About me

Clinical Psychologist
Clinical, Health and Corporate Psychologist
Specialising in anxiety, depression, relationships and personal development
Specialising in anxiety, depression, relationships and personal development
For eight years, I have helped people navigate emotional challenges, strengthen relationships and develop their potential through clinical psychology. Since 2022, I have combined this practice with psychology roles in four multinational companies, supporting professionals, leaders and teams with stress management, conflict resolution and leadership development.
Trained in Portugal, Spain and the USA, with extensive experience helping people understand, face and work through emotional challenges affecting their personal and professional lives.
I am Portuguese and Angolan, and I live in Lisbon, considered one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
Join me in my free support group, where you can take the first step towards personal growth with support from psychologists.
I offer sessions in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
I often say that our happiness depends on our mental health. A healthy lifestyle is essential, and mental health affects every part of our lives: our relationships, love, physical health and work. That is why promoting good mental health is central to my work as a psychologist.
It can be easier than you think: small steps create meaningful stories, bring change and help you discover the best in yourself. Shall we get started?
Corporate Wellness Experience
Since 2022, alongside my clinical practice, I have worked as a Wellness Counselor, supporting teams and leaders in building healthier, more resilient and productive workplaces.Throughout my career, I have worked with internationally recognised organisations including Pulso, Cognizant and Workplace Options, where I was responsible for:
- Designing and implementing tailored wellbeing programmes for employees
- Providing individual psychological support and group interventions
- Working with operational managers to promote mental health and emotional resilience in teams
- Addressing stress, burnout, motivation, conflict management and emotional regulation
I bring clinical knowledge and a deep understanding of the emotional demands and challenges of corporate life, particularly in high-pressure environments such as customer service, technology and consultancy.
