I have an authentic style that is direct but genuinely warm and compassionate. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) integrated with Person-Centered, strengths-based and culturally sensitive interventions tailored to your needs. I offer both brief evidence-based individual therapy or long-term therapy so you can gain clarity and insight into yourself, your relationships & learn to change your negative patterns. I can help you improve your mood by managing stress, challenging unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Client- therapist match is vital so let me introduce myself. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship stress, parenting, sexuality, chronic health problems, work-life balance, adjustment problems, cultural problems, & Brazilian US adaptation.
