I believe that health and sexuality go hand in hand—both are part of our identity and influence how we feel, relate to others, and live our lives. In my professional practice, I integrate the comprehensive and ongoing perspective of General and Family Medicine with the specialized knowledge of Clinical Sexology, using an approach that is compassionate, respectful, and tailored to each person and their unique story. Throughout my professional career, I have been dedicated to promoting an open, inclusive, and evidence-based perspective on sexuality, so that each of us can experience it freely, knowledgeably, and safely.
I currently practice at the USF da Luz and at the Treatment Activists Group (GAT), where I have gained experience in the field of sexually transmitted infections and in working with vulnerable populations.
I hold a certification in Sexology recognized by the Portuguese Medical Association and am a Certified Sex Therapist by the Portuguese Society of Clinical Sexology.
I am a faculty member of the Graduate Program in Human Sexuality at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon and of the Specialization Course in Clinical Sexology offered by the Portuguese Society of Clinical Sexology, where I also serve on the Board of Directors.
My areas of interest and clinical experience include sexual health, counseling on sexually transmitted infections, contraception, and safe sexual practices; sexual difficulties and dysfunctions—particularly those related to desire/interest, erection, ejaculation, arousal, orgasm, sexual pleasure, and pain; difficulties in experiencing sexuality as an individual or as a couple; and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
I am part of the extended SPES team, contributing in the area of Sexology and Sex Therapy.
