Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or having relationship issues? You don't have to feel that way. I'm a compassionate therapist who can help you have a joyful life. For 15 years, I've used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in English, Spanish and Portuguese to help adults, couples, and teens. I also utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I treat depression, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, phobias, OCD, ADHD, sexual problems, and victims of sexual and physical abuse.
Since I'm fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, I can provide therapy in any of these languages. As an immigrant from Brazil, I understand firsthand cross-cultural issues so I can help people who are having difficulties adapting to a new country.
I have an M.A. in Counseling Psychology (Santa Clara University), a Ph.D. (Research Institute of Rio de Janeiro), and a post-doctoral fellowship (Department of Social & Behavioral Science at University of California, San Francisco). I spent 15 years working in the Dept. of Psychiatry at Kaiser, but now focus on my private practice.
