LCSW, 5 years of experience
Psychotherapy is a way for you to work through challenging feelings, situations, and emotions. I offer a safe, and nonjudgmental space to work through the challenges and emotions you are facing. We will work together to help you identify your strengths to help you achieve your goals while also practicing self-discovery. Understanding yourself and utilizing coping skills are essential for growth and dealing with change. I have a diverse background, having been born in Brazil and having lived in Switzerland, Ecuador, and currently the United States. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Outside of work, I find joy in exploring various cultures through travel—I've had the opportunity to visit 30 countries so far. I also have a passion for trying new foods and soaking up the Florida sun on weekends My strengths as a therapist are in being empathetic, authentic, and sensitive to my client's needs. I strongly believe that everyone has internal resources that are available to help bring about a successful resolution to life's challenges. *Availability only after 17pm during the weekdays and Weekend Mornings.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a therapist, my greatest strength is my ability to genuinely connect with my clients on a deep, empathetic level. I prioritize creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and respected. Through active listening and compassion, I strive to validate my clients' experiences and emotions, fostering trust and rapport in our therapeutic relationship.
I'm well-equipped to serve clients who are seeking support and guidance in navigating life's challenges, managing stress, improving mental well-being, and enhancing personal growth. My expertise lies in providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals who are motivated to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking guidance on self-discovery and personal development, I'm here to offer empathetic listening, evidence-based strategies, and collaborative solutions tailored to your unique needs and goals.
We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Marcella is wonderful! She is so kind and patient in every session. She takes the time to listen to everything I have to say and gives great feedback as well as solutions and things to work on outside of therapy. She does a great job of making me feel heard, acknowledging my feelings and giving me different perspectives and ways to look at varying situations.

Very inviting personality. She immediately makes you feel comfortable sharing what’s on your mind. She will make conversation with you and extract answers just by asking the right questions. She has helped me learn more about myself as well. Amazing therapist.
