I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and grew up in Miami, Florida. Prior to pursuing psychology, I was 95% finished with my Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design before I realized I’d rather play the Sims than design real houses. I currently live in central Florida with my partner and three dogs (of course, pictures below).

My professional experience has focused on trauma, anxiety, and early childhood wounds – things that essentially the vast majority (if not all) have, but may be scared or apprehensive to discuss. I enjoy working with people who have either had a bad therapy experience, have never tried it before, or are apprehensive about it, with the goal of providing themselves a chance at peace.
