In Person Therapists in Parkside, Portland, ME
In my practice I am hoping to work with primarily LGBTQIA+ and queer individuals seeking emotional and spiritual support navigating major life changes or events. My clients are generally seeking an active, empathetic listener to share and process their feelings with, but more specifically seeking a safe, non-judgmental place and space to process the spiritual and existential aspects of their experiences as well.

I offer presence and connection to support couples and individuals towards greater authenticity and fulfillment. I understand well the tremendous capacity for the psyche to accommodate unresolved trauma by intricate and patterned coping means. This tempers my approach towards one of gentle courage with clients. Together we learn to find a pacing that creates safety for making contact with what hurts. I am deeply interested in supporting the recognition of your intrinsic capacity to grow towards wholeness. This occurs through dialogue, active processing of emotions, and encountering your truth in the present.

As a psychotherapist, I believe in human interactions as a powerful healing tool. I have been working as a therapist for 30 + years, having started my practice in Brazil, my country of origin, and practicing in the US since 2020. My work is based in Psychodynamic, Jungian Analytical Psychology, and I also provide trauma-informed care using EMDR as a therapeutic tool. My approach is mostly eclectic, meeting the client where they are at, and using evidence-based resources tailored to the client's needs. I see the human life as a journey, full of wonders and hardships, and I feel honored helping someone throughout their unique journey.

Let's get to the heart of it. You want the pain to stop. You keep finding yourself in a place of despair, repeating the same patterns over and over again. You don't know how it happened and you don't realize you're doing it until it's too late...again. Together we can explore your patterns, struggles, and strengths in order to lead you to a new path of self-determined fulfillment. We will gently but assuredly do deep work together, not put a band-aid "coping skill" over your issues. Clearly you're not trying to be in pain! You're not consciously making this happen.

I provide couples therapy from a systemic and humanistic approach that seeks to understand clients in the context of their relationship. I focus on identifying personal and relational patterns that clients find themselves repeating or feeling caught in. In learning about where these patterns may have originated and how they impact their relationships, I work with clients to become aware of and to challenge their own cycles, to find ownership and empowerment in creating new solutions, and to discover and maintain long-lasting change.

Positive change is always possible and change itself is inevitable. Therapy can allow for the types of changes you want by freeing yourself from patterns that lead to stress, conflict or withdrawal from life. Are you dissatisfied with life and do not know why? Having the courage to admit that life is not going well is the first step to changing what you need. I have more than a quarter century of working with multiple challenges with individuals, couples and families. There are lots of avenues one can explore in therapy to enable any individual, couple or family to get what they need.
