My Approach to Helping
I am a licensed master social worker, emerging researcher, and doctoral candidate at Tulane University.
I identify as South Asian and Brazilian, multicultural, multilingual, and my pronouns are she-her
As an integrative psychotherapist, compassion is what motivates my clinical work. I combine a variety of psychodynamic and mind-body modalities in my psychotherapy sessions. I work with individuals experiencing early relational trauma, PTSD, attachment and relationship issues, anxiety, and difficulties adjusting to life stressors.
My psychotherapy core beliefs are twofold. First, compassion and respect are the basis of positive therapy experiences. Second, the personal connection and safeness established in the therapeutic relationship are catalysts for lasting change. I am well versed in compassion-focused therapy (CFT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and mentalization-based therapy (MBT).
In a partnership with patients, therapeutic care is informed by continuous learning and integrates the most recent research.
