Do you find yourself constantly worrying, even when things seem under control? Do your thoughts get stuck, looping in ways that feel hard to quiet down? This can show up as intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or persistent worry, and may begin to affect your daily life and relationships. My approach is shaped by extensive clinical experience working with anxiety and OCD, together with postdoctoral training focused on the human-animal bond and mental health.
In our work together, we focus on breaking cycles of worry, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance in a way that feels manageable. We also explore the emotional weight behind these experiences, especially when they relate to uncertainty, responsibility, or important relationships, including concerns about your pet’s health and safety.
If you’re looking for a supportive space to feel understood, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and build steadiness in daily life, I can support you in this process. We can work together to explore your emotions with compassion, strengthen coping skills, and move toward more clarity, calm, and confidence. Therapy available in English and Portuguese.
