About Me

Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Laura and I'm a Clinical Psychologist. I'm also a writer, researcher and professor. Since childhood, I knew that I wanted to have a career that would make a difference in people's lives and in the world as a whole. This interest led me to choose the path of Psychology.

​

I have training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Neuropsychology, Positive Psychology and a Master's Degree in Psychology. I have also completed professional training at the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Peking and the British Council. 

​

I have experience conducting sessions in Portuguese and English, as well as with international patients. I have also done humanitarian volunteer work, providing online psychological first aid in the context of wars and disasters. 

​

I am Profoundly Gifted and a Highly Sensitive Person, as well as a scholar of these conditions, and I offer specialized services for people who also have them. In addition, in my practice, minorities are welcomed and respected for their unique experiences. 

​

Each patient is important to me and I strive to help them find the answers they are looking for. I am committed to excellence, innovation and humanized, integrative treatment, with a focus on personalized care that works especially for you!
