Congratulations! You have taken the first step into healing! Life is a constant learning experience to adapt to different cultures, situations, social groups and roles. Sometimes we may need somebody's insight, validation and support when walking in unknown territory. Whether the reason for seeking therapy is trauma, mental health issues or life changes, I believe we are all capable of resolving our own issues as long as there is awareness, understanding and willingness to face those challenges. Send me a text today to schedule a free consultation.
I have extensive experience counseling clients with trauma, anxiety and depression, among other issues. I offer telehealth services exclusively so you can get the help you need wherever you are! Let me assists you to, not only recognize the reason and root of your emotional hardship, but also to bring about the tools necessary to accept and heal yourself.
Let's get you to learn and use strategies catered to your specific needs so you can become a better equipped and resilient individual through life's constant changes. Whether you speak English, Portuguese or a mixture of both, I would love to be the person who will bring about change for a better, fulfilling life. I accept clients in the states of NY and FL
