enjoyable and vibrant life.
We all exist within a context of human relationships.
Our lives become richer and more fulfilling when we can relate fully and harmoniously with the people around us.
My goal is to offer the necessary support and appropriate tools for you to face any challenge you may encounter.
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
The first step will focus on alleviating the immediate pain and suffering that trouble you today. This will open the path to exploring deeper layers of your personal experience, promoting greater self-awareness, authenticity, and life satisfaction.
You will find a safe environment to explore thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns. This will be a space dedicated to your overall well-being and personal development.
How does it work?
We will work together to build a clear understanding of your experiences and personal challenges. By combining humanistic, psychodynamic, and behavioral aspects of psychotherapy, I will provide all the necessary support you will need to address any distress you may be experiencing.
The focus is on you
Couples Therapy
Strengthen your relationship and rediscover your connection with each other.
Every couple faces challenges. These difficulties can be overcome and harmony can be rekindled. Couples Therapy provides a safe space to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and restore intimacy.
First session
We will better understand your challenges, align expectations, and define the goals for therapy.
Identifying patterns
A deeper look at the relationship will reveal underlying dynamics and identify repetitive behaviors that are generating conflicts.
Improve Communication
Develop clear communication and active listening skills. Learn to share what truly matters most.
Strengthened Connection
Exploring each other’s emotional needs, restoring intimacy, and building greater harmony.
Strategies for the Future
Create and develop tools that will help maintain the progress achieved in therapy, facilitating a healthier and happier future.
Why Couples Therapy?
I will facilitate dialogue and help strengthen the bond between you and your partner. Issues involving trust, communication, sexuality, intimacy & affection, and conflict resolution will be carefully addressed and tailored to the needs of each couple.
Bibliotherapy
Live to Read & Read to Live
Bibliotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses reading as a tool to promote emotional and psychological well-being. Through works of literature, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, we use books as allies to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will investigate difficulties & challenges, life impasses, emotional pain, and existential crises. Books are powerful tools for building new perspectives on our lives and our existence in the world.
1.
In the first session, we will discuss your life today, identifying current challenges and desires. We will investigate your current reading habits and what you enjoy reading. Some suggestions will be made that resonate with your present experiences and will help broaden your perspective on your self and your life in general.
2.
After an agreed upon interval where the reading material can be absorbed, a new session will take place so that we can discuss what has been read and how it has affected you. In this session, we will be able to discuss any difficulties understanding the material and explore different meanings that can be extracted from each text.

About Me
I began my career in the Philosophy Department, where I remained for almost a decade. Upon realizing that Academia could not offer me the life I wanted, I changed paths towards a profession of care and connection. As a Psychologist, I still draw upon all the knowledge I have accumulated in philosophical investigations, because these have shaped my way of looking at the world and the people around me.
I currently divide my time between the public mental health sector in Rio de Janeiro, and my private practice. My practice includes individuals and couples from diverse cultures, backgrounds and contexts, in several different countries.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How does online psychotherapy work?
Our sessions take place via video calls using easy-to-access platforms (Google Meet, Zoom, WhatsApp, Teams or Skype). All you need is a device with a camera, a stable internet connection and a private space.
What therapeutic approaches are used?
I am trained in different psychotherapeutic modalities, including humanistic, psychodynamic, systemic and behavioral approaches.
How to choose between individual or couples therapy?
This will depend on the nature of the issues being faced. When challenges are personal, focused on self-awareness, emotions, thoughts, and individual experiences, individual therapy is more appropriate. However, if problems are related to communication, conflicts, or specific dynamics within the relationship, couples therapy may be more effective. Both can be valuable, depending on the context.
Is couples therapy suitable for any form of partnership?
Yes! Every relationship goes through moments of difficulty that need to be carefully addressed from time to time. The modern world offers many possibilities for partnerships, and this diversity is very present in my practice. I am always attuned to the specific needs of each couples particular way of relating to each other.
I have extensive experience with LGBTQUIAP+ community.
