Throughout a large part of my life, I struggled to figure out where I belonged. Growing up, my coping strategies were reactivity and survival. I began to notice that my life was starting to feel 'automatic' and 'meaningless' I then realized inner work was the answer. I embarked on a journey to figure out how to feel better and help the "child" in me find closure. I struggled with managing myself in a way that was congruent with who I knew I could be. Can you relate? Do you feel out of place in the roles you play? Do you lack connection and meaning? Do you want to live a life that aligns with your purpose?

What’s on your mind? From finding the right words- to saying them out loud- giving voice to your thoughts can be scary. Struggles with relationships, self-esteem, anxiety and immigration can feel overwhelming to anyone. Finding a safe space and a non-judgmental perspective can be one of the best ways to process your feelings or thoughts. Having lived and worked in Brazil, the U.S., and Canada, I understand how different experiences and cultures can help shape who we are. I bring this empathy- and curiosity- to my practice. I can help you find out how to feel like yourself again, even if you're at a different phase of your life.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
