Hi, I am Marina!

I strongly believe that we can change our lives through self-awareness.

As a Psychologist and Therapist I can help you in this journey towards a life that's more genuine and aligned with yourself.

I focus on working with expats and immigrants living all over the world.

About me

I'm a Brazilian psychologist, living in the Netherlands since 2019.

I work as a Psychologist and Therapist, supporting expats and immigrants around the world.

My practice is grounded in continuous studies in Psychology, over 10 years of experience in the organizational field, years of clinical work, and my own personal journey as an immigrant.

I hope to help you in this self-awareness journey!

I obtained my Bachelor's degree (BA) in Psychology at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) in 2016. My diploma was officially validated in the Netherlands by Nuffic.

"Marina, I noticed that your career hasn't always been in the clinical field. Why should I choose you as my psychologist?"

Exactly because my career has not followed a linear path, I believe that I can help you with a broad and comprehensive perspective on your story and who you are as a person.

I strongly believe that all the experiences we have had, both professionally and personally, make us who we are. And that applies to me as well!

Today, my focus is 100% as a Psychologist, which means that all my studies and development are directed towards it.
