Are you finally ready to see change within yourself or your child? I believe the biggest obstacle to change is setting too high standards, leading to disappointment and remaining in unhealthy patterns. In our sessions, I aim to point out these patterns, provide suggestions/techniques, and be a constant voice of support. Whether I am working with a child, teen, or adult I prioritize ways to make the sessions engaging and meet the client where they are on that specific day. Change rarely happens overnight but with me as your counselor, let's start celebrating our small wins. Tomorrow doesn't have to look the same.

*Accepting new clients* My clients are typically either individuals or couples. The individuals that I work well with are typically experiencing depression or anxiety, or having trouble adjusting to life changes. I love working with those that want a challenge or help achieving specific goals. I also work largely with couples at every stage of their relationship. Navigating a relationship without effective communication is usually what brings couples to me. I then help them develop stronger friendship and intimacy and manage conflict more effectively. Let's schedule an initial consultation to see if my style is a good fit for you!

Are you in the place in your life where you just feel done? You feel alone. Every relationship ends in disaster and heartbreak. Whether it is a romantic relationship or a friendship you just seem to pick the wrong people. You often feel disposable and rejected because all the people you want end up leaving you. You hear about people that have found their people and you wonder when will it be your day. When will you find the right relationships that bring you the quality relationships you dream of having. You feel too weak and paralyzed to try again only to find more heartbreak.

My ideal client would be someone struggling with life based on what they were taught or the environment in which they were raised. Sometimes what we feel worked for us in one environment or situation will not work in the same environment or a new one based on time or the growth of others. I believe we all owe it to ourselves to make self-reflection a consistent habit and aim to grow as much as we can. My clients often want to feel comfortable in their own skin, communicate well with others and live a life full of success and peace. I focus on personal acceptance, healthy relationships (Family/romantic) and peace for my clients.

I aim to live by the instruction to "love your neighbor as yourself". As a mental health professional, this is exemplified by the respect, dignity, and integrity I have for all of my clients. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is one of empowerment where people can make the changes they deem necessary in their lives. At the first meeting with my client, they are encouraged to share their story. I believe that everyone is an expert on their own life experiences. Clients are supported in making strength based treatment plan goals, encouraged towards client centered treatment and assisted in implementing the changes.

I trust that part of the reason that I remain committed to this work is because I practice what I preach. I constantly have to remind myself that I can do hard things and I wake up every day manifesting my purpose. The most rewarding part of my job is watching you grow into the person you've set out to be. I pride myself on true social work values; which include integrity, ethical practices, and quality services.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that our resources were overwhelmed. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we don't have the support to process it, we store it.

“Attachment is another word for disappointment and pain.” Are your relationships a source of elation and devastation but rarely anything in between? Perhaps ‘chaos’ and ‘emotional roller coaster’ define your family, friendships, or marriage? Trusting others is difficult. You feel manipulated or foolish, and your coping mechanisms aren’t working. You tolerate unhealthy behaviors because it hurts less than being abandoned. There is another way. I promise.

I work with many lawyers around the United States. Born in Brazil, I have lived in the United States for 30 years. Experiences of immigration, exile, and displacement bring on emotional and social challenges that can be overwhelming. My professional and personal knowledge of multinational identity makes me especially sensitive to issues of cultural selfhood and adjustment.
