I am a multicultural, binational (Brazilian American) psychologist licensed in New York and Texas, committed to providing quality, individual psychotherapy within a mutually respectful relationship. I work with adults and young adults from all lifestyles who are experiencing long-term issues with depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or emotional disconnection. My usual client has been using some coping skills and is now motivated to, gradually, process difficult thoughts, memories and emotions. Over time, this work allow us to connect with a renewed sense of Self — one that feels more unique, authentic, naturally energetic and driven.
I facilitate the process of deep self-reflection by providing highly personalized care integrated with analytical and somatic experiencing techniques. My practice derives from my longstanding enthusiasm for psychology and the psyque, my postgraduate works on the Self and social brain dynamics, and from continuous formal clinical and theoretical trainings.
I am honored to offer a science based, safe space where a renewed sense of self can emerge, one that is consciously nurtured, safer, and more intrinsically satisfying. Please reach out if you would like to know more. I offer a free 15 min introductory phone call.
