WHAT’S THE THEME OF YOUR LIFE STORY?
ALL STORIES HAVE A THEME, AND YOUR BIOGRAPHY IS NO EXCEPTION.
“If you can dream it, you can do it.” — Walt Disney.
“Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” —George Herbert
“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” – Abraham Maslow

About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with extensive experience supporting individuals on their mental health journeys. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Brazil and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University. In addition to English, I speak Portuguese and Spanish fluently.
In my approach, I encourage clients to view themselves with compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance—recognizing both their strengths and limitations while developing new, empowering beliefs about themselves, others, and the world around them. I believe that a strong, trusting relationship between therapist and client is the foundation for meaningful growth and transformation.
To me, finding balance in life begins with nurturing self-esteem and practicing consistent self-care. Clients often describe our sessions as comfortable and natural, like having a meaningful conversation with someone who truly listens and understands. That’s exactly how I believe therapy should feel—warm, supportive, and effective.
Clients frequently share that they feel more understood and hopeful as they begin the therapeutic process. I’d be honored to hear your story. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, never judged, and always in control of your pace. Building trust and working together with care and intention is at the heart of what I do.
