About Me: I am originally from Brazil, and I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I am a cross-cultural neuropsychologist, and I have been a part of the clinical team at the Ottawa Centre for Resilience (OCFR) since 2022. I am a registered neuropsychologist with the College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysts of Ontario. I specialize in neuropsychological assessment and treatment, assisting those who struggle with difficulties in paying attention, remembering things, solving problems, learning, relating to peers and family members, and managing their own behaviour. I also have experience working with and assessing organic and acquired brain disorders, including brain injury, brain tumors, anoxia, strokes, toxins, hypoxia, near drowning, and degenerative diseases.

I perform assessments for:
• ADHD
• Learning Disability
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Seizure Disorder
• FASD

Who I Work With:
• Children
• Teenagers
• Parents

My Approach: I aim to understand how a child learns best, why a child may have behaviour problems, help a child deal with thinking and behaviour problems, and identify neurological or psychiatric problems. I work with parents/caregivers, doctors, and teachers to develop the best treatment and school plan for their child or teenager.

How I Can Help: Through neuropsychological assessment and treatment, my goal is to help parents/caregivers, educators, and health care providers better understand how problems with the brain may relate to issues seen at school, at home, or with peers.
