I believe therapy should meet you where you are — not where someone else thinks you should be. My approach is individualized and flexible. You set the goals based on your needs, and I use the therapeutic modalities best suited to help you reach them. There’s no “cookie-cutter” method here, because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, Florida, and Vermont. I hold master’s degrees in Social Work (University of Houston) and Divinity (Notre Dame Graduate School of Theology). My background — personally and professionally — gives me a broad and grounded perspective rooted in real-life experience.

I grew up between cultures—born in Texas, raised in Brazil and Chile—and speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. These experiences taught me early on how to connect with people from all walks of life, and that’s something I carry into every session. I meet people where they are, with empathy, respect, and a focus on what actually helps. If you're looking for a therapist who listens, understands complexity, and helps you make real progress—you’re in the right place.

On a personal note, one of the best things I’ve ever done was adopt my rescue dog, Colin DaDog. He came from a background of severe abuse, and it’s been a joy to give him the love, attention, and safety he needed. He’s taught me a lot about trust and healing — lessons I carry into my work with people too.
