About Me

When anxiety feels overwhelming or loneliness creates a disconnect, I offer a warm, confidential space. We can gently explore what keeps you feeling numb or stuck. Together, we will help you reconnect with yourself and others. Through this focused conversation, you can build practical ways to move forward. This approach suits those ready for meaningful change and a more connected, vibrant way of living.

Approach

If feeling overwhelmed or isolated has left you unsure how to move forward, I invite a steady, exploratory pace that balances reflection with real-life practice. In sessions in Rio de Janeiro or online, in English or Portuguese, we’ll listen closely to patterns in relationships, mood and memory, gently name what’s happening, and try small experiments to shift them between meetings. The work feels focused but warm, paced to your readiness, and often uncovers practical ways to reconnect with yourself and others. This approach suits people seeking tangible change and deeper connection.
