We create stories about ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes, we feel like we do not have control over these stories. It can be upsetting to feel trapped in a narrative that is passed or forced upon us.

In our time together, I will gently hold space for your stories and find ways to (re) create a narrative that serves you better. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I have many tools we can use. I can be your ally in this journey, supporting you in overcoming challenges, exploring your strengths, and respecting your autonomy. I am experienced working with 2SLGBTQ+ communities, newcomers, survivors of gender-based violence, and folks navigating the impacts of traumatic experiences.

I also have experience working with children. In this work, I will provide a gentle and playful environment where young people can express their feelings, and needs, and overcome challenges. In the family sessions, we will work on tools and skills to enhance family communication and understanding, empowering caregivers to support the child’s emotional and psychological development both within and outside the sessions.

I can offer counselling services in English and Portuguese. I was born and raised in Brazil and moved to the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations to continue my studies in the clinical counselling field at Adler University. I am registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
