Welcome! How good that you are seeking support. I feel privileged to work with individuals working to face challenges and live more meaningful lives.

I have training and experience in treating concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, legal problems, cross-cultural challenges, parenting concerns, substance abuse problems, and relationship problems. Christian counseling is available for those who would like it.

I welcome those from diverse cultural backgrounds, and am fluent in English and Portuguese, with basic to moderate Spanish.

I am a fully-licensed Master's Social Worker (LMSW), and also have a Master's degree in Social Science, with an emphasis on leadership studies. I am a certified advanced alcohol and other drug counselor (CAADC).
