I am a psychologist, a professor, and a researcher and I enjoy trying to mix these facets in my life. I’ve been particularly interested in relational processes in psychotherapy from different orientations and in the subject of mentalization applied to various aspects of mental health.
Relationships are at the heart of human development and adaptation. As a professor and researcher at U.Porto, I am particularly interested in various relational contexts and dynamics, as well as emotion regulation strategies individuals use facing challenging transitions, whether in adversity or in thriving.
