I am a psychologist, certified art therapist and coach.
I also practice Gestalt therapy and psychosomatic therapy.

I offer an integrative approach to clients healing from emotional traumas, navigating life transitions, recovering from emotional burnout or loss, and searching to restore their motivation and inner resources.

I offer online sessions to clients around the world, as well as in-person sessions in Lisbon and Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, where I currently live.

My journey as a therapist started 10 years ago when I began studying psychology, art therapy and gestalt therapy. As a naturally intuitive, creative and empathetic person, I have always been drawn to the concept of connecting with the subconscious mind and inner resources through creativity and intuition, which allowed me to further explore my own natural talents to empower myself and others through art therapy.

I further expanded my professional interests by studying gestalt therapy (focusing on improving self-awareness, nurturing relationship with yourself and others, and living in the present moment), as well as psychosomatic therapy after I was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and went through a challenging post-surgery recovery and a complete life transformation. At that time, I learned to rely on my own inner resources and strong intention to recover, and I was also blessed to receive support and wisdom from the right teachers (therapists, coaches and somatic practitioners), whose knowledge and resources were crucial in my healing process.

Before moving to Portugal, I had lived in seven other countries (including US, France, Indonesia), and besides psychology and therapy, my professional background also includes expertise in education and development work with large international organisations.
My multicultural background and versatile professional experience enable me to work with my clients around the world, providing them with effective support during crises—such as those related to emigration or career changes—as well as when they are seeking to build emotional and psychological resilience in high-stress and high-responsibility professional environments with high risk of burnout.
