Te sientes atorado/a en una vida que no cambia y que no te trae satisfaccion? Todos los demas se ven contentos y satisfechos pero por dentro tu sufres solo/a? Nadie sabe la realidad de como te sientes? Nadie te entiende bien? La gente te ve, y cree que estas bien pero por dentro tu sufres en silencio. Todo el tiempo tratas de cambiar pero de un dia para el otro todo sigue igual. Tratas de tomar, fumar, comer, o ponerte ocupado/a, para sentirte mejor, pero al final, nada cambia? Ya no hayas ni que hacer. Ayudas a todos pero a ti te dejas en ultimo lugar. Ya ni tienes ganas ni energia de luchar por tu vida? No eres el unico.

As a multicultural therapist originally from Brazil, I offer sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and provide culturally responsive, inclusive care.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying something that feels too heavy to bear? Maybe anxiety, past experiences, or relationship patterns keep showing up in ways that create distress. You might feel disconnected from yourself, caught in cycles of fear, shame, or self-doubt—and ready for transformation. I work with adults experienci trauma, anxiety, and life transitions who are ready for deeper, lasting change. Together, we create a safe, grounded space to process your experiences, understand your patterns, and reconnect with yourself. I also support clients navigating the emotional impact of stigma, shame and isolation.

I offer therapy in English, Spanish and Italian.
Healing and change are possible, even when it feels like nothing works. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are becoming. Some are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or past relational pain—including dysfunctional relationship patterns—while others are moving through life and women’s transitions, parenting, and shifting roles that can bring exhaustion, guilt, or a sense of losing oneself. You want to feel understood, regain clarity, and reconnect with what truly matters—without trying to “fix” yourself.

People want straight talk from a psychologist, not psychobabble. They don’t want a passive therapist who just listens. Nor do they want a know-it-all to tell them exactly what to do. They want a competent psychologist who gives real feedback about what he sees going on. They want someone with real life experience who can relate to their problems as a professional, a parent or a student. Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Evans had experience serving in the Peace Corps, running a business, getting married and having children.
