What I'm looking for

Seeking a role in a collaborative environment focused on mental health and cognitive well-being, where I can apply my expertise in assessments and therapeutic interventions to contribute to patient care and growth.

I am a dedicated clinical neuropsychologist with a strong background in diagnosing and treating various mental health disorders. Currently, I work at Planeta Zatopec in Porto, where I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and provide therapeutic interventions for diverse patient populations. My role involves psychoeducation, individual therapy sessions, and administering cognitive evaluations to aid treatment planning.

Prior to this, I served as a clinical neuropsychologist at Cognitempus, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop personalized treatment plans. I provided therapy for patients with traumatic brain injuries and educated families on managing cognitive impairments. My experience also includes working as a transcriber and team leader, where I honed my skills in leadership, conflict resolution, and meeting tight deadlines.

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Neuropsychology from the Higher Institute of Health Sciences and have completed various professional certifications and courses. I am passionate about continuous learning and have participated in numerous training actions and conferences to stay updated in my field.
