Welcome! Take a breath. Since you are reading this, you are most likely pursuing change in your life or relationships. Seeking counseling or asking for support takes courage, especially in a culture of independence and self-reliance. I know it is not easy, and I respect and value that you are taking this next step. I firmly believe that effective therapeutic relationships are powerful for achieving healing and lasting change. I have over 20 years of Clinical Psychology experience, and I am a licensed psychologist in Brazil. I completed the Master of Social Work program at the University of Iowa, emphasizing clinical therapy.

Sometimes life can be difficult, and we need a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space to work through our struggles. My purpose as a counselor is to support you along the path to making positive changes in your life. It is not uncommon to feel stuck at times. I offer encouragement, hope, understanding, and added tools to assist you in achieving your goals.

I recognize that it takes a great deal of vulnerability and courage to embark on the therapeutic journey. My approach is trauma-informed and incorporates art therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused and strengths-based models. I find that art therapy is a helpful and unique way for clients to approach difficulties and express themselves. I also believe that clients don’t exist in a vacuum. I explore aspects of the various systems within which clients exist. My goal as a therapist is to provide a creative and accepting space for clients to be truly seen and heard.

My technique is strength based, solution focused, and shaped from many years of practicing evidence based models. I look forward to helping you find hope that life can be better.

Hello! I am a passionate and dedicated Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Florescence Therapy & Wellness. My therapeutic approach integrates various holistic modalities, empowering clients to address the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs for healing. As a holistic mental health therapist, I believe in fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship that encourages open communication, emotional safety, trust, and mutual respect. Healing is a beautiful and difficult process, and I am privileged to walk along side you and support you as you navigate challenges and embrace growth.

I am passionate about helping clients recognize and heal from their trauma and stressors by strengthening their mind-body connection. I work with clients who want to learn to love and appreciate the body they are in and free themselves from the impacts of trauma. I believe in meeting clients where they are at, meaning we will only work on goals that the client feels ready for. Therapy is a partnership, where clients and clinicians should be putting in equal work. Whether it is dealing with a difficult relationship, new life transitions, or forms of trauma, I will encourage my client to play an active role in their own healing.

Welcome! I have over 25 years experience and specialize in Trauma, PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, illness, grief, fear, phobias, testing/performance anxiety, weight loss/binge eating, narcissistic trauma and self-esteem. Medical research estimates 90% of illness and disease are stress related. The mind and body are one and the symptoms we experience are interconnected. My passion is for you to heal and release the anxiety, trauma and pain you are experiencing and find optimal physical and mental health. I am honored to be part of your journey as you move toward your goal to let go of what holds you back from living your best life.

I look forward to working with you! You can be assured that my services are secure and confidential. My goal is to support you every step of the way as you heal, grow, and move forward in creating positive change that will allow you to enjoy life and experience freedom and joy. As a side note, society has become polarized in several arenas. I commit to you that I will not bring up politics or social issues; however, if you would like to discuss them, you are welcome to do so. I will never force my views on you or attempt to indoctrinate you with a certain viewpoint. Whatever your beliefs, I will be accepting and judgement-free.

I offer convenient evening and weekend appointments. We are all capable of making changes. Setting small goals can lead to larger life improvements. I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and have seen amazing growth and change over my 17+ years of practicing as a clinical social worker. If we do nothing to make change, life stays the same, with the same problems. It takes courage to look at ourselves and work on the things that drag us down. Together we'll build on your strengths to help meet your goals.

How we deal with stress can bring out what seems like the worst in us or help us to learn, grow and thrive. My goal as a therapist is to offer the space to explore your current struggles in a way that helps you learn from your past, in order to find emotional balance and self-acceptance.

You have your own unique fingerprint on the world. You matter. Your story matters. I believe when we enter into therapy, we come to accept ourselves as we are with a compassionate stance and change ourselves to develop more joy and fulfillment in our life. After our first session, I will develop a treatment plan as a guidepost specific to you. I’ve been a psychotherapist for 30 years and specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, mood disorders, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, relationships and transitions, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, grief and loss, and coping with a cancer diagnosis.

I believe that It takes great strength and courage to ask for help and I would be honored to help you (or your children) find more fulfillment and happiness in life. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I engage in individual, couples, and family therapy as well as psychological assessment. I believe the range of experiences enables me to more fully understand the individual needs of each client I work with.

Do you feel as if you or your loved one has lost their way, like connections that were once there have somehow been severed? Have you wondered how to regain or re-kindle those relationships with others? Sometimes on the journey through life, your ability to navigate can become overwhelming and confusing. It is during these times that having someone to help find new ways to mend relationships or make new connections can be useful.
