I offer a culturally sensitive and compassionate space for individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking to feel truly understood. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, identity, relationship challenges, family expectations, or the pressure of balancing different cultures and responsibilities. As a Brazilian Lebanese counsellor, I understand how exhausting it can feel to constantly explain your experiences, cultural norms, or emotions in spaces where they may not be fully understood. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and accepted as you are.

I work with youth and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, person centered, and trauma informed, integrating EMDR, CBT, and DBT to help you better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and feel more grounded in your daily life.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore what’s been weighing on you without judgment. Together, we work at a pace that feels right for you while building the tools, insight, and confidence needed to feel more grounded and connected to yourself.

Many clients I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions, including immigration and cultural adjustment. In our early sessions we work to understand what you are experiencing and create a plan that fits your needs. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, therapy focuses on processing difficult experiences, strengthening coping skills, and helping you regain a sense of stability.
