In kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold, the cracks are not hidden—they are highlighted. The broken piece does not return to what it once was; it becomes unique, more valuable. In psychotherapy, our wounds are approached with the same perspective: it is not about erasing the pain, but about reframing it and giving it a place in our personal narrative. Suffering does not disappear, but it can be transformed into
meaning, allowing us to move forward in a more whole and enriched way.
Clinical and Health Psychologist, recognized by the Portuguese Psychologists’ Board (professional license no. 29496).
My professional journey has spanned various contexts, allowing me to engage with diverse realities and enrich my clinical practice. I have worked in hospital settings with children, adolescents, and their families, as well as in university contexts, supporting young adults in navigating personal, emotional, and academic challenges.
I am particularly interested in working with families and couples, and I am currently pursuing continuous training with the Portuguese Society of Family Therapy.
In clinical practice, I believe in the importance of creating a safe, inclusive, trusting, and authentic space, where each person can give voice to their experiences, explore their story, and find new meaning in their challenges.
