“I know that life’s most difficult moments can shake your confidence and leave you feeling unsure of your next step. With the right support, those same moments can also become powerful opportunities for resilience, insight, and meaningful change".

This belief guides my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist. With 17 years of experience, I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds, offering sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I am committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel supported in gaining insight, building confidence, and developing a more authentic sense of self.

My therapeutic approach is comprehensive and integrative. I tailor treatment to each

person’s unique needs and goals, drawing from Attachment Theory, Family

Systems, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT),

Trauma-Informed Care, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Existential Therapy.

An important part of my work involves teaching and rehearsing coping strategies

that empower clients to navigate crisis situations, regulate emotions, and move

toward their true potential.

Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing communication issues,

anxiety, depression, fears and phobias, mood disorders, life transitions, multicultural

concerns, trauma, and PTSD. I also offer EMDR as part of a holistic trauma-focused

approach.

For our first session clients can expect a warm, collaborative environment where we will explore their unique needs and goals.
