Você sente que o passado está te roubando do presente? Ou como se o passado continuasse se repetindo? Pode ser um novo relacionamento ou nova situação, mas você continua sentindo aquela angústia como se "estivesse acontecendo tudo de novo". Experiências traumáticas podem deixar feridas muito profundas em nossa psique, na maioria das vezes nem percebemos como essas experiências não processadas continuam impactando nosso presente, inclusive nossos relacionamentos. Aumentar nossa consciência em relação ao nosso passado e entender nossos padrões presentes, sem julgamento, expande nossa capacidade de viver uma vida em totalidade.

My 12 years of experience practicing psychotherapy has been in English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.
Looking for a queer therapist? I specialize in working with queer, non-binary, transgender, gay, & pansexual adults & adolescents in California. I am most passionate about providing advocacy for cultural and economic diversity in our community and serving LGBTQ+ people experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Engaging in therapy is more important than ever especially in response to our current political climate and recent backlash of conservative values showing incredible disrespect toward the LGBTQ+ community and throwing extra stress at immigrant populations and POC.

I support individuals of all ages, address trauma, and welcome diversity, including Portuguese and Spanish speakers.
Have you just experienced a profound life transition such as the loss of a loved one or the transformation of becoming a mother? These monumental changes can sometimes feel really destabilizing. For new mothers, the identity shifts, relationship dynamics, and existential loneliness in the postpartum period can be overwhelming. Similarly, when we lose someone we love, we can feel lost, isolated and debilitated by our grief. When our roles change, we benefit from more support. Together, we can navigate the path of grief, allowing you to honor your loss while finding a way forward.

My approach to therapy emphasizes self knowledge, empowerment and insight helping move towards a more integral, meaningful and gratifying life. It is with passion and kindness that I witness the healing transformation a person goes through in the therapeutic relationship. Originally from Brazil, I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese working with clients who speak these languages. Three theories permeate my work: the Integral theory of Ken Wilber, Psychodynamic theory, and Hakomi. I integrate into the analysis the physical, mental, emotional, and social parts of the self (Integral) in a mindfulness-based, body inclusive, and experiential perspective (Hakomi).

Using the words of a mentor, "Witnessing another is one of the most profound acts of kindness and healing possible." My deep belief, rooted in both my practice as a therapist and in my experience healing my own trauma, is that our brains and bodies have the innate ability to heal from trauma when provided with a safe enough space to connect to and experience our internal world. As human beings, we are neurobiologically wired to be in relationships with others. therapy, I take a person-centered approach—you’ll get a chance to share all of your feelings and be heard and understood.

As a therapist, I enjoy cultivating authentic relationships with clients and learning about the communities in which you both thrive in and have endured pain in. I’m curious about how you connect with others and how your past experiences impact your relationships and the energy you carry every day. Cross-cultural differences, family systems, and past trauma can make navigating our interpersonal relationships messy and cloud our thoughts. We’ll explore your narrative and the lens through which you see yourself to better understand and rebuild your relationship with yourself and others.

So many of us find ourselves in a cycle of conflict with our partners, feeling frustrated, unheard, and alone. The prevailing cultural norms around gender roles, love, and relationships often lead us to this place of confusion, hopelessness, and heartache. Our culture and institutions have normalized disconnection and inauthenticity, leading to a crisis of disconnection from each other and ourselves. Our hearts may feel hardened or broken, and we might be caught in a cloud of cynicism and hopelessness. But we can regain control and build more meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

No matter who we are or what our background in life, much of our behavior is influenced by our unconscious mind, and I have learned that facing these unconscious motives in a relational therapy setting can lead to psychological healing, especially when combined with the physical body and somatic experiences. I enjoy engaging with clients in exploration, analysis, and reflective interpretation, and through this, developing a path of healing and growth.
