Emotionally Focused Therapists in Haverhill, MA

As a Hypnotherapist, I feel the client has the "answer" within, and thus is empowered by the process. The mind /body connection is explained and then experienced as they are guided into a relaxed yet focused state ("trance" or alpha state) and thus able to tap the power of the subconscious mind. Hypnosis reprograms the mind like a computer so that the client can more powerfully direct their conscious attitudes and behaviors to ultimately manifest their goals. The client then must be open and willing to continue with the attitudinal and behavioral changes in their daily lives.

I am a Portuguese speaking therapist that empowers individuals to achieve their life goals. My passion to empower individuals has been the driving force behind my practice with a focus on working with persons across the lifespan who struggle with mood and substance abuse disorders, grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, EMDR & EFT Therapist, and Reiki Practitioner I use a trauma-informed, somatic approach to therapy.

You’re good at so many things, but you struggle in relationships, with confidence in who you are, or managing grief. Therapy will help you tap into your natural ability for deep connection, inner strength, and healing.

In Grief- you get overwhelmed, and don’t know where to start to feel better? You're ready to master relationships, heal, and be unapologetically yourself.

I believe in the transformative power of the client-therapist alliance, emphasizing trust, empathy, and authenticity to build strong therapeutic relationships where clients may feel accepted, validated, and empowered. I offer a collaborative and compassionate approach, integrating a blend of relational, psychodynamic, cognitive, and somatic therapies in my practice.

I enjoy working with individuals within all of the clinical social work areas but specifically specialize within anxiety and depression. I utilize a variety of modules in supporting the individual as a whole towards recovery.

My approach to the therapeutic process is to help others find the unique talents and gifts they already possess within themselves. From this framework, I employ a diverse approach, utilizing research-proven methods including: a strengths-based perspective, a client-centered approach, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, serving a multi-cultural and wide range of socio-economic backgrounds. By introducing you to these systems, we as a team can then begin work on overcoming such obstacles as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, anger management problems, substance abuse struggles, as well as a myriad of other hurdles.
