I offer services in English, Portuguese, and Spanish!

Greetings! My counseling journey began in Brazil in 2005 and expanded to the US in 2021. As a therapist with over 10 years of counseling experience, I aim to help clients feel immersed in a secure atmosphere. Offering services to adolescents, adults, and families, my therapeutic space offers security, trust, and a judgment-free haven.

I'm here to walk alongside you in your transformative journey, providing unwavering support during challenging times. My goal is to empathetically guide clients, in Solution-Focused manner, making sure they do not feel alone or judged. In addition to counseling, I'm an Early Childhood Development specialist and have a background in counseling high schoolers and families.

I specialize in Anxiety, Brief Therapy, Systematic Family Dynamics, and Motivational Interviewing. I also have extensive experience in counseling services pertaining to chronic pain and families navigating grief. My counseling approach is a combination of Solution-Focused, Person-Centered and holistic techniques.

Together as a team, we will work to find balance and happiness in your daily life. Let's embark on this therapeutic experience, your journey towards transformation begins now.

I received my M.Ed. in Counseling and Development, with a specialization in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Lamar University. I am an LPC Associate under the Supervision of Lorrianne Morrow, LPC-S.
