I help individuals and couples recover from intimate betrayal and infidelity, with a strong focus on supporting betrayed partners and relationships impacted by problematic sexual behaviours. This includes compulsive sexual behaviour, and sex, love, and pornography addiction.
I am a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist through the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory practitioner, and Certified in the Gottman Method: Treating Affairs and Trauma.
My CSAT training through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), along with Level 1 training in Dr. Omar Minwalla’s Deceptive Sexuality and Trauma Treatment model (DSTT) further supports my work with betrayed partners experiencing trauma associated with problematic sexual behaviour and infidelity.
Inclusivity and diversity are core values in my practice. I am committed to honouring the intersectionality and individuality of each person, creating a therapeutic space where every client feels respected, understood, and supported in a safe and compassionate environment. I am fluent in both English and Portuguese.
