ABOUT ME

As a recognized psychologist from Brazil and based in Berlin, I've developed expertise in addressing multicultural issues, particularly within contexts of change, crises and adaptation. With extensive experience across private and institutional sectors, I specialize in providing professional counselling to individuals and institutions. My expertise centers on helping individuals and organizations in navigating challenges ranging from relational conflicts to mental health concerns, such as stress, depression, anxiety, and disorders. I believe that life's challenges also present opportunities for growth. Therefore my core objective is to collaboratively explore inner resources to overcome these challenges. This process fosters awareness and promotes mental well-being, empowering individuals to triumph over adversity.

EXPERIENCES

Born in Brazil with an intercultural background, I've achieved proficiency in multiple languages and developed expertise in addressing multicultural issues. Graduating as a psychologist in 2007, I've provided counselling to adolescents, adults, and educators while contributing to research on care, well-being, and culture.

Since settling in Berlin in 2012, I've been actively engaged in counselling refugees, migrants, and non-migrant individuals across educational and childcare settings. Alongside leading educators and social workers in institutional sectors, I've gained extensive experience in addressing intercultural challenges, transitions, crises, as well mental health concerns, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Since 2021 I have established my own practice in Berlin.
