As a psychologist my mission is to offer you a a safe space for you to work through your issues. I will work with you to decide on a course of action that we both feel will best help you make positive changes in whatever areas are most concerning you.
About Me
I am a licensed Psychologist registered with the Portuguese Order of Psychologists ( OPP) as a practitioner.
I have worked therapeutically with all kinds of clients, from different backgrounds and ages.
I work from a integrative perspective, that means I am trained in a number of different modalities, and will develop a therapeutic approach that meets your individual needs.
Some Modalities Include:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT)
-
Couple Therapy
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR)
-
Clinical Hypnosis
I am very interested in how the early relationships with our caregivers ( and our attachment style) may shape our future relationships and ability to self regulate our own emotions. This understandings helps to form the approach that you will need.
I use different theories and perspectives so I can help you to get a better understanding of your behaviors, thoughts and feelings ( from Psychodynamic to CBT, Attachment Theory or Schema Therapy).
