Who I Help

My personal and professional experience has enabled me to specialize in serving adults with a wide variety of needs.

Adults Navigating Life's Challenges

Life is full of changes, and sometimes we need a little extra support to navigate them. I help adults facing:

• Anxiety and/or Panic Attacks

• Depression

• Pregnancy/Post-Partum

• Major life changes (marriage, divorce, career change)

• Relational struggles (romantic, peers, coworkers)

• ADHD

• Complicated family dynamics

Young Adults & College Students

Young adulthood can be an exciting but tumultuous time. I support students and young adults dealing with:

• Academic and/or social stressors

• ADHD

• Family conflicts

• Identity exploration and self-esteem issues

• Future planning anxieties

• Depression

• Traumatic experiences

• Peer and romantic relationships

Caregivers & Chronic Illness

Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been managing your condition for years, or are caring for a loved one, therapy can provide a safe space to process:

• Adjusting to diagnosis and treatment changes

• Caregiver stress and burnout

• Grief and loss related to health changes

• Family and relationship dynamics around illness

• Identity shifts and role adjustments

• Medical trauma and healthcare experiences

My Specialties & Proven Techniques

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): By exploring the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT helps you identify patterns that might be keeping you stuck. Together, we'll work to shift unhelpful thought patterns and develop new perspectives that better serve your wellbeing.

Solution Focused Therapy is a forward-looking approach that concentrates on where you want to go rather than solely focusing on where you've been. This approach asks powerful questions like: "What would your life look like if this problem were solved?" and "When have you handled something similar successfully before?" By examining times when the problem was less intense or absent altogether, we can uncover the strategies and strengths you already possess.

How it benefits you:

• Faster results: Many clients experience meaningful progress in fewer sessions because we're actively building solutions from day one

• Empowering perspective: You'll recognize that you already have strengths and resources—we're simply helping you use them more effectively

• Concrete action steps: Each session ends with clear, manageable goals you can implement immediately in your daily life

• Hope and momentum: Focusing on possibilities rather than problems creates a sense of optimism and forward movement

• Practical and collaborative: You're the expert on your own life; this approach honors your goals and what matters most to you

It's especially effective for issues like anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and feeling stuck—because it helps you envision and create the change you want to see.

How I can help you:

I create a warm, judgment-free space where your struggles are heard and validated, not dismissed or minimized. Together, we'll develop a therapeutic approach that adapts to your unique needs and experiences.

I combine deep empathy and understanding with proven therapeutic methods to help you find relief, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of hope and possibility in your life.

What to expect:

My clients often discover that our work together helps them reconnect with their inner resilience and wisdom they thought they'd lost. As you develop new ways to navigate difficult emotions and experiences, you'll begin to feel more centered, empowered, and at peace with yourself.

You deserve to feel like your best self—and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Whether you're battling racing thoughts, processing grief, wrestling with depression, or feeling overwhelmed by major life changes, I'll help you build upon your existing strengths so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

On a personal note:

I'm Portuguese and love spending time with my family and my fur baby. I enjoy going to the beach, listening to music, and traveling.
