Every piece of you belongs.
I’m a Brazilian-American who studied abroad in Europe during college in 2014 and immigrated to the United States in 2016. I can provide counseling in Portuguese and English. I live with my husband on a Virginia farmette, and we have dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. We love traveling, camping, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a counseling resident with significant achievements, including conference presentations, a Graduate Assistantship, and hands-on counseling experience under the supervision of Annie Ramsay, LPC, CASDCS at Contrast Counseling. You can learn more about Annie Ramsay at https://www.contrastcounseling.org/about. You can contact Annie at Annie.ContrastCounseling@gmail.com.
I am passionate about supporting clients facing identity crises, LGBTQIA mental health, addiction, disordered eating, religious trauma, sexual and affectional issues, life transitions, and additionally, providing neuroaffirming counseling for neurodivergent individuals. My approach focuses on understanding, validating, symptomology management, and empowerment for an authentic living experience.
Please feel free to reach out or schedule a free 15-minute introductory consultation call to find out if I am the right fit for you.
