About me
My approach draws from mindfulness, acceptance and cognitive-behavioral strategies, and increase self compassion to begin tending to your needs. Reconnecting with own values, and strengthening your resilience to move toward healing, growth, and a life that feels true to WHO you are and want TO BE.
I was born in Brazil and have lived in the United States for over 20 years, an experience that has given me a deep appreciation for how culture, family, and life transitions shape who we are. I understand how difficult it can feel to balance expectations, relationships, and your own needs. Sometimes we get lost in roles, responsibilities, or family patterns that no longer serve us and it can feel overwhelming, lonely, or confusing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is on creating a safe, compassionate space where you can pause, breathe, and explore your inner world.
