Emotions are a river, and sometimes the current can feel overwhelming. You do not have to navigate your river alone. I create a safe and welcoming environment for people to relieve stress, tension and learn new tools to aid in emotional navigation. My approach is client-centered, focusing on the depth of your experiences, and finding new insight and resolutions to the difficulties in your life.
I have a personal and professional background in multicultural issues that make me adaptable, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I specialize in teen issues, grief, depression and anxiety. I am passionate about helping those in need and do not shy away from difficult topics or issues, and I come to each session with an open mind and heart.
I am a graduate of Cal Poly’s Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy program. I was born in Brazil, raised in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and lived in Japan before returning to the US to further my education. I is deeply passionate about serving my community and bringing life and new hope to the clients I serve.
