About me
I am an Italian-Brazilian senior clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. I moved to Ireland in 2014, where I established my clinical practice in Dublin and online.
I hold a Doctorate in Psychology (Ph.D. and Psy.D.). I obtained my PhD from University College Dublin (UCD) in 2018, and previously completed two master's degrees as part of my postgraduate training in clinical psychology in Brazil. My qualification as a Clinical Psychologist has been recognised by the Irish Department of Health, and I am currently a Chartered Psychologist of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) in the Clinical Psychology Division.
I have extensive experience of more than 15 years in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and adults with moderate to severe mental health difficulties, including mood disorders, OCD, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I have particular expertise in working with neurodiverse individuals, and since 2022 I have worked closely with gender-diverse young people and adults, providing gender dysphoria assessment and holistic care.
My special interests include neurodiversity (ASD and ADHD) and gender diversity (transgender and non-binary identities). I also have a strong interest in supporting ethnic minorities and people navigating immigration-related issues.
I value the richness of working across different cultures and languages, with a strong focus on promoting mental health awareness and access to evidence-based informed care.
