About My Clients

Most people arrive knowing something has to change but not knowing where to begin. You may feel anxious, exhausted, unable to quiet your mind, or unlike yourself. I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, and the effects of controlling or abusive relationships. We begin with what your life looks like now, understand what is making everyday life harder, and find realistic changes you can use outside of sessions.

My Background and Approach

I earned my MEd in Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College and began working in counseling in 2016. I am also a licensed occupational therapist, which gives me an additional understanding of how emotional challenges can affect routines, relationships, responsibilities, and daily life. I do not follow one script. Some sessions focus on understanding what is happening and why it keeps happening. Others are more practical, working out what could actually be different this week. We check whether counseling is helping and adjust when needed. You should leave most sessions with something to think about and something to try. I provide online counseling in English and Portuguese. I am licensed in Massachusetts, Texas, Florida, and Washington. Insurance participation varies by state and plan.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe counseling should be respectful, practical, and shaped around the person in front of me. I welcome and respect clients of all faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds.
