Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who believes everyone should have access to supportive, accessible, and client-centered mental health services. I practice with radical genuineness and believe part of the healing process is the honest and respectful relationships that can be created in therapy. My goal is to create a safe and positive environment, conducive to making the changes needed for self-improvement. I am bilingual in Brazilian Portuguese and English.

My approach to therapy

I am interested and experienced in working with Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, Substance Use Disorders, and Peripartum Disorders.

What you can expect from me

Intake is about getting to know the patient, gathering information that will help guide the time together in treatment. Expect a safe space to discuss your goals and wishes for coming to therapy.
