Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when people feel heard without judgment and supported in making meaningful, lasting changes. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in helping clients develop healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and greater resilience in everyday life.

Hola. Bem-vinda! I am originally from Brazil and have been living in the United States for 40 years which means I understand, deeply, what it means to carry more than one world inside you. I hold a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from John Carroll University and have been in private practice since 2010. In that time, I have had the privilege of working with adults from their twenties through their nineties, walking alongside them through anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and grief and loss. I conduct sessions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, whichever language lets you speak most honestly.
