As a Professor at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Lisbon for over twenty years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching Psychological Assessment to aspiring psychologists. With a PhD in Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from the University of Lisbon, my teaching and research benefit from both academic expertise and clinical practical experience.

I am certified in Psychotherapy and in Clinical and Health Psychology by the Portuguese Psychologists Association, reflecting my commitment to clinical practice.

I am member of the Research Center for Psychological Science (CICPSI) and my research focuses on applied psychology, particularly in personality, psychopathology, and psychological assessment. I work across various settings, from communities to mental health contexts, aiming to uncover insights that foster positive change and resilience.

In summary, I’m devoted to enhancing the field of psychology through teaching, research, and clinical practice, aiming to improve the well-being of individuals and communities.
