If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling unseen and unheard in your relationships, therapy can provide a safe and supportive place to heal and grow. With more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care to help you explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

In our work together, you can expect a collaborative approach guided by your goals and needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care to help you develop skills, change unhelpful patterns, and discover new perspectives that support your well-being. My style is person-centered, strengths-based, and practical, helping you take meaningful steps forward.

My background includes work in private practice, schools, colleges, and community and faith-based organizations both in the United States and internationally. Fluent in English and Portuguese, I have supported clients across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the lasting effects of difficult or toxic relationships. I also work with individuals who are navigating spiritual struggles or recovering from harmful religious or organizational experiences while still valuing faith.

Clients often describe their experience with me as empathetic, insightful, and trustworthy. Therapy is a process that may feel challenging at times, but it is also a space for growth, discovery, and hope. Together, we can create a path forward that reflects your values and supports your well-being.
