ABOUT ME

WhatsApp Image 2021-06-25 at 16.46_edited.jpg

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist (PUC-RJ), Mental Health Specialist (IPP-RJ) and Master in Public Health (IMS-UERJ) currently living and working in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

I have been working in the clinical, mental health and organizational fields for over 25 years.

​

In the clinical field, I worked in the Public Health System of Rio de Janeiro in Psychiatric Hospitals, Psychosocial Care Centers, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Projects with users of the mental health system and training  health professionals.

​

In the past 11 years, I have also been working as an intercultural corporate consultant, supporting Brazilian and foreign expatriates and their families in the process of adapting to work and life in a new culture.

​

Over that time, I have served hundreds of professionals and families of different nationalities, created assessment and development tools and provided services to more than 50 global companies from several industries.

​

I worked and studied both in Brazil and in the USA, and I am fascinated by working with different people and cultures. Multiculturalism and difference are the foundation of my personal history, as a daughter and granddaughter of immigrants, as well as a core aspect of  how my professional identity has been built.

​

I provide services in Portuguese, English and Spanish
