This is Me

Founder & CEO at Exploring the Passion

Neuroscience & Mental Health Researcher 

MSc. Candidate at Warwick Medical School

I am passionate about bridging the gap between neuroscience research, psychological frameworks, and practical, compassionate mental health support.

As an MSc candidate and postgraduate researcher at Warwick Medical School, I investigate the neural and psychological mechanisms that shape mental health, emotional wellbeing, and human relationships.

My work combines scientific research with practical expertise in emotional intelligence, counselling, and personal development, enabling me to translate complex neuroscientific and psychological concepts into accessible, evidence-informed strategies for everyday life.

I am also the Founder and CEO of Exploring the Passion, where I support individuals and couples through counselling, relationship coaching, workshops, keynote speaking engagements, and other educational initiatives. My approach is culturally sensitive and integrative, drawing on my Brazilian background, psychoanalytic foundations, neuroscience, and contemporary psychological research.

Living and working in Finland has further shaped my commitment to multicultural mental health and community wellbeing. Here, I have received training in Mental Health First Aid, KOTU, and Toivo facilitation, and I actively volunteer with MIELI Without Borders and Miitti, supporting peer groups and mental health initiatives for international and multicultural communities.

Through my academic, professional, and community work, my goal is to help people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop practical tools for lasting emotional wellbeing.
