I am passionate about supporting children, adults and families to improve their communication, emotional connections and self-esteem. My approach is warm, interactive and strength-based. I have experience working with children and adults going through divorce, traumatic experiences, conflicts, challenges with self-regulation, as well as parenting difficulties and behavioral problems. I support my clients through life transitions, the process of acculturation and belonging, anxiety, depression or seeking any type of emotional healing from current or past experiences.
As a family therapist, I offer opportunities to you & your family to mobilize your family's internal strengths & resources to address any concerns you might have. In individual sessions, I utilize Expressive Arts, Drama, & Somatic Therapies offering creative tools that enhance the mind-body connection & promote emotional awareness, expression & integration.
I am also trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidence-based treatment that helps children ages 0-5 and their caregivers heal from stressful and traumatic events. My experience as Brazilian immigrant living in a multicultural family informs my understanding on how immigration and culture shape our identities.
