“We dream the flight but we fear the height. To fly one needs to have the courage to face the void. The flight can only happen in the void. The void is the space for freedom, the absence of certainties. But that is what we fear: not having certainties. That is why we change the flight for cages. Cages are the place where certainties live.”
— The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"Nobody made a greater mistake than s/he/they who did nothing because s/he/they could only do a little."
Edmund Burke

Clients and Issues I work with the most
I always found diversity and the edges of human experience to be fascinating and I hope that reverts to my clients benefit by exploring and learning as much as I can about what life is like on the fringes of cultural diversity, displacement, gender and sexual diversity, excellence, etc...
Offering sessions in English I have extensive experience working with international individuals and couples and dealing with issues of cultural diversity, displacement, adjustment stress, etc.
Having an organizational background is helpful to fully comprehend the challenges that come with the drive, the context, the stress and high demand, both as an individual or the impact in terms of the couple and family.
Being part of the Portuguese ILGA since 2009 and having a Specialization in Clinical Sexology I offer experience and training in the specific challenges that impact the lives of my clients . Practicing Affirmative therapy I offer support on a range of issues from Gender identity, to sexual orientation, to relational diversity (ex.: ENM)
EcoAxiety is diffent from other anxieties in the sense that it's the anticipatory worry and suffering in regards to an event that is an actual danger and there isn't an exageration of the severity of the danger and consequences, nor of the limits of individual resources to confront it.
Studying and working with this context I offer knowledge and experience.
Climate Activists and other front liners of the climate crisis face particular challenges.
Through the work at Ecopsi I've come to develop a deeper understanding of many of the challenges.
Studying and working with this context I offer knowledge and experience.
For those who love animals and see them as significant parts of their family, dealing with the suffering of animal long therm illnesses and grief after the loss (especially if it includes the decision to euthanase) can be very challenging emotionally, with the particularity that not always the context understands the intensity of the suffering for an animal.
For veterinaries that face the challenge of offering health care to patients for whom they often have to perform euthanasy for medical or finantial reasons, the burden can be constant. Most people are unaware veterinaries are among the professions with a highest prevalence of depression and suicide.
I offer empathy, knowledge and support for these specific circumstances.
