Life can sometimes feel complicated and overwhelming, leaving us uncertain of which way to turn. I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is a vital part of the healing process. I aim to provide a warm, nurturing atmosphere where the person can feel safe and understood.
I help my clients explore and understand how past/current issues are impacting and "coming in the way" of being able to fully enjoy life and set future attainable goals. We will address how certain emotions affect our way of thinking, performing and our capacity to feel "free". Since the mind and body are deeply and strongly connected, I consider the relationship between presenting issues, family history, current relationships and ongoing sources of stress. I specialize in short and long-term psychotherapy with an emphasis on positive and tangible change. My experience includes the treatment of: Addiction, Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Behavioral Addictions (Smoking, Gambling, Compulsive shopping), Couples issues, and Self Injury.
I am trained in EMDR, an effective treatment for Trauma. I am currently getting my doctorate in sexology with a focus on compulsive sexual behavior. I provide services in English and Portuguese.
Seeking help takes courage, and I would be honored to join you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
