About my journey...
I am a psychologist with over 10 years of experience dedicated to mental health care in its most sensitive moments. My practice was shaped in high-complexity environments—including Intensive Care Units and Palliative Care—at reference institutions such as Hospital Sírio-Libanês and Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre.
This background has taught me that behind every distress or illness, there is a unique story that deserves to be heard with respect and presence. My work is grounded in the Existential-Phenomenological perspective, focusing on understanding the meaning you construct for your life.
Currently residing outside of Brazil, I have integrated my clinical experience with research in Cross-Cultural Psychology. Today, I am especially dedicated to supporting adults and seniors facing the challenges of adaptation, belonging, and existential crises, whether they are in Brazil or navigating international migratory contexts.


Expertise in Critical Contexts: Extensive experience in grief, loss, and brief emotional support.
Cross-Cultural Focus: Deep understanding of displacement and cultural adjustment processes (Expatriates).
Ethics and Humanity: A safe, ethical, and non-judgmental space for your uniqueness.
