Obrigado por tirar um momento para olhar o meu perfil. Eu sou um terapeuta que oferece atendimento principalmente à população que tem mais dificuldade no acesso aos serviços de saúde. Refiro-me às pessoas que residem em pequenas cidades e zonas rurais; a população que possui aversão ao sistema de saúde por anteriormente ter enfrentado barreiras e preconceitos; e também à população que muitas vezes encontra dificuldades para acessar o próprio sistema, como as comunidades imigrantes e de refugiados.

Hi! My name is Ana, I'm a Registered Counsellor, and one of my life's purposes is to help my clients understand themselves deeply. Do you repeat unwanted behaviours without knowing how to stop them? Are those actions affecting your relationships and day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious or flooded with emotions? Do you hope to improve the relationships you have with others and yourself? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I see you. And I know how hard it is to navigate life feeling stuck or lost. I would love to support you in embracing the changes you need to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Dealing with changes or transitions in our lives can be a painful process. You may feel overwhelmed with emotions and uncertainties about your future. You may feel like the world you used to know changed completely and it has been difficult to reconnect to who you are. You may feel like you need to reconnect and reframe your experiences and need a safe space to take care of your emotional health. I know that can be challenging to face your vulnerability while everything is changing in a way you cannot control. Allow me to support you in this transformative process.

My approach as a trauma psychotherapist is multi-layered, drawing from a range of modalities, including but not limited to: Compassionate Inquiry (CI), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices. I am also trained in psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy. This broad range of skills allows me to design the most individualized approach for each client’s unique needs. I have a particular interest in trauma, anxiety, addictions, depression, eating disorders, grief, and psychedelic integration.

My practice focuses on the therapeutic power of the arts using self-exploration, creative expression and play. I work with individuals and groups who are experiencing life transitions, challenges, creative blocks or interested in alternatives to talk therapy. I support children and adolescents facing behavioural issues or having difficulty relating to their peers and family. In groups of two or more we explore the richness and challenges of coexistence using alternative and wider forms of dialogue and exploration. I integrate Somatic Experiencing® techniques into my practice.

I work with women who are ready to commit to a deep & conscious spiritual process of healing & transformation. Whether wanting to recover from trauma, feeling lost inside, depressed, anxious, empty, I am committed to supporting your journey. Convinced that no healing happens if body is not involved, my approach weaves somatic therapy, EMDR & cyclical awareness from a humanistic & client centred stance and keeps developing as I keep deepening my research in the areas of trauma, attachment theory, ancestral legacies of trauma & energy healing.

My ideal client is motivated to make positive changes but feels stuck due to stress, anxiety, or burnout, often stemming from high stakes such as raising kids, leadership roles, or athletic performance. Interestingly these all share many traits in common. They may struggle with feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, or difficulties in maintaining a work-life balance.
