Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Redwood City, CA covered by Cigna

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I bring a rich multicultural background to my practice—born in Brazil and thriving in the United States since 2012, I am fluent in English and Portuguese (Brazilian), with proficiency in Spanish. Over the years, I have specialized in helping individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression through Spravato, an advanced FDA-approved ketamine therapy that offers new hope when traditional options haven't provided relief. Whether you are navigating sudden psychiatric symptoms, managing long-standing mental health conditions, or simply feeling out of sorts, I provide compassionate, specialized support tailored to your background and life stage.

I am licensed in California with a little over 9 years of professional work experience as a therapist and over 15 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, bipolar disorder, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes.

I am a therapist serving children, families and adults navigating anxiety, depressive symptoms, relationship issues and life adjustments. Sometimes you need a little help navigating life stressors, obstacles or discovering healthy forms of coping skills. I received my Bachelors at San Francisco State University in Psychology and completed my Masters at California State University East Bay in Counseling with a concentration in Marriage Family Therapy.

I’m passionate about helping people restore healing, hope, and mental well-being. I’m energetic, down-to-earth, and committed to guiding, supporting, and encouraging you through whatever life has thrown your way. Together, we’ll create a safe space to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

Introduction

I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.

My communication style

My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.

How I help clients reach goals

Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?

My journey to becoming a provider

Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or a major life transition? Navigating relationship struggles, self-doubt, or the unique pressures of being a first-generation immigrant or single parent can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected. You don’t have to carry this alone. Whether you are struggling with severe anxiety, low self-esteem, or grief, you deserve a safe space to heal and rebuild your confidence. I meet adults (18+) exactly where they are, helping you regain control, embrace body positivity, and discover the strength already within you to build a life you truly love.
