I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in childhood psychology. My educational background has shaped my understanding of how early life experiences, attachment, and childhood development can influence our current thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and emotional responses.

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, including Behavioral Skills Training (BST), Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR), and case management with foster youth. These experiences provided me with a strong foundation in understanding trauma, family systems, emotional development, and the impact of life experiences on mental health. I have experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and chronic stress.

I believe healing begins when individuals feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized to each client's unique experiences and goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based interventions, Polyvagal Theory, and somatic approaches.

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and am passionate about helping clients build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, improve self-esteem, and develop practical coping skills. Whether you're processing trauma, navigating a major life transition, working through relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, my goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and equipped to move forward with confidence.

Hello, I am a psychotherapist, and I currently accept new individual clients. My area of expertise is holding space for clients in deeper levels of healing and achieving self-leadership and self-compassion. The ultimate goal for healing is to safely rebuild and rewire our neuro-network, attachment, and autonomic nervous system. I have been a Vegas local for 16 years, after living in China for 19 years. I am proficient in both languages, and my practice integrates both modern western science and ancient eastern wisdom, to hold space for you navigating the world, through different walks of life.

I was originally a high school English teacher and college professor. When I completely my first master's degree in English I started doing yoga which made me interested in healing. I then became a yoga teacher and decided to go back to school to become a mental health counselor. Now I continue to teach yoga and yoga teacher trainings while also being a mental health counselor. It is my passion to help people remember that healing mentally and physically is always possible inside and out.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Originally from Brazil, I worked as a social worker for 15 years before relocating to the United States to pursue my master’s degree.

For the past five years, I have worked in school settings supporting children and adolescents as a school-based mental health professional. During this time, I have completed extensive training in areas including family systems, trauma, autism, ADHD, grief, learning disabilities, and behavioral crisis interventions.

I am a passionate advocate for the well-being and safety of children and families, and I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive support.
