Introduction

Taking the first step toward seeking support can be one of the hardest — and most meaningful — parts of the journey. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life and have found that our greatest challenges often open the door to growth and change. My background is in mental health counseling, with experience supporting clients through substance use concerns, relationship and marital issues, adolescent behavioral challenges, and mood disorders. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and interactive, emphasizing practical solutions rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis. I work with clients within the context of their unique life experiences, believing that meaningful change emerges from understanding their world and strengths. This process often leads to more effective outcomes and supports clients in building a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Together, we’ll look at the goals and stress points you want to work on, shaping our sessions into something that feels collaborative, meaningful, and free of heavy clinical language. Portuguese: Dar o primeiro passo para buscar apoio pode ser uma das partes mais difíceis — e significativas — da jornada. Tive o privilégio de trabalhar com pessoas de todas as origens e descobri que nossos maiores desafios muitas vezes abrem as portas para o crescimento e a mudança. Minha formação é em aconselhamento em saúde mental, com experiência no apoio a clientes com problemas de uso de substâncias, dificuldades de relacionamento e conjugais, desafios comportamentais na adolescência e transtornos de humor. Minha abordagem terapêutica é colaborativa e interativa, enfatizando soluções práticas em vez de focar apenas em um diagnóstico. Trabalho com os clientes no contexto de suas experiências de vida únicas, acreditando que a mudança significativa surge da compreensão de seu mundo e de suas forças. Esse processo geralmente leva a resultados mais eficazes e ajuda os clientes a construir uma vida mais plena e com propósito. Juntos, analisaremos os objetivos e os pontos de estresse nos quais você deseja trabalhar, moldando nossas sessões de forma a torná-las colaborativas, significativas e livres de linguagem clínica complexa.
