You may be the person everyone relies on while quietly feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, or overwhelmed yourself. I work with adults and high-functioning professionals navigating stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and bicultural or immigration-related pressures. Together, we explore patterns contributing to emotional distress, improve boundaries and relationships, and help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported. Therapy is offered in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, in person and online.
I offer therapy in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, in person in New York and online. I help adults navigate anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and bicultural or immigration-related challenges, better understand emotional patterns, build healthier boundaries, and feel more grounded, supported, and connected.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been managing everything on your own. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re looking for a supportive space to better understand yourself, reduce emotional distress, and create lasting change, I invite you to reach out to see if we’re a good fit.
