Trauma-Informed Counseling | Somatic Healing | Multicultural Care
Together, we can create meaningful change.
First session
Your first session is a time for us to connect and for me to understand you beyond your symptoms. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, your concerns, experiences, relationships, culture, and what you hope to change. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready for—we will move at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.
Strengths
I blend multicultural insight, multilingual connection, deep empathy, and intuitive listening with somatic and trauma-informed care. My integrative approach honors each client's unique story, helping them feel understood, reconnect with their strengths, regulate emotions, and build lasting resilience.
Ideal clients
I work especially well with young adults and adults from all backgrounds who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and heal from painful experiences. My specialty is developmental trauma, attachment injuries, and trauma-related concerns. I also support clients navigating cultural transitions, discrimination, relationship challenges, and major life changes. I have deep compassion for human pain and suffering. Regardless of your race, culture, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, or life story, you are welcome in my space and will be treated with respect, compassion, and acceptance.
Origin story
My passion for understanding emotions, relationships, and resilience led me to study clinical psychology in Brazil in 1993. Working across cultures has deepened my belief in our capacity to heal and grow. I remain inspired by helping people feel truly heard, rediscover their strengths, and create meaningful change.
Treatment methods
Somatic
My therapeutic approach is integrative, somatic, trauma-focused, and deeply client-centered. I believe healing is a personal journey, and no single treatment method fits everyone. I tailor therapy to each client's unique experiences, emotional needs, cultural background, and personal goals. I draw from Somatic Experiencing, EMDR-informed techniques, attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, psychodrama, expressive arts, and hypnosis-informed interventions. These approaches help clients explore the connection between mind and body, process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop greater self-awareness and resilience. My multicultural and multilingual perspective is central to my work. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, I recognize how culture, identity, family dynamics, and life experiences influence emotional well-being. I incorporate this understanding into treatment, particularly when supporting trauma survivors, individuals navigating life transitions, and bicultural couples. Above all, I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, reconnect with their inner strengths, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. My goal is to support meaningful, lasting change by addressing the whole person; mind, body, emotions, relationships, and cultural identity.
