Great to meet you!

As your trusted mental health provider, I am here to guide you through each step of your wellness journey. I understand that challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress can feel overwhelming, but together, we will find meaningful solutions to help you feel better and regain hope for the future. I am also committed to providing affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals, ensuring that everyone feels respected, safe, and heard. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, I offer culturally sensitive and personalized support tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re facing immediate concerns or working toward long-term growth, I’m here to help you build the tools and confidence needed for lasting change and a more fulfilling, balanced life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is compassionate, individualized, and holistic, focusing on more than just symptom management—I strive to understand the whole person, including their experiences, environment, and goals. I take the time to listen and collaborate with my patients to create personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments for long-term well-being. I prioritize cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, ensuring that every patient—regardless of background, language, or identity—feels heard and respected.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered with practical tools to navigate their mental health journey. My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where they can openly explore their thoughts and emotions while working toward meaningful change. Whether through medication management, therapy, or lifestyle adjustments, I tailor each session to meet their unique needs, helping them gain clarity, resilience, and a greater sense of control over their well-being. With a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach, I strive to ensure that every client walks away with a deeper understanding of themselves, a clear path forward, and the confidence to take the next steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
