You may be the person who holds everything together for everyone else. You think deeply about your relationships and often put other people’s needs before your own. Over time, you may find yourself feeling emotionally drained, wondering why the same relationship patterns keep repeating, or feeling that, despite all you do, you’re still not enough.

Therapy doesn’t begin with having the right words. Many people come simply knowing that something isn’t working anymore. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing at your own pace.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic overthinking, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, grief, loneliness, life transitions, and identity questions, including those related to immigration and living between cultures.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. Rather than focusing only on reducing symptoms, we’ll explore how your experiences and relationships may be shaping the way you relate to yourself and others today. As these patterns become clearer, many people find themselves responding differently, with more self-understanding, greater confidence, and healthier relationships.

Having built a life in a new country myself, I understand that some experiences can feel difficult to explain to people who haven’t lived them. Whether you’re navigating immigration or facing challenges unrelated to it, my goal is to offer a space where you don’t have to hide parts of your story or feel that you need to translate your experiences.

I am a psychotherapist in training in Canada, working under the supervision of an experienced Registered Psychotherapist, and bring over 10 years of experience as a psychologist in Brazil. I offer virtual therapy in English and Portuguese.

I offer sliding-scale fees, a limited number of low-cost spaces, and a free 30-minute consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit to work together.
