I also provide therapy in Portuguese and English.
Addiction/substance use, trauma, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety can take a lot of bravery to attack head on. As a therapist, I aim to create a warm environment that encourages vulnerability. I know therapy can be a challenging next step. It takes a lot of strength to want to change what is no longer serving you. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and I am committed to making it as effective and inviting as possible for teens, young adults, adults, families, and couples. I am so excited to work with you.

I am an Attachment Therapist. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, interactive and individualized. I work together with clients assisting them to reach personal fulfillment, healthy and rewarding relationships, and empowerment. We accomplish this by overcoming longstanding obstacles, such as, negative thoughts, behaviors or emotions. Emotional limitations and fears are explored and conquered through insight and mindfulness, leading to clarity of understanding your path for personal growth. Insight opens the path to conquer obstacles, the way for cognitive behavioral changes, helps you achieve balance, reach your full potential and live a healthier life filled with joy and a sense of freedom.

Dar o primeiro passo para começar a fazer terapia já é desafiador… Agora imagine ter que falar em inglês enquanto sua mente pensa em português? Como traduzir coisas que só quem é brasileiro entende? Saudades, afeto, angústia… Viver em outro país traz muitos desafios. Aprendemos a nos reinventar, adaptar à outra cultura, e lidar com a saudade e às muitas transições. Tudo isso pode ser frustrante, muitas vezes causando ansiedade, isolamento, sensação de não pertencimento, e depressão. Estou aqui para apoiá-lo enquanto criamos um espaço seguro para você explorar sua jornada e seus objetivos.

Você tem tido dificuldade com alguma situação e sofre com isso? Já tentou “tudo”, mas continua se sentindo sem saída e imerso em sofrimento psíquico, o qual pode se manifestar como isolamento, auto-crítica, desesperança, preocupação, medo, insatisfação, conflitos interpessoais, mudanças de humor, dissociação da realidade, sensação de perseguição, etc? Você tem se perguntado se algumas das dificuldades que você tem enfrentado - como, ser incapaz de agir ou repetidamente fazer escolhas erradas - podem dizer algo sobre seus dilemas subjetivos? Essa é a hora de fazer análise.

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.

You are constantly battling with your negative thoughts. The weight of PTSD, severe anxiety, and panic is an immense burden, one that shapes every moment of your day. Each thought that crosses your mind seems to carry a sharp edge, cutting into your peace and leaving you raw and exposed. You’ve spent so much time fighting against your anxiety, trying to suppress it, hide it, or force it away. This internal war has only amplified your suffering, creating a vicious cycle where the harder you push back, the stronger it seems to become. It's exhausting, isn’t it?

Feeling exhausted by self-defeating thoughts, behaviors or situations you can’t seem to break away from? A fresh perspective and understanding may help. Imagine walking down a dark trail at night. While you lead our way, I follow just behind, but with a flashlight, illuminating useful sights along our path. This is the therapeutic process, and it can be a powerful vehicle to greater self-understanding, acceptance and change.
