Portuguese Therapists in Spencerport, NY

Congratulations! You have taken the first step into healing! Life is a constant learning experience to adapt to different cultures, situations, social groups and roles. Sometimes we may need somebody's insight, validation and support when walking in unknown territory. Whether the reason for seeking therapy is trauma, mental health issues or life changes, I believe we are all capable of resolving our own issues as long as there is awareness, understanding and willingness to face those challenges.

One thing that we all share as humanity is that we all experience emotional discomfort or pain, it is simply unavoidable. However, we can learn how to identify, tolerate, and manage uncomfortable emotions to help us better navigate challenging times. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression, relationship problems, adjusting to a new life transition, or are simply on a journey towards learning more about yourself, my main goals are to promote healing by showing up as my authentic self and to create a nonjudgemental space that promotes self-compassion.

Are you an adult navigating the challenges of school, career, and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about your future? I am a biracial and multicultural psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults, couples, and college and graduate students. I understand the unique challenges that you may be facing, and I am here to help you navigate this uncertain time. I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we will develop strategies to help you reclaim your life and flourish.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist whose approach to therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental, direct, and warm. I strive to create a space you can better understand yourself, your emotions, your interpersonal relationships and, consequently, live a more fulfilling life. I work with adults who are experiencing emotional distress (such as anxiety and depression), grief and loss, relationship issues, or going through life changes (e.g., dislocation, career decisions, starting college). I have interest and experience with identity-based work (e.g., sexual orientation) and parenting.
