No matter the issue you are struggling with, be it anxiety, depression, or low self steem, I can help you with it. Whatever it is your are experiencing, reach out, things can get better. I have been working as body therapist now for over 20 years and the experience of working physically and energetically greatly complements what I have to offer as a counsellor. I go beyond of paying attention to your words, I listen to your body, your breath, how you speak and how you are in silence. In that way, I can recognise effectively the best way or tools to support your therapeutic process. I offer bilingual sessions in Brazilian Portuguese. I do work with all individuals including the LGBT + community.

I draw from a variety of methods, both somatic and psychologic, which enables me to give an individualistic approach to each client. My work has a holistic and transpersonal touch to therapy, which sees symptoms or issues as an opportunity for self knowledge and growth. I have trained as a psychosynthesis counsellor, which is an integrative type of psychotherapy. It brings together different elements of specific therapies such as Freudian, Transpersonal, Constellation therapy, Gestalt, Biodynamic and Attachment Therapies, to name a few.

I am particularly interested in Jungian psychotherapy with its many ways to induce awareness, by unravelling and unpacking unconscious material, which influences how you lead your life. The unconscious part of your psyche controls you, like a puppet master, which can be seen in your behaviour, attitudes, thinking process and how you relate to others in your life. My work is about bringing awareness to these unconscious forces that rules your life. Once the unravelling of the unconscious process is ignited, there is an opportunity for a more authentic part of yourself to emerge, or in other words you start to outgrow your experience or issue. Ultimately you are able to take a bird eye view on your situation, and therefore dis-identify from a way of being, which no longer fits. This type of work generates self-confidence, self-worth, self-esteem and self-positive regard, as you become the author of your life and finally able to edit the script you've be given.

I am warm, approachable but gentle, however I will challenge you in a compassionate way, if I feel it will contribute to your growth. I aim to help you get more clarity on the issue(s) you bring to therapy.
