Relational & Embodied Therapist
Reconnect with your authentic, unapologetic self.
Online Sessions for Individuals and CouplesMBACP (Accredited)English, Portuguese & Spanish
Some things take root in us before we know to question them. Therapy is the place we begin to look.I work with people who have felt the weight of systems: social, relational, cultural; that were not built around who they actually are. Together, we do the quiet, rigorous work of finding your own ground.Therapy, as I practice it, is relational and embodied - which means we attend not just to the story you bring, but to how that story lives in your body, your patterns, your present moment.

What Becomes Possible Through This Work
Learning to Trust Yourself Again
If you grew up with strict expectations, controlling beliefs, or environments where your voice was not fully your own, I support you in reconnecting with yourself, your values, and ability to make choices that feel true to you.Building Healthier Relationships
Together, we explore relationship patterns shaped by conflict, control, or emotional pressure, helping connection feel safer, steadier, and more authentic.Finding Home Within Yourself
Living between cultures, identities, or ways of being can feel unsettling at times. I support you in building a deeper sense of belonging, stability, and connection within yourself.
First Steps Toward Support
Taking the first step asks something of you and that's worth acknowledging. The process itself is simpler than it might feel from where you're standing. There's no right way to begin, and nothing you need to figure out first. I'll guide you through every stage, at your own pace.
Step 1 — Reach Out
Simply send a message or book a free 15-minute consultation. You don't need to know exactly what to say or even what you're looking for yet. Just showing up is enough. We'll take it from there together.
Step 2 — Your Welcome Session
This first full session is about you feeling safe and understood - not about having answers. We'll explore what's brought you here, what feels heavy, and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure, no judgement, and no rush.
Step 3 — Your Personal Path Forward
After your first session, we'll put together a gentle plan that fits your life, your pace, and your goals. This is where healing starts to feel real -because it's finally yours.
Eight years of sitting with complexity
I trained because I believed (and still do) that the way we relate to ourselves and others can change.My clinical work is shaped by over eight years of practice with individuals and couples navigating identity, belonging, and the pressure of rigid systems - whether those are families, institutions, or cultures. I am also someone who has lived between cultures. That experience is not incidental to my work. It lives inside how I listen.I work with the whole of you - not just the narrative you've learned to tell, but the patterns beneath it and what your body is quietly carrying; this is what Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, and Embodied Therapy make possible together.
Every part of you developed for a reason, and that's where we begin.
