About Me
Over eleven years of clinical practice, I have learned that healing isn't only about thinking deeply and exploring life's complexities, it's also about making room for play, humor, and moments of lightness. I believe peace and growth come from finding balance, sitting with discomfort while giving your nervous system permission to rest. This perspective was shaped in part by my years of working with children and families in their homes. Although I now work primarily with adults, I continue to believe that creating a sense of security where the inner child can be acknowledged and expressed is an essential part of the therapeutic process.
Outside of my work, family and community are at the center of my life. I also enjoy staying active, whether I'm playing volleyball, dancing, or going off the radar to hike in Rio de Janeiro. These experiences are a few of the ways I cultivate balance, connection, and joy in my life.

Whether you are navigating life transitions or seeking emotional stability, therapy can offer guidance, support, and a space for reflection. I am passionate about healing trauma, deepening self-awareness, and improving relationships. My approach is integrative and collaborative, personalizing our work together around your unique needs. My mission as a therapist is to bring clarity during times of confusion or unrest.
If I could leave you with one quote, it would be: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” - Aristotle
This quote is a reminder to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, to offer and receive compassion, and to recognize yourself as a whole person. Our experiences, both the ups and downs, are interconnected. While each part contributes to who we are today, who we continue to become is greater than any single chapter of our life.
