Every person can use guidance at some point in their life. Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness but of self-awareness. As a therapist, I treat each of my clients with the utmost level of respect and dignity. It is my goal to create an environment in which each client feels unconditionally heard. I uphold an ethical and confidential practice that revolves around improving the quality of the life of each client. I aim to help you grow in confidence, self-awareness, and balance and to help you in developing healthy coping skills, self-exploration, re-orienting the way you think, and setting healthy boundaries.

Are you feeling a lack of purpose in life? I help adults that are anxious, depressed because they feel stuck or lost. I believe that most people struggle with emotional challenges when they have not aligned with their purpose in life.

Together we will work on the lies, self-deceptions and the fears about the powers you perceive to be outside of yourself that dictate your life. With this approach we work on your inability to make decisions and to trust yourself to do, to make bold choices in life. Transformation is the objective.

I believe our relationships as human beings are the most precious and important part of our lived experience. We learn, evolve, thrive, and are hurt in the context of our intimate relationships. Helping you understand your relational patterns - their functions and dysfunctions - is where there is optimal potential for growth and mental well-being. While I have a unique focus on concerns with sexuality and sexual intimacy, I have expertise in helping resolve challenges in multiple areas of one's interpersonal life. These include significant familial, social, and professional relationships. Improve your relationships, improve your life!

There are times when we know that we need to make a change in our life. You might be noticing a quiet unrest, a consistent dissatisfaction, or the call to change may come through a life transition---a death, a loss, job or relationship stress, illness suddenly needing to care for elders or children moving home. The circumstances can vary, but the knowledge that change is needed is clear. My goal is to help you discover your true potential while we sort out what needs to be different, and lead you into a life that is worth celebrating.

I provide telehealth (video) counseling in English and Portuguese to adults suffering with: depression, anxiety, panic, social phobia, obsessions and compulsions, and struggles with relationships, perfectionism and career. Please understand that the success of the therapy is highly correlated to your ability to engage in the process. While having a rapport will provide a safe environment for you to express your challenges, in most cases, this is not enough. It requires your active participation in understanding how the mind works, where emotions come from and your behavioral choices.

Life is a beautiful gift and can be magnificent, however, it can also be challenging and difficult to navigate. For some, it brings stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma, etc. Trying to balance unhealthy thoughts, feelings, or behaviors with family, work, and school can quickly feel overwhelming. Therapy provides a safe and nurturing environment where a client can increase self-awareness and receive validation. I work with individuals, couples, and families processing difficulties, learning effective coping skills, and helping them grow and heal to improve their emotional health and well-being.

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. Also to guide individuals to change patterns and routines, discover positive and productive communication techniques, and strengthen relationships.

My ultimate goal in counseling is to give my clients hope and the tools to work towards healing what has been negatively affecting their lives.
