Sessions typically last around 50 minutes but can extend up to 1 hour in cases where we are wrapping up an important topic.

These are the guidelines I follow when planning my sessions, aiming to masterfully achieve the following qualities: Clinical Listening: Therapy is a space where the therapist can see your reality as you see it. Beyond understanding what you already perceive, therapy also helps you become aware of elements that directly affect or influence your life but may not be visible to you at the moment. Patient Empowerment: You have full control over where you want to take your life, which goals you want to build, and what your preferences, dreams, skills, or decisions are. Additionally, you can rely on the full support of the analyses conducted in therapy to make this possible. Access to Scientific Information: During discussions and analyses in therapy, you also gain access to, and can discuss with, a professional dedicated to psychology and the understanding of human nature, allowing you to learn important information about ourselves as human beings. Personalized Treatment: Finding the solution or the way for a person to progress in their story is an extremely individual process. Rarely does one answer perfectly fit two different people. In therapy, the entire healing process is carefully tailored to you, considering your life situation, the people around you, and your unique characteristics. Our life story is unique, and psychological treatment needs to be highly personalized for each individual. Prioritized Well-being: Therapy often leads us through painful or difficult issues, but therapy itself should be a rewarding process — one of personal growth and increased self-admiration. Therefore, it is important that you feel your well-being is increasingly prioritized in therapy, that you sense you are moving in the right direction, and that you feel good about yourself.

Over the years, I’ve realized that therapy is much more than the old idea of a place where you deal with your traumas, pain, or problems. Yes, we address those things, we face difficulties, and we work through them—but the goal is not just to stop the pain. It’s about building a new world, one that is much more yours, a world you’ve chosen for yourself, out of the thousands of possibilities that lie ahead. Many of these possibilities are already part of your reality, available to you—even if we might not be able to see them yet. In therapy, one of our goals is to reveal the path to these possibilities, and if that path isn’t ready yet, to build it together.

The idea of therapy sessions is that we can work on, discuss, analyze, think about, and reflect on any and all topics that are relevant to the moment you’re going through. Usually, therapy is about uncovering things you might not be aware of but that are directly affecting you. When we become aware of these things, it becomes easier to make new decisions that can lead us to a more pleasant place or a new life reality. Besides the insights you gain during the sessions, working with a therapist also gives you the benefit of doing these analyses with someone who dedicates their life to studying the human experience. We closely observe the growth of others who are in therapy, gaining much knowledge about what works, what doesn’t, and the best practices for different issues... and you gain access to this knowledge when you are in therapy.

Therapy is conducted online. You can attend sessions either from a cell phone or a computer with a camera, according to your preference. Usually, we start with weekly sessions, and the frequency can be adjusted based on your needs.

Starting November 2024, I have closed my in-person appointment slots and now only offer online sessions. Currently, the only in-person patients are those who began therapy with me before this period.

Early on in my career as a psychologist, I incorporated online sessions into my services and have never noticed any significant difference in the quality or progress of patients when comparing online to in-person therapy. The truth is, the real impact of therapy happens in the patient’s life—in their personal experience and reality. Therefore, both online and in-person therapy have the same potential for progress, as long as during the process we are able to identify the things that are holding you back from reaching where you want to be.
