About
I am a psychologist and researcher based in Munich, offering sessions in English and Portuguese. I hold a PhD through a joint programme at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the University of Porto, and am an ISST-certified Advanced Schema Therapist and certified hypnotherapist.
My doctoral research explored stability and change in psychological schemas during the transition to parenthood. This informs my work with adults navigating life transitions, recurring emotional and relational patterns, and questions of identity and meaning.
My approach integrates schema therapy, imagery, narrative exploration and body awareness. I am particularly interested in how imagery can support emotional processing and psychological integration, including its potential role in supporting people facing advanced illness.
