I use an integrative therapeutic approach that encompasses client-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
I believe in the importance of therapy as a vital instrument, not just for preventing and treating mental disorders but also for enhancing the overall quality of people's lives. With more than 15 years of experience as a licensed counselor in Brazil and two years as an LPC - Associate in Texas, I possess fluency in both Portuguese and English, enabling me to communicate adeptly with diverse populations. I strongly uphold the transformative potential of the therapeutic relationship, and my objective is to offer counseling that facilitates positive life changes for individuals.

Hi! While it is necessary to introduce myself according to my education, experience, licensing, and specializations it is more important to let you know that I am a human first. I live life just like you and experience parenting pitfalls, marriage challenges, financial quandaries, and all of the other stuff that life is made of. My role in your life isn’t to tell you what to do or how to do it, it is to use the clinical skills I’ve learned, wisdom I’ve gained, and my clinical experience to help you navigate and heal from the “stuff” in your life.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3 “I’ve always found the serenity prayer encouraging: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference…” I pursued counseling as a profession because I believe people can be equipped with the tools they need to process their pain, the courage needed to adjust their sails to the winds, and wisdom to confidently navigate the storms of life.”

I help successful professionals figure out what’s missing. If you don’t know why you’re not happy, let’s talk. If that harsh Inner Critic berates you, let’s talk. Maybe Imposter Syndrome follows you around. Maybe you had an unstable childhood, and no matter how much you achieve, you can’t shake that feeling of being “less than” others. You’re lonely, anxious, and hard on yourself...even though everyone around you thinks you’re so impressive! I help people just like you quiet the Critic, ditch the shame, and feel alive and happy, often for the first time in years.

Waitlist for new clients
Leading others through ministry has been rewarding, but the constant grind has brought on exhaustion, chronic unease, physical problems, and anxiety. Unfortunately, these are "normal" in your life. You’ve had to press forward to achieve goals and suppress your own needs. When others see your life, they see someone who has it together, but you know the chaos inside. You have ideals you never seem to meet, leaving you feeling demoralized. You would give almost anything to have real REST, but no matter what you try, you cannot relax or find peace. You know this is not how you are meant to live.

Integrative Therapists
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
