The most important component of a therapy is to build up a warm and trustful relationship between therapist and patient.
I have 40 years of clinical experience in Brazil and in the US assisting patients with all types of disorders as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, trauma, alcohol/substance abuse disorders, family conflicts and psychosomatic issues. From 2006 until 2010 I developed a program named "Men Against Violence" providing counseling and educative presentations to the community. The program was designed to prevent family conflicts, traumatic experiences for women/children and counseling man at risk of violence. I developed an expertise approaching men who tend to be very resistant in looking for treatment.

I work with adults on a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, life/career transitions, and relationship problems. My interactive, direct and collaborative style helps clients understand the cause of their issues and gives them practical tools to alleviate symptoms. While I tailor my therapeutic approach to each patient, I draw most heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a well-researched approach to effectively treat many presenting concerns.

I work compassionately with generally high-functioning adults who may be experiencing a range of potential symptoms that diminish their mental and/or physical health and well-being. These may include anxiety, perfectionism, and performance challenges; self-esteem and self-worth; overweight and disordered eating; managing chronic disease; grief and loss; depression; relationship challenges with friends, partners, and family members; and life and career transitions that may include finding meaning in life. I often work with people who simply find life is easier when they have a non-judgmental connection outside of their usual circles.

Are you exhausted from dealing with a narcissist or toxic relationship, whether it’s with a partner, ex, or family member? Have you tried everything to successfully interact with this person but still find yourself suffering, going in circles, and feeling utterly drained? You may even be questioning your own sanity, wondering if you’re the crazy one. To make matters worse, the toxic person may have manipulated others into believing they are the victim, and it’s unbearable to watch everyone else fall for their facade when you know the truth. You’re not alone and you’re not crazy. I have so been there and understand the struggle!

I believe that lasting change occurs in the context of a collaborative relationship based on mutually understood goals.
I have experience helping people of diverse backgrounds and identities in various stages of life, including adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults, as they explore issues that arise through transitions, losses, daily stresses, and changing relationships as well as experiences of grief, trauma, family issues, identity exploration, divorce, infertility, depression, and anxiety. Different phases of life can bring new challenges or raise old concerns that we thought were behind us. I assist people in exploring their current worries in response to specific goals as well as the desire for deeper understanding.

I know therapy can be hard sometimes, so I use humor and a warm, positive relationship to lighten the difficult moments.

If your self-limiting thoughts and anxieties are disrupting your life or getting in the way of you enjoying your relationships or parenting, I can help. Drawing from a range of evidence based treatment modalities, including CBT, psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness, I offer a strengths-based perspective to the therapeutic relationship. We will work together to explore the patterns, habits and beliefs that get in the way and practice new ways of pushing past what holds you back. As a SPACE informed clinician, I particularly enjoy working with parents of children/teens managing anxiety related disorders.

We all have relationship deal breakers which can cause deep pain.
Counseling gives you an opportunity to manifest the life you deserve. It can be difficult to see beyond the behaviors and patterns holding you back when you’re stuck in unproductive cycles. In therapy, you can begin the process of healing so that you can effectively open yourself up to the right kind of relationships that will meet your needs. Throughout counseling, I will gently challenge you to dig deeper into your history and past wounds so that you can begin to see where certain obstacles originated. By untangling some of these elements, you can clarify what you want and need out of life. I am here to help you through this.

No couples openings until September. If you in a relationship and are struggling or just wanting to build on the positive life you have built together, we will work to address the concerns in your relationship - improving communication, enhancing or restoring intimacy, increasing friendship, having more fun together, repairing past hurts and resolving conflicts more effectively. We will identify the relationship challenges you are facing, their underlying causes and the dreams you each have for your relationship. We can then together change the behaviors and thought patterns that are keeping you from being the couple you want to be.

The relationship we have with ourselves sets the bar for all our other relationships, and through our relationships with others, we can heal ourselves if we know how. Together, we’ll develop and use strategies that consider both your strengths and challenges so that you have a real chance of changing the patterns that are no longer serving you. My goal is to walk beside you, and as you point us in a direction, I’ll support you by shining a light on your path. It can feel too hard to take steps when you can’t see what’s ahead of you, but once you know the terrain, it’s much easier to move through- especially with a trained guide.

Mothers face unique challenges throughout their lifetimes. Counseling and coaching are supportive tools that help us navigate life, heal, and understand ourselves more profoundly and meaningfully. Even when our outer worlds are seemingly at peace, many women struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, prioritizing real self-care, identity, and health and wellness goals. My holistic approach addresses somatic, cognitive, relational, and emotional concerns while providing education as needed. I aim to help mothers of all ages, wherever they are, on their journey to optimal mental health.

Hello and welcome! Do you feel stuck - maybe in a difficult relationship with someone important or in a complicated relationship with yourself? Does it seem as if you will never become unstuck? Are anxiety, depression, self-defeating behavior or relationship issues standing between you and your happiness or personal goals? My aim is to help you begin healing as quickly as possible, even when the issues are long-standing. Together, we will explore the present and seek out transformational processes, rather than focus on the past or simply relive old wounds as a more traditional approach might.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
