LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR

“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” - Brene Brown



  • I primarily concentrate on adults, family units, and couples who are navigating challenges. I focus on guiding individuals and families toward healthier dynamics and stronger connections.  My goal is to guide you to empowerment through self-awareness and personal growth. 

    With couples, I facilitate communication to resolve conflicts, strengthen emotional bonds, rebuild trust, and mutually discover the best way forward.

  • I help clients with: Relationship Concerns, Communication Issues, Parenting Challenges, Extended Family Conflict, Changes and Stress in Relationships, Relational Trauma and Sexual Abuse, Divorce and Marital Strife, Infidelity, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, and Grief.

    I was trained in evidence-based techniques (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Therapy, The Gottman Method, and Emotion-Focused Therapy). However, I treat each client as unique and employ a curated mix of traditional and innovative techniques to generate ideal outcomes. Together, we will develop an individualized plan with the tools you need to achieve your therapeutic goals.

  • I graduated from the University of Houston Clear Lake with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.  Subsequently, I worked with youth, individuals, couples, and families to address various struggles and roadblocks, such as anxiety, depression, parenting, divorce, relationship, sexual abuse, and others. I am licensed in both Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy.

    Born in Brazil, I have dual nationality and am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I have lived on three continents and have studied the philosophy of psychology in four cultures and countries (Brazil, Dubai, Mexico, and the United States).  

    I am passionate about continuing to learn, I use a non-pathologizing approach, and focus on relational dynamics.

    I am looking forward to meeting you.
