Hi! I’m really glad you’re here.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re carrying more than you can explain, you’re not alone. A lot of the people I work with are used to holding it together on the outside while things feel heavy or confusing underneath.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma. You might notice your mind won’t slow down, you overthink everything, your mood feels unpredictable, or you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. Therapy with me is a space where we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and help you feel more grounded and in control.

As a psychoanalyst with twelve years of clinical experience, I can work with you to analyze your life experiences and the unconscious determinations that may be keeping you stuck in some ideas and negative affects. An important aspect of my practice is creating a safe space where you can express yourself freely and work through your thoughts and feelings, while I actively listen, ask questions, and dialogue with you until unheard possibilities arise. Psychoanalysis shows us that words carry the extraordinary power to change not only symptoms but also bodies and perspectives.

When your body has become a source of struggle instead of a home, or when a diagnosis, a traumatic loss, a medical crisis, or a caregiver role has quietly redefined your life, most people around you will say they understand. I won't claim that. What I will do is stay with you in the reality of it: the fear, the exhaustion, the grief, and the parts that don't fit neatly into anyone's plan. My clients are often adults navigating chronic illness, chronic pain, PTSD, medical trauma, and caregiving who are tired of managing other people's discomfort with their experience. Here, you don't have to.

Some of us hold onto "the hurt" for years and years until it becomes so faint, so normalized— we lose the ability to fully remember what life unburdened by "the hurt" can feel like. As a trauma therapist, my goal is to help you regain autonomy, awareness, and understanding over your life, your relationships, and your path forward. Each and every part of you has played a role in helping you survive "the world as it is." My goal is to help you discover the slice of "the world as it should be," mobilizing you towards finding healing community, chosen family, or space where you can flourish— where hypervigilance and fear melt away.

I have been working as a psychoanalyst for almost twenty years and understand how challenging it can be to seek help at times. However, as we all need assistance at various moments in our lives, embarking on psychotherapy is an important step. Working with psychoanalysis can help you better understand the past experiences that shaped your character, as well as your future, desires, goals you aspire to achieve and the fears and obstacles you encounter. I can listen to patients in English, Portuguese (my native language), and Spanish. I have experience with student's mental health, depression, anxiety, psychosis and another diagnosis.

We all have needs and desires that lay dormant because of relational issues, trauma, mood distortion or societal pressures. Our needs get pushed to the side due to personal obligations that can lead to a state of unfulfillment and at times anger. Is that you? Are you living in a state of resentment because of an unfulfilled purpose, a deferred dream or a lost opportunity? Taking the journey of introspection could lead to the acknowledgement of mental disorders or other underlying factors that may contribute to dissatisfaction. Come to a safe place where those issues can be resolved and ultimately lead to wholeness.

What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
