Offers online therapy
I am offering teletherapy due to covid 19 spread. We will re-start face to face appointments once Covid 19 has subsided. Thank you.
About
I am in the business of helping people to develop the best version of themselves. Because of that I believe that while we are still alive, we have at least two solutions for every problem. I tailor my sessions according to my client’s needs. And I use strength-based approaches to try to bring the best out of you (it is your choice and I respect any safe decisions you make). I use Positive Psychology techniques, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy, Short Term therapy, Motivational Interviewing and other methods according to my client’s style and personality.
I also use Tapping and other alternative treatments depending on what you want and need. I compare my therapy style to “You are the driver in a car and I am your co-pilot with the GPS.” You tell me where you are going & I will be there to encourage & support you so you can make safe turns, returns, stop spinning your wheels, and move forward with your life.
I serve populations who have PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I work with Adults and Teens. And I come from a diverse background and welcome people from all colors, cultures, sexuality, religion, and genders in my practice. If you are reading this, you are already made your first step. I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish. Give me a call so we can connect.
