I believe each person’s individual experiences are vital to the therapy journey. With that in mind, I invite you to utilize your own experiences and natural creativity as the primary tools to find positive and quick, but long-lasting solutions to problems. I embrace cultural diversity and truly respect people’s differences. People of all genders, sexualities, religion affiliations, and cultural backgrounds will find a friendly and warm atmosphere when meeting with me at Better Help. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am partial to the holistic and integrative approaches to psychotherapy. The holistic view helps us become more awake in our day to day life, and in-tune with our emotions, thoughts, physical experiences, and spiritual senses. The integrative view of psychotherapy blends clinical interventions of various psychotherapy schools, and looks at each individual as unique. It yields the best results, and opens doors to positive and effective changes. I have been trained to work with adults and children struggling with mood changes, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional emptiness. I provide therapy in English and Portuguese. Now, what brings you to therapy at this time?
