Clinical Psychologist, graduated in Psychology from the University of Madeira and Master's degree in Clinical and Health Psychology from the University of Maia - ISMAI. Full member of the Portuguese Psychologists Order (OPP 24661). Currently, I am a Research Fellow funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Maia. My clinical practice as a Psychologist has been mainly developed at the Center for Psychological Support and Service of the University of Maia (CASP). In recent years, I have collaborated on several ongoing research projects at the University of Maia, notably participating in iCare4Depression: Combining face-to-face psychotherapy with digital mobile and internet solutions as a therapist; and in the SafeCheck App - Assessment and management of risk with victims of domestic violence, as a researcher, where I am an author and co-author of two scientific articles. My current research interests focus on: (1) identifying and evaluating indicators of psychopathology in the public discourse of the Portuguese population, using natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms; and (2) mapping client semantic networks throughout the therapeutic process as a possible indicator of change. Previously, I have also conducted research focused on therapeutic responsiveness and the therapeutic change process in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for depression.
