I'm a Certified Sex Therapist with Gottman Method training and trauma focused training. I work with couples who experience difficulties surrounding ADHD struggles within the relationship. There aren’t many places to turn to when you have questions about your body, about why your relationship feels so stuck, or why it’s so damn scary to ask for what you want. This is what I am here for. To give you the space to explore without judgement.

, a closer relationship with yourself & loved ones, helps bring change into focus.
What dreams do you want to manifest? What does your inner child want you to know? What parts of yourself want to be awakened?

Wherever you are in life, I meet you with guidance to empower you to reject a false self so that your true self is accepted. Accepting yourself may mean accepting your feelings, identity, perspective, values, and authentic inner nature! I believe you have the power within to manifest changes in your unique reality. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ people, trauma survivors, children, youth, and young adults.

The relationship with your therapist is the building block in the therapeutic process, and choosing a therapist can be a daunting and exhausting task.
Everyone has a story, with both highs and lows, both challenges and gifts and with infinite opportunities to grow. As in any story, the setting and other characters all influence you and what happens, including institutional systems, social constructs and family dynamics. The roles we take on and the patterns we develop to get through one chapter may not always be helpful to us in later ones. I believe there is power and healing in telling your story and that with guidance, you can own it, rewrite aspects of it, and choose what role you play. I believe we are all capable of changing our lives and that no change is insignificant.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process of growth and change, that begins with a trusting, compatible relationship between you and me.
Just because you wear it well doesn't mean its not heavy. Does your outward smile hide the pain you are feeling inside? Many of my clients have struggled with drugs or alcohol problems and have feelings of shame and hopelessness often trying to hide the issue from others. I've also helped many people who love someone; a spouse, child or parent with an addiction, but who have lost their sense of normalcy in the process. I also have expertise in treating problems like anxiety, depression, relationship problems and trauma/PTSD.

No matter who you are or where you’ve been, we will work to create a safe space and a therapeutic relationship built on trust.
I established my therapy practice to emphasize to you and whoever walks through my doors, that you are welcome here. So… Welcome! Sharing who you are with someone you have yet to meet takes a lot of courage and vulnerability. I have a lot of respect for those taking this, often challenging, step to seek therapeutic support. I view therapy as a space for us to collaborate and work together to understand and define the goals and changes you wish to see for yourself. Together we will explore thoughts, feelings and challenges so we can work towards the life you want to be living.

Kids are often just as clueless as we are, when trying to figure out why they are acting out. Everyone experiences an asverse reaction to life that at times may feel impossible to navigate. These reactions are intensified and more difficult if you are a child without the tools you need to express yourself. Trauma often contributes and deepens the pain we are feeling, and close us off from healthy expression, growth and healing. Many of us struggle with impulse control issues, self-defeating patterns, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I have extensive work experience with children, adolescents, and individuals with trauma.

I specialize in working with individuals seeking support related to relationship concerns, racial/ethnic identity, challenges specific to women, difficult family dynamics, and complex trauma.
With almost 10 years of experience between Brazil and the U.S., I have learned that mental health, an essential aspect of general health, can be easily overlooked. However, life can be overwhelming at times, and we may find ourselves facing challenges that seem impossible to handle or process. During these difficult periods, psychotherapy can be a powerful tool for healing, personal growth, and increasing self-knowledge. Together, we can explore emotions and feelings, collaborate in identifying your needs and conflicts, and create a more meaningful life.
