I believe that growth happens when we are in connection with trusted others. I strive to build a strong, emotionally safe, affirming, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients. I also believe in the value of exploring earlier experiences and the importance of understanding yourself in terms of the socio-cultural and familial contexts you are embedded in.

Are you looking to break a cycle that has been playing out in your life on repeat? Are you interested in changing your patterns of behavior in relationships with others? Healing is hard, but staying put is harder. I specialize in Child & Adolescents & Autism alongside with Relationship Issues and Childhood Trauma. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to share what is important to them. I am on your team, from the beginning, where creating that authenticity and honest therapeutic relationship is important, including humor when appropriate.

I have been working as a psychoanalyst for almost twenty years and understand how challenging it can be to seek help at times. However, as we all need assistance at various moments in our lives, embarking on psychotherapy is an important step. Working with psychoanalysis can help you better understand the past experiences that shaped your character, as well as your future, desires, goals you aspire to achieve and the fears and obstacles you encounter. I can listen to patients in English, Portuguese (my native language), and Spanish. I have experience with student's mental health, depression, anxiety, psychosis and another diagnosis.

I believe that everyone has their potential already within them. Because of this, therapy is a place to discover what is possible and to provide the structure, tools, and outside perspective to more consistently bring your authentic self into your everyday. As we grow, we find that the ways we’ve seen and known ourselves no longer work for us, and the people around us change the dynamics in which we operate. Whether it is big life changes and self image issues to sexuality and relationship challenges, we have to take responsibility for our part and direct our effort to the areas where we have influence and control.

Throughout the course of our lives, all of us experience challenging relationship dynamics, family expectations, losses, traumas, societal pressures, oppressive structures, and/or shifts in our identity. Due to these, over time we may find ourselves disconnected from our sense of self and no longer clear on what we need, want, or feel. We may struggle to be present or to be in tune with our bodies. We may feel like we're living for others, rather than for ourselves. Therapy is one way that we can process, heal, and understand these experiences in order to re-embody who we are and who we want to be.

Diversity of sexual and gender identities are areas of specialty.

I specialize in working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence or relationship challenges, chronic pain/illness, and substance use issues. I also appreciate the beautiful tangents, metaphors, and insights from my work with neurodiverse clients. Much of my work focused on helping clients examine how trauma has shaped their lives, decisions, & current circumstances and find ways to heal. Finding meaning and insight from the connections and patterns we can see in the past and present is key to informing the work we can do together to pursue a more intentional and satisfying future.

I am a strength based, future-foused clinician who facilitates therapy as an experiential process. I enable clients to access their own personal history of learnings and achievements while guiding them to create future memories of success. I incorporate mindfullness, hypnnotic zone exercises, and solution-focused/strategic therapies to help clients become smart enough to know when to stop thinking. What-iffing, Why-ing, and Self-Criticizing clients are welcome to experience a peak performance therapy that allows them to access, reconnect with, and be their best self. I also work extensively with athletes, corporate professionals, and performers.

People try everything they can to solve their difficulties on their own before calling a therapist. It's precisely our own personal luggage that disables us from fulfilling our own potential and making the changes we so desire. Finding a therapist who is right for you can help you gain a better understanding of yourself and can be very useful to getting you to where you want to be. What is most important is that you feel free to talk about whatever is currently distressing you the most. For that, you need to ensure that you are a good fit with your therapist.

In a world that can feel increasingly polarized, our conversations make a difference in how we go on. Each interaction shapes the possibility for bringing us closer together or pushing us further apart. As we feel more understood, respected, and capable, we can turn towards one another with more compassion and capacity for connection. I offer a curious and non-pathologizing approach to creating our conversations. Together, we can put language to your experiences and make new meaning of pain, trauma, and grief. Tangible transformations in our lives and relationships are possible when we feel most connected to ourselves and to others.
