Me & My Work
Here I am — surrendering to the power of the internet and social media to share my work, my voice, my words.
I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and have been living for the past 15 years abroad - between Europe and Asia. I’ve called more than ten countries home — moving through countless cities, neighborhoods, apartments, communities — each one shaping who I am in its own way.
Before stepping into the therapeutic world, I worked in the corporate environment for nearly a decade as an International Relations Specialist for a Chinese multinational. It was a valuable chapter — structured, strategic, and intense.
Yet, since childhood I have been fascinated by what moves us beneath the surface — our minds, our beliefs, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. I have explored spirituality, philosophy, and human consciousness, and over the years, I’ve completed tons of courses and read countless books on astrology, tantra, human behavior, trauma, energy healing, self-development, and many other dimensions of human growth.
A few years ago, my mentor opened a four-year training in Integrative Therapy. I knew it would change my life. What I didn’t know was that it would also transform my profession.
For the past few years, I have devoted myself to the therapeutic field — and it has transformed me from the inside out. What first transformed me became the foundation of my work. It reshaped the way I understand pain, suffering, and life itself, deepening my perception and expanding how I relate to the human experience.
There were moments when I thought:
If I had known this a few years ago… a few months ago… maybe even a few weeks ago… I would have suffered less.
And then something became very clear:
I want to help others suffer less.
My decision to become a therapist came from a genuine place — a desire to be a safe space, a place of understanding, a help for someone.
For those without support.
For those who feel misunderstood.
For those who struggle within themselves.
For those who believe they are the problem.
For those who are tired of trying.
I would love to help you.
Nice to meet you,
