Welcome—It’s Wonderful to Have You Here

Thank you for visiting my counselling website. I’m so glad you’re here.

​

Navigating life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support is a courageous and meaningful step. As your counsellor, my goal is to create a space where you feel deeply heard, respected, and valued—a space grounded in trust, confidentiality, and kindness.

​

Growing up in an intercultural environment, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the richness and complexities of identity and belonging on a profound level. Living abroad has further taught me the joys of diversity and the challenges of being far from what feels familiar and secure. These experiences have shaped my understanding of human connection and the essential role of both internal and external support systems, especially during times of transition or uncertainty.

​

With over six years of experience in mental health, I am deeply committed to ongoing personal and professional growth. My work is guided by a genuine desire to stay informed about the latest advancements while approaching every session with authenticity and openness. I believe that meaningful change happens in a collaborative, compassionate environment where you feel free to explore, reflect, and grow.

​

Whatever brings you here today, I am here to support you on your path toward healing and self-discovery. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face and move toward a life of greater clarity, connection, and fulfillment.

Why work with me

Besides my commitment and perseverance, I know personally what it's like to be in a dark place and how opening up in therapy can really help. Through therapy I reconnected with myself and learned how to connect with others in a healthy way.

 

Based on my personal experience, I believe that the therapeutic relationship developed between the client and therapist has deep restorative effects. I trust that through counselling one can find support, a safe space to process feelings, an invitation to challenge thoughts and perspectives, increased self-awareness and ultimately emotional resilience. 

​

Some of the areas I have experience working with are: ​Anxiety; Depression; Attachment issues; Trauma; Relationship problems; Identity crisis; Difficult life events; Grief.

​

I offer counselling services in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
