About Me - Your Psychologist in Berlin

I became a psychologist because I've always been fascinated by people: their stories, their resilience, and the unique ways they navigate life's challenges. There's something beautiful about understanding how we function and helping people write better chapters in their own stories.

My Journey to Berlin

Two years ago, I made the decision to move to Berlin - a decision that changed everything. Like many of you, I arrived with excitement and uncertainty in equal measure. I've navigated the challenges of forming friendships as an adult, adapting to a culture very different from Brazil, managing homesickness while building a new home, and finding my professional footing in a new city.

This experience has profoundly shaped how I practice. I don't just understand cultural adjustment theoretically - I understand it personally. I know what it's like to feel between worlds, to question whether you'll ever truly belong, and to work on fitting in without losing the essence of who you are.

This journey has also taught me about resilience, adaptability, and the strength it takes to choose growth over comfort. It's why I'm so passionate about supporting others through their own transitions and challenges in Berlin.

My Approach to Therapy

I combine the evidence-based, structured techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a warm and empathetic approach that honors your unique experience. Our work together isn't just about understanding your thoughts and feelings; it's about developing practical life skills that help you navigate daily challenges with more confidence and ease.

What makes my approach different

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative partnership where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whatever you bring to our sessions - your struggles, your fears, your most confusing thoughts - you'll find a judgment-free space where you can be completely authentic.

Whether our sessions are more structured and focused on specific goals or flow into deeper, supportive conversations depends entirely on what you need in that moment. Some days you might need concrete strategies for managing anxiety; other days you might need space to process and be supported. I adapt to where you are.
