About Me

My dedication extends to supporting parents and caregivers of young children, starting from prenatal care through the delicate balance of work and childcare responsibilities. With significant experience guiding individuals through life transitions, including adjusting to parenthood, coping with grief, and overcoming identity struggles, I am committed to addressing various parenting challenges, as well as issues like separation, divorce, and postpartum depression/anxiety. Additionally, my cultural background as a Portuguese woman, raised by immigrant parents, lends a unique perspective to my approach. Together, we can explore strategies to cultivate self-compassion and implement effective self-care practices, enabling you to be more emotionally and physically available for yourself and your loved ones.

In addition to my expertise in parenting, I specialize in providing tailored assistance to individuals facing workplace stress, overcoming impostor syndrome, and addressing perfectionism challenges. My ultimate aim is to support individuals in navigating life’s complexities with confidence and resilience.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, recognizing the diversity of journeys. I steer clear of a one-size-fits-all approach, instead fostering a safe and supportive environment for open exploration of concerns. Together, we’ll collaborate to develop practical strategies that suit your everyday life. My toolkit includes, but is not limited to , Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, among other approaches.
