Gabriela is a psychologist, psychoanalyst, and researcher. Her career is intertwined with multidisciplinarity. Dedicated to a clinical practice attentive to the complex narratives of the contemporary subject, she specializes in the intersectionality of psychoanalysis, philosophy, gender, sexuality, and class studies.

 

Committed to the analytical three-pronged approach, she trained at the International Institute of Psychoanalysis, undergoing personal analysis, and supervision. Her career has brought her to the birthplace of Lacanian psychoanalysis: in France, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in psychoanalysis at the University of Montpellier Paul-Valéry. Gabriela's research focuses on revisiting the foundations of psychoanalysis, including the perspective of female authors. Her latest monograph explored the role of the Greek figure Antigone and examines the "consecrated" interpretation of Jacques Lacan through this lens, engaging with authors such as Luce Irigaray and Judith Butler. The goal is to build an updated education for contemporary clinical practice.

 

Her academic career began with law, where she researched the relationship between memory and criminal procedural law to highlight how fragile memory can be as a means of criminal evidence. Thus, combining the fundamental role of psychology from an early age, Gabriela was able to identify gaps in criminal procedural law that undermine the protection of the rights of vulnerable individuals.

 

As a psychologist in Brazil, she dedicated herself to public health at the Psychosocial Care Center - Alcohol and Drugs (CAPS AD), forging a practice grounded in harm reduction policies and committed to ethical, anti-asylum, and depathologizing psychology. To this end, outreach projects in mental and public health were fundamental to her training.

 

This confluence of knowledge is the raw material that strengthens the ethical and political reflections that are inseparable from clinical practice.
