Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working in community mental health, school-based settings, and private practice, supporting individuals and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment difficulties, and behavioral concerns.

I offer services in both English and Portuguese and provide therapy through telehealth across Florida, as well as in-person sessions.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play-based interventions for children, and mindfulness strategies to help clients better understand their emotions, build healthy coping skills, and develop resilience.

What you can expect from me

I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to work alongside you to navigate life’s challenges and support meaningful growth and healing.
