Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in the mental health field. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to process, learn to unlearn that which is no longer helpful to you, and rebuild. My services can be provided in English, Portuguese, or Spanish and include stress management, coping with depression and/or anxiety, and learn to live with what cannot be changed. A meaningful life must be constructed, with care and diligence, kindness and courage.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I like to meet the client where they are and talk about what they would like to accomplish in psychotherapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with various age groups from the US and other cultures, I bring to my practice the empathy for all humans.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have been utilizing DBT interventions for the past 10 years. DBT is a form of therapeutic intervention that combines the cognitive behavioral method with mindfulness skills, and works well for individuals who were victims of trauma and/or who suffer from anxiety and/or depression

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My zoom room is a confidential and non-judgmental space in which reflective discussions about your "why" in life will be encouraged. We will merge mindfulness and behavioral therapy to assist you to achieve your goals and to live a fullfiled life.
