About My Clients
We’d be a good fit to work together if you want a deeper understanding of why you keep repeating the same problematic cycles; seek to learn how your past impacts your beliefs and feelings; are a successful, high-achieving individual who struggles with feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, and emptiness; live with high-functioning anxiety and looking to break people-pleasing behaviors; are a survivor of trauma. I work with teens, parents, couples, and adults.
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic modality, attachment theory, and brain-based therapies. Psychodynamic model explores and helps you understand how your unconscious thoughts, beliefs, and emotions create your reality; attachment theory addresses early relational patterns and helps you understand how your upbringing influences your identity, relationships, and behaviors; brain-based treatment uses eye movements to help the brain fully process trauma and restore healthy mental functioning (I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy). In our work together, we will: Deepen your self-awareness and self-reflection; develop healthy communication and coping skills; help you become more integrated, peaceful, and confident; implement culturally-appropriate boundaries and stand in your purpose; empower you to move through healing with safety and security.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am Brazilian-American, biracial, and utilize my own experiences to relate to and empathize with my clients. Being a therapist is one of my life’s purpose and it is truly such an honor to walk alongside others in their darkest, hardest moments. One of the things I love most about being a therapist is knowing that we will see better days, and then getting to witness my clients experience the relief, the love, and the peace they have always deserved. Whether you’re searching for a therapist who asks insightful, reflective questions; or a space to safely process your thoughts and feelings; or simply looking to sort through some baggage you’ve accumulated through life, I am here to help you make sense of your experiences. || This is a Safe Space for (and close to my heart): BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, first generation Americans, mixed-race/multi-race individuals, those questioning their beliefs, Highly Sensitive People, people with disabilities (visible and invisible), adoptees.
