About Me

As a Brazilian-Canadian professional, I have over fourteen years of experience working with children and families in non-profit organizations and private practice. I have completed my Master's Degree in Social Work in the Pontifical University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and complemented my studies in the University of California, Berkeley, and in the City University of Seattle, USA.

​

​Most of my clients work with me to better manage stress, anxiety, depression, marital challenges, family conflict, phobias, and the gifts and difficulties associated with ADHD and ASD. From children as young as five to adults in their 70s, I have the privilege and honour of working with people of various ages and cultural backgrounds.

​

My approach to therapy involves the use of various psychotherapies based on the client's needs. I draw mostly from the Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also provide Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Art Therapy for children. My work is trauma-informed, gender-sensitive, and informed by social justice theories and practices.
