About Me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or a major life transition? Perhaps you are experiencing burnout, ongoing stress, difficulties in communication, or struggling with your self-esteem. Therapy can offer a supportive space to understand what you are experiencing, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change.
I am a Brazilian psychotherapist and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, with over 9 years of experience and more than 2,000 therapy sessions with kids, teens, adults, and families. My experience includes supporting clients experiencing burnout and workplace stress, relationship and communication difficulties, self-esteem challenges, anxiety and stress, life transitions, and emotional difficulties.
As a Brazilian therapist living and practicing in Canada, I understand how culture, language, family values, relationships, immigration experiences, and adapting to a new environment can shape our emotional well-being. I offer psychotherapy in both English and Portuguese and provide a culturally sensitive space where you can feel understood and respected.
My therapeutic approach integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy (EPP), and Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy. I also draw from evidence-informed strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychology when appropriate to your individual needs.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, improve communication and relationships, strengthen self-esteem, manage stress, and navigate life transitions with greater clarity and confidence.
I provide virtual psychotherapy in Ontario and, where permitted by applicable provincial and professional requirements, to clients in other Canadian provinces and territories. I welcome Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking clients, as well as individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. A sliding-scale option is also available.
Do you wish to improve your mental health? Therapy has a lot of benefits. With 8 years of education in Psychotherapy Science and over 9 years of experience, I have provided therapy to teens, adults, and seniors across more than 2000 sessions. My ability to facilitate a range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions and strategies ensures culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care throughout your journey. I excel in managing crisis situations with efficiency, providing immediate support, and developing safe plans to ensure client well-being. I am available to address your questions and start this process with you.
My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy (EPP), where I prioritize empathy and active listening to facilitate clients resignify their challenges.
I also use Short-term Psychodynamic techniques focusing on assessments of client demands and formulating effective treatment plans. Let’s build together a unique process to improve your quality of life.
I offer services in English and Portuguese, with a sliding scale option available.
