Hello! I have been a clinical social worker for over 15 years. For a number of those years, I worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical center where I specialized in a wide range of mental health issues, including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Grief and Loss, Sleep Problems, Relationship problems, and Work Stressors.
I believe that there is a common thread across all therapy approaches, which is why I draw from various methods during our sessions. I was born in Brazil and my education was shaped in the U.S. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland College Park, where I completed about 160 credits, and later graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore. I’m a licensed practitioner, authorized to provide psychotherapy in the state of Maryland. One concept that stayed with me from my studies is Dr. Daniel Siegel’s idea of the mind, body, and brain being interconnected. Over the past 10 years of practice, my approach has evolved, and I now specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS). This approach teaches that instead of having just one persona, we all have multiple parts of ourselves, none of which are “bad.” When we work together, you’ll quickly learn that every part of you deserves care and understanding.
Welcome—I'm glad you're here.
Acknowledging that you need help is a courageous first step, and finding the right space to share your struggles can feel overwhelming. I’m here to make that process a little easier.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My approach is rooted in warmth, compassion, and respect. I work with individuals who are navigating a wide range of challenges, whether they stem from the past or are part of everyday life.
My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, and addiction. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and begin to heal.
You don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I am objective as it applies to one’s life.
Further, I am non judgemental. I help one to find their way to healing and wholeness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kensington
Searching for therapists in Kensington starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. People often look for care for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Kensington is a smaller market, so nearby in-person options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Maryland while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what to expect and choose someone whose approach fits your preferences.
Therapy in Kensington can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
