Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. My practice in mental health involves work in a broad range of programs such as my private practice, corrections, schools, hospitals, and mental health centers. I know that no single approach to therapy works for every person, therefore I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, such as: CBT, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness. I will offer my experience and expertise to help you to strengthen coping skills, to discover creative ways to resolve conflicts, to empower you to make changes and to support you through a personal crisis.
I have worked with adjustment issues due to major life/career change, crisis, loss, trauma, substance and alcohol addiction, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and behavioral/cognitive problems related to brain dysfunctions. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental and safe online therapy space to promote growth and healing. This means I do not guide or direct you towards specific religion, believe system and/ or political orientation but towards your personal counseling goals. If you are uncertain as to what to say, have questions, not sure if this is the right approach for you now, I will help you to make the decision about counseling. I am continuously seeking professional growth in my career. I recently obtained the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional level I, C-DBT and completed courses on Telemental Health and Mindfulness.

Doctor in Biology - Universidade de Brasília, DF, Brazil
Master of Science Major: Psychology - Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, Illinois
Psychologist - Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil
