A terapia é um lugar de acolhimento para expor seus pensamentos, e muito mais. É um lugar de conexão e suporte para explorar, se entender melhor, repensar e encontrar novos sentidos para as coisas, elaborar sobre mudanças de vida, dificuldades e adversidades. Ofereço atendimento baseado nas suas necessidades específicas, levando em consideração os diferentes fatores que influenciam nossas vidas e decisões, com atenção aos contextos sociais e culturais, às suas experiências e propósitos de vida. Eu trabalho de forma reflexiva, sincera, afirmativa e dinâmica/relacional.

There are times when life feels harder than it should. On the surface you keep going, but inside you may feel exhausted, anxious, sad, numb, or alone. Or maybe you’re visibly coming undone, overwhelmed by the weight of it all. Painful experiences or past trauma can echo into the present, making it hard to feel safe or whole. You’re seeking support that’s both compassionate and practical—therapy that helps you heal, grow, and find the peace, connection, and strength you long for. Together, we’ll build the insight and tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and freedom.

Origem, or “origin” in Portuguese, grew from a belief that healing happens as we reconnect with our core self, processing the many origins of stories we tell ourselves about who we are, and weaving new beliefs that incorporate mind, body, and soul with radical compassion.
My therapeutic lens is rooted in humanistic foundations, with person-centered, narrative, and existential therapy as core pillars. I specialize in psychedelic-assisted therapy (FDA-approved ketamine) - a powerful resource to connect with one's inner wisdom. Other fields of interest include TF-CBT, ERP, mindfulness-based therapy, and IFS.

I offer therapy in English and Portuguese, and I approach this work with deep respect for your lived experience and your innate capacity to heal.
My passion lies in helping individuals reconnect with their sense of peace, purpose, and wholeness after experiencing trauma or significant life challenges. I specialize in trauma-focused, somatic therapy—a holistic approach that honors the deep connection between mind, body, and soul. Brainspotting is one of the primary approaches I use, allowing the body to guide the healing process in a gentle, organic way. This method helps you access and release what talking alone can’t reach, supporting deep emotional and nervous-system regulation.
