A person in love with psychology

Born & raised in Sao Paulo I have always been very interested in understanding people and their minds, how we think and what leads us in certain directions and where our emotions come from. I become so interested and passionate about these concepts that I was drawn into learning and studying everything I could find in this area.

When I started college I was fascinated by these concepts specifically behaviourism and the way that thoughts come into our minds that then creates emotions that lead to certain behaviours. I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. I wanted to learn more and more about human behaviour & understand my own emotions. I struggled a lot with anxiety as a teenager and only after starting college I started to understand these concepts. As students we undertake therapy to understand our own minds first and also grow as humans & professionals.

I am a mother of 2 children who were both born & raised in Dublin. I speak Portuguese with my two boys as I find it is important to communicate with them in my own language. I like to say that “I left Brazil but Brazil lives in me”. I am proud of being Brazilian and I feel privileged at being able to provide services to my community abroad. As a Brazilian I can understand your pains and challenges.

When I first arrived in Ireland I didn’t know anybody, I didn’t speak English and I was living with people from different nationalities and backgrounds. I remember how challenging this was but now I realise how it has helped me to become who I am and my job is to encourage people to embrace change & to become a better version of themselves.

Now I work with people from many different cultures as Ireland attract people from all over the world for its beauty, culture, safety & lifestyle.
