Who I am as a Therapist

Every individual deserves access to care that honors their unique experiences, identities, and ways of moving through the world. Seeking therapy can be an act of vulnerability and courage, and I appreciate the willingness it takes to share and explore your experiences in therapy. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel respected, supported, and empowered to explore their experiences authentically.

As a Brazilian and Latina, queer, neurodivergent, cisgender woman, my lived experiences have shaped my understanding of identity, belonging, marginalization, discrimination, resilience, and the complexity of holding both privileged and marginalized identities. These experiences inform my commitment to social justice, anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, and affirming practices in therapy. I am dedicated to creating a socioculturally attuned, collaborative, inclusive, and equitable therapeutic environment where clients can feel seen and supported. I provide therapy in both Portuguese and English.

In my work, I view clients as the experts in their own lives, while I bring curiosity, collaboration, and therapeutic support to the process of doing therapy. I maintain a position of “not-knowing,” approaching each client with genuine curiosity and openness rather than assumptions about their experiences or needs. I understand that trust, vulnerability, and connection can take time, and I strive to meet clients where they are while honoring their autonomy. Together, we can explore experiences, relationships, and possibilities for change in a space grounded in respect, collaboration, and care. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey!

Who I am when I'm not a Therapist

Outside of therapy, I value time with my cat, partner, family, and friends in Portland and Brazil, whether we’re together in person or connecting virtually. I also cherish quiet, solitary moments. I enjoy cooking and baking, thrifting, taking walks in nature, exploring the city and surrounding area, and discovering new places around the PNW. I love reading, watching films and series, and learning about all kinds of things. I’m naturally curious and passionate about knowledge, stories, and exploring new topics, so research and learning often find their way into my life outside of therapy, too.
