I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Melbourne, Australia. Originally from Sao Paulo/ Brazil, I have lived in different Brazilian states; Orlando/ USA; Auckland/ NZ and since 2014, I call Melbourne home.

My personal experience, including as an immigrant, combined with 10+ years in the psychological field has helped me to understand the importance of a warm, welcoming and non judgmental environment for our mental health. Based on values like honesty, collaboration, fulfilment, gratitude, individuality, trust, competence and definitely humour; be assured that I aim to provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere so you can focus in improving your mental health.

My formal qualifications include Graduation in Psychology from the Federal University of Ceara (Brazil) Post Graduation Degrees in Palliative Care and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Diplomas in Gestalt Therapy and Health Psychology. I am also a Board Approved Supervisor, a full Member of the Australian Psychological Society, NZ registered Clinical Psychologist and Brazilian registered Psychologist.

I believe in the power of knowledge and therefore I aim to create an informative website, where you will be able to find updated resources about mental health. Please, feel free to email me in case you would like to learn about a subject that hasn’t yet been covered.

I just founded Second Chance Psychology, a psychology clinic deeply committed to tackle climate crisis. I’m also currently working at Broulee Psychology. Telehealth consultations and supervisions both in English and Portuguese are available.
