MY VISION
"To be truly free we must be willing to pay the price of freedom." M.A. Singer
Law and justice must serve freedom. Yet true freedom also depends on an internal process through which we cross the boundary of fear and pain. We are all responsible for applying the law to ourselves and to others, and for seeking healthy and balanced relationships.
The family is the main social context in which we must play our part and assume our responsibility: building healthy relationships, bringing more awareness to the way we relate to each other and learning to express our emotions constructively.
I advocate more conscious relationships, bearing in mind that, in the context of family issues, it's important to work on the rights of each party and, in parallel, the emotions and pain that are present. Addressing and working on these two aspects simultaneously enables conflict to be resolved more authentically and effectively.
Understanding one's rights and making decisions with awareness would be the best starting point for a healthy relationship. We can be free in the relationship and remain free to leave it, consciously, with the support we need and deserve to defend our rights and manage our emotions.
LAWYER
I graduated from Lisbon Law School and have been a member of the Lisbon Bar since 2008. I hold a Master's degree in Law & Management (MLM) from the Nova School of Economics, completed the Family Mediation course in 2020 at the Institute of Mediation of Portugal (IMAP) and concluded the Systemic Law course at the Facultad Innovare de São Paulo in 2021.
I worked as a trainee lawyer (between 2005 and 2008) and associate lawyer (between 2008 and 2012) at PLMJ - Sociedade de Advogados, in the real estate law practice area, collaborating in other areas of law to French-speaking clients.
For 6 years, I dedicated my time to my family and my 4 children, taking the opportunity to develop other types of skills related to psychological and personal development, completing Rebirthing Therapist training in 2020.
My mother language is Portuguese, but I'm also a French speaker thanks to my studies at the French lycée. I'm also fluent in Spanish and English.
