Portuguese Therapists in New Brunswick, NJ

In our fast-paced world, feeling stressed, lonely, and confused is easy. How do I navigate these emotions, and who can I trust to help me process my fears, doubts, and deep secrets without judgment? With that in mind, I want every patient to walk into my room and know they have someone who will listen, connect, empathize with, and encourage growth.

Looking to make changes in your life or need some guidance in working through life's challenges? I specialize in treating adolescents and adults who are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-injurious behavior, sexual trauma, domestic violence, family conflict, relationship issues and career changes. I also work with young adults, women and children who have been impacted by trauma and help support women in their recovery from betrayal and abusive relationships.

Together we will tailor a treatment that is both comprehensive and responsive to your needs.

If you are seeing this message, I am proud of you and know it is not easy for you (and/or your child) to be in this stage of life. Working with youth up to 18 years, the typical concerns my clients (and caregiver) express are behavioral challenges, attention difficulties, low self-esteem, interpersonal issues, mood, anxiety, trauma, family concerns and life cycle transitions.

No Waiting List! Being a parent is not what you expected. This pretty picture everyone paints about having a child and a happy family has not been your experience. “Enjoy every moment. It goes by so fast”, they say. Well what should you enjoy? The constant screaming, crying, diaper changes, feedings, laundry, sleepless nights... You don’t get a break. You are constantly worrying. Is the baby eating enough? What if they are overeating? Are they cold? Are they hot? Are they sick?
