My Story

​

I am a bilingual therapist fluent in Portuguese and English, originally from Brazil and residing in San Diego. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care and non-judgmental therapy to individuals and families as they navigate the complex emotions triggered by the death of a loved one (including pets), the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, life changes such end of a relationship (including friendships), shifts in health (your own or a loved one's), and alterations in financial security. I understand that these moments can be incredibly challenging and elicit many emotions. In addition to grief and loss counseling, I am passionate about supporting multicultural relationships, addressing domestic violence issues, providing guidance on immigration matters, offering parent education, and assisting neurodivergent individuals and families dealing with ADHD and ODD. Furthermore, I am committed to supporting the LGBTQI+ community and strive to create an affirming space for all clients. 

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, creating a safe space to express your feelings and explore healthy coping strategies. I tailor the therapy to your needs, whether processing emotions or developing practical coping skills. We will embark on a healing journey to foster growth, resilience, and personal well-being.

I believe in ongoing education and staying up-to-date with the latest research and practices in the field. I strive to provide my clients with the highest care and support by continuously expanding my knowledge and skills. 

Here are some of the services I offer:

​

• Individual therapy: This type of therapy can help you process your feelings, develop coping mechanisms, and improve your overall well-being.

• Couples therapy: This type of therapy can help couples communicate better, resolve conflict, and rebuild their relationship.

• Family therapy: This can help families communicate better, cope with conflict, and support each other during difficult times.

I am committed to providing affordable and accessible therapy to all those in need. I offer a sliding scale fee based on your income. I also provide tele-therapy, allowing you to meet with me from the comfort of your home.
