About My Clients
I work with adults and couples who are thoughtful, high-functioning, and often carrying invisible stress. Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, founders, healthcare or tech workers, immigrants, and bicultural individuals navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, or major life transitions. My clients often seek deeper understanding—not just symptom relief—and want therapy that is emotionally attuned, culturally responsive, and practical.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California with doctoral, postdoctoral, and advanced clinical training in trauma-informed care, psychodynamic and Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I integrate depth psychology with evidence-based tools to help clients understand long-standing patterns while building emotional regulation, resilience, and healthier relationships. My approach is relational, culturally responsive, and collaborative. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make meaning, and reconnect with your inner resources—while also developing concrete strategies for navigating work stress, intimacy, identity, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working cross-culturally and offer therapy in English and Portuguese via telehealth throughout California.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens in relationships rooted in respect, curiosity, and emotional safety. My work is guided by values of cultural humility, social responsibility, and deep listening—especially to voices shaped by migration, displacement, and marginalization. I am committed to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and inclusive care, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel seen in their full cultural, emotional, and relational complexity. I value creativity, spirituality (in its many forms), and the human capacity for growth across the lifespan. Therapy, to me, is not about “fixing” people, but about restoring connection—to oneself, to others, and to a sense of meaning.
