04 / JOURNEY AND EDUCATION

Clinical practice,
study and perspective.

My journey brings together Psychology, Neuropsychology, International Relations and Photography, alongside an interest in languages, cultures and the ways we build our stories.

Along the way, I have taken part in academic projects and developed my own creative work. Today, I continue studying and developing my clinical practice in dialogue with these experiences. This path also includes participation in study groups, including Laço Analítico.

07 / PROJECTS

Study. Write.
Make connections.

Psychology is the thread connecting my research, writing and creative projects. Here is a selection of that work.

RESEARCH / PUBLISHED IN 2023

The body, the mirror
and the world around us.

What happens when the body becomes a demand for perfection?

My undergraduate research explored muscle dysmorphia through a psychoanalytic perspective on the body and contemporary society. It led to an article co-authored with Helena Amstalden Imanishi in Atas de Ciências da Saúde.

Read the article in Portuguese

A closer look at the research

The study connects questions about body image, social ideals and the experience of contemporary life. This is theoretical research; it does not provide an individual assessment or diagnosis.

EDITORIAL PROJECT

LEITURAS E MEMÓRIAS
