My Approach to Helping
When I moved to the United States, I brought with me the passion and the experience from my work as a Licensed Psychologist in Brazil and from my ongoing formation in Psychoanalysis. I truly believe in the transformative and healing power of talk psychotherapy, valuing and respecting each person’s subjective experience.
We live in a capitalistic society that constantly tells us that everything needs to be quickly fixed as we need to feel satisfied, joyful, productive, and fulfilled all the time, reducing the complexity of the human experience to unrealistic and superficial ideals of well-being. These imperatives produce psychological suffering, oppression and alienate us from who we are.
I invite my patients to embark on a journey to know themselves more deeply, supporting them to gain awareness of what is going on psychologically that is underlying their present problems, in a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive space. A psychoanalytical process is a journey, not a destination!
