Credentials Verified by PM
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who is familiar with the emotional impact of significant life changes such as migration, career shifts, chronic pain and illness, and other losses. I’m a mixed-race Latina from Brazil, and I can relate to struggles that might come up from the experience of having a dual cultural identity as well as racial identity exploration. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of individuals who trusted me with their life stories and challenges. With them, I have had the chance to work through issues such as mood disorders (anxiety, depression, etc), chronic pain, relationship issues, the impact of racism, migration trauma (whether suffered directly or witnessed when growing up), body image difficulties, and much more. My experience as a therapist and as a client myself has validated my belief that we all possess transformational potential. And therapy can offer the safety and flexibility needed to bring our potential to the surface.
