Experienced psychologist dedicated to empowering individuals through therapy.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
With over 25 years of experience in psychology, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and communities navigate their challenges. My journey has taken me through various settings, including child protection, human resources, and chronic patient care. I thrive on adapting and developing new therapeutic skills to meet the evolving needs of my clients.
Currently, I serve as a Clinical Psychologist at Sana Clinics in Lisbon, where I conduct psychological assessments and design individualized treatment plans. My role as a Senior Psychologist and Team Coordinator at Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa has allowed me to mentor mental health counselors and lead initiatives that improve patient care. I am passionate about fostering a supportive environment and cultivating wellness among team members.
Throughout my career, I have worked internationally, including at the Family Services Association in Massachusetts, USA. My positive attitude, strong communication skills, and ability to empathize with diverse populations have been instrumental in my success. I am committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve.
