Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than15 years of experience in the field.

My primary passion lies in providing therapy to adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, family conflicts, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

I am fluent in Portuguese, and I accept all major commercial health insurances, making mental health support more accessible to those who seek it.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In my practice, I draw upon a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches empower my clients to develop healthy coping strategies and drive positive changes in their lives.

What you can expect from our first session

Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, I tailor my therapeutic approach to align with your specific goals. I am committed to honoring your cultural and social background, including factors such as ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.
