As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Portuguese, I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, and relationship challenges. As a first-generation American, I understand the complexities of growing up between cultures and the pressure of balancing different sets of expectations. I offer a culturally sensitive, supportive space where you can feel seen and understood.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, flexible, and centered on your unique story. I believe you are the expert of your own experience, and together we’ll work to build insight, develop practical coping skills, and explore the patterns that shape how you think, feel, and connect with others.

I take a whole-person approach to mental health—recognizing that emotional well-being is deeply connected to physical, relational, and spiritual health. My Christian faith informs my values and care, but I work with and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, belief systems, and walks of life.

Therapy with me is a space where you can show up as your full self. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating cultural identity, managing family dynamics, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to support you with empathy, curiosity, and care tailored to your needs.
