I am an LCSW in California. I grew up in Brazil and moved to California to pursue my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I truly believe that due to life challenges, stressful jobs, careers, and busy lifestyles, it's very easy to dismiss our inner voice. That is the voice that wants to be heard, tell us about our emotions and hurdles. Allowing your inner voice to be heard will empower you to embrace the beautiful journey of self-discovery. I am here to assist you in creating goals, adjusting to a new life or career, and managing depression and anxiety in challenging times.
I believe that therapy is a deeply personal and collaborative process, and my approach is rooted in a commitment to understanding each client as a unique individual. I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where one can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at your own pace.
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental space where we begin to get to know each other. I’ll start by asking about your reasons for seeking therapy and any specific concerns or challenges you're currently facing. This is a chance for you to share what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together.
