Languages Spoken:

As a registered psychologist from Brazil with over 8 years of experience, I am dedicated to supporting individuals through various life challenges. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, general mental health, personal issues, trauma, and family violence. Additionally, I have a profound interest in assisting women and immigrants as they navigate their unique journeys.
Having moved to Australia as an immigrant myself, I understand the complexities and emotional struggles that can accompany such a significant transition. This personal experience fuels my passion for helping other immigrants find their footing and thrive in their new environment. My practice is deeply rooted in empathy and understanding, ensuring that my clients feel heard and supported.
I employ strength-based and trauma-informed approaches, focusing on empowering individuals to harness their inner strengths and resilience. By fostering a safe and compassionate therapeutic environment, I aim to help my clients heal from past traumas and build a brighter future. My approach is collaborative, working together with my clients to promote mental well-being and personal growth.
Whether you are dealing with mental health challenges, personal issues, or the stresses of immigration, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and empowerment.
