Hi! I'm a Brazilian psychotherapist and I earned my Bachelor degree in Psychology in Brazil in 2004. I soon after moved to the US and earned my Masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling from the Argosy University in 2013. I have been in practice for 13 years working with individuals seeking support to deal with interpersonal conflicts, manage ADHD, anxiety, substance abuse and process trauma.
My approach to counseling is based on unconditional positive regard for the person(s) in my care. I use evidenced-based CBT, EMDR and Motivational interviewing to address the client's individual needs, uncovering motivation for change, personal strength and coping abilities. I support clients in exploring and questioning unhealthy feelings and beliefs in a way to uncover their own solutions.
I offer a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space for you to be yourself and heal. I believe that the healing process begins with a professional relationship between client and counselor. My goal is to build a relationship based on respect, acceptance, and trust.
