Hi, I’m Rita.

I’m a passionate Clinical Psychologist dedicated to mental health, with a focus on couples and family therapy. I hold a Master's in Clinical and Health Psychology from the University of Lisbon, Portugal. With four years of experience, I have honed my skills in navigating intricate dynamics within couples and families.

In my therapeutic space, you can expect a collaborative, non-judgmental, and supportive environment, where our work is grounded in evidence-based techniques. We act as scientists, studying your life, committed to understanding the causes of your difficulties and what can lead to positive changes and growth.

As someone who experienced the benefits of therapy first-hand, I found that I wanted to be someone who helps others thrive. The privilege of doing so fills me with gratitude and guides every part of my clinical practice.

If you're concerned about therapy, know that feeling uncomfortable is normal. Feel free to bring any topic into our conversations - building a trusting relationship is crucial for successful outcomes.
