I have been a psychiatrist for over 35 years and currently work in a private practice in Curitiba.

After graduation, I worked as a psychiatrist in several public and private psychiatric hospitals, participating in interdisciplinary teams. I have always valued the humanization of treatment and encouraged the participation and support of the family, as I realized the importance of family dynamics in the process of illness and recovery of the patient. After all, the treatment process can favor the overcoming of conflicts and the renewal of emotional bonds.

Since the beginning of my medical career, the fact of being faced with the suffering of patients awakened in me a strong desire to work in the prevention of psychiatric illnesses.

In this search for other preventive resources and motivated by the desire to know more about human beings and their stages of development, I began studying Anthroposophy and completed my training in Anthroposophic Medicine in São Paulo-SP in 1994. This was a very significant moment that positively and definitively influenced my personal and professional life.

In 2004, with the purpose of putting the principles of Anthroposophy into practice, I created the Inova Clinic, which offered, in addition to expanded Psychiatry, complementary therapies such as medicinal baths and massages.

At the same time, with an educational purpose, I gave several lectures on health promotion and human development.

And, considering that Waldorf Pedagogy essentially brings together the elements of preventive medicine, I created the Curumim Catu Pedagogical Association with other families, which maintains Jardim Luz do Sol.

I also deepened my knowledge in Psychiatry applied to Oncology, participating in medical events in Brazil and abroad and visiting anthroposophic hospitals in Switzerland and Germany.

In the various environments in which I have worked, I continue to promote Anthroposophy to health professionals and the general public, being responsible for coordinating workshops and lectures on various topics of interest related to Health Prevention and Promotion, Salutogenesis and Early Childhood Education and Parental Guidance.

Keeping this same intention, I also started to publicize these themes in digital media, with the great determination to learn how to deal with this virtual territory, however, maintaining more humanized professional relationships and the true desire to heal, which are characteristic of my style.

Because I believe that there is an increasing need to offer other ways of treating the complexity of human beings, with an integral vision, with natural therapeutic resources, I consider that prevention is also the function of the psychiatrist.

Therefore, I invite you to get to know my work better.
