About Me

​​​

I earned my medical school training at Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston, Texas, along with an advanced degree in Neuroscience research. From the start, I was drawn to Psychiatry as a field where science, creativity, and human connection powerfully intersect. It challenges psychiatrists to operate at various spheres of knowledge that offer incomplete insights and to embrace with how unique personal traits reshape established diagnostic conceptualizations. Over the years, I have contributed to NIH-sponsored neurobiological research focused on psychotic spectrum disorders. In my private practice, I merge scientific inquisitiveness and discipline with a personable clinical approach, collaborating closely with my clients on their journeys.

I am fluent Brazilian Portuguese and proficient in Spanish.
