Each person's individual experiences are essential to the therapy journey. With that in mind, I encourage you to draw upon your own experiences and natural creativity as primary tools to discover quick, positive, and long-lasting solutions to your problems. I embrace cultural diversity and truly respect people's differences. Individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and cultural heritages will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere when meeting with me on BetterHelp. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am inclined toward holistic and integrative approaches to psychotherapy. The holistic perspective helps us become more aware in our day-to-day lives and more in tune with our emotions, thoughts, physical experiences, and spiritual senses. The integrative approach blends clinical interventions from various schools of psychotherapy, treating each individual as unique. This method yields the best results and opens the door to positive, effective changes. I have been trained to work with adults experiencing mood changes, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional emptiness. I provide therapy in both English and Portuguese.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
