About Me
As a psychiatrist based in Porto Alegre, Brazil, I’ve committed my career to supporting the mental health and well-being of my patients. After earning my medical degree from the Federal University of Uberlândia, I began my residency in psychiatry at UFCSPA, where I’ve been refining my skills in both clinical care and psychiatric emergencies.

I have a particular interest in innovative treatments such as ketamine therapy, having completed a specialized internship in the U.S. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I actively contribute to the field through academic research, presentations, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
