Dealing with changes or transitions in our lives can be a painful process. You may feel overwhelmed with emotions and uncertainties about your future. You may feel like the world you used to know changed completely and it has been difficult to reconnect to who you are. You may feel like you need to reconnect and reframe your experiences and need a safe space to take care of your emotional health. I know that can be challenging to face your vulnerability while everything is changing in a way you cannot control. Allow me to support you in this transformative process.
My expertise includes coping with cancer, chronic illness, grief/bereavement, caregiver support, anxiety/depression, life transitions, separation/divorce, immigration, relationship issues. I offer sessions in English and Portuguese. As a Latin American immigrant from Brazil, I am aware of our challenges when moving to a different country.
I provide compassionate and empathic care and a safe space for clients to express their emotions and experiences in their therapeutic journey with me. I draw from evidence-based modalities to explore meaningful strategies to support you according to your needs through a collaborative process. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
