About me

As a psychologist, I have extensive experience within mental health care, both in online psychological support and in specialist treatment, working with clients individually and in groups. I have worked with people facing severe psychiatric issues, addiction problems, and dual diagnoses. In addition to my private practice, I work with recovering addicts in early recovery. Through my work, I have repeatedly witnessed the rapid and highly effective impact of EMDR. Seeing the effects clients experience during and after an EMDR session is remarkable and gives my work deep meaning. It is precisely this visible impact that has motivated me to make EMDR therapy accessible through my own practice in the Algarve.

In my practice, I focus primarily on EMDR therapy, supplemented when necessary with other evidence-based approaches. I have experience treating trauma, including accidents and distressing events, as well as issues such as abandonment, parent-child difficulties, sexual trauma, abuse, animal phobias, agoraphobia, negative self-image, loss of control, fear of the future, post-injury complaints, and other impactful experiences. My approach is careful and tailored to the client’s needs at any given moment.

I place great value on a safe and respectful therapeutic relationship, where clients feel heard and taken seriously. Therapy at Light Horizon – EMDR is based on collaboration and transparency. There is always room for questions and feedback throughout the process. Together, we work purposefully toward recovery, at a pace that suits your needs and abilities.
