Hello and welcome

As a therapist, I aim to support you as an individual or as a couple by taking a practical, open-minded and down-to-earth approach. My working style is interactive, engaging, and welcoming. I bring warmth and strength while also being appropriately challenging.

​​

When working with couples, I encourage each partner to shift away from blame and instead reflect on their own patterns, emotions, and contributions to the relationship.

​

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I invite you to explore my website and learn more about my approach. If you’d like, you can book a first session or an initial consultation to see how we might work together.

​​

If my available slots don’t suit your schedule, feel free to reach out - I’ll do my best to accommodate a time that works for both of us.

​

I am bilingual and offer sessions in English or Portuguese, providing both short- and long-term therapy.

​​

​​Types of therapy offered: Individual Counselling, Relationship Therapy (Couples Therapy) and Psychosexual Therapy (Sex Therapy).

​
 
I work with clients from anywhere in the world, except the USA and Canada.
