About
As a bilingual psychologist and psychotherapist, Harvard researcher, and Catholic Deacon with over 30 years of experience, I bring both rigorous clinical science and deep human compassion to helping adults heal from trauma, addiction, and moral injury — honoring the full dignity of every person I serve
I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience specializing in trauma, addiction, and moral injury. Connected to Harvard University as a researcher on moral injury, forgiveness and healing, I bring both scientific rigor and deep human compassion to my work. I serve adults navigating addiction recovery, complex trauma, and existential struggles — particularly those seeking care that honors their cultural identity and values. I am bilingual in English and Portuguese and have a special commitment to the Brazilian-American community.
My work integrates evidence-based approaches — including CBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapies — with cultural sensitivity and a deep respect for each person’s story. Whether navigating addiction, trauma, or life transitions, clients find a structured yet compassionate space to heal and grow.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Whether you’re just beginning to seek help or returning after setbacks, I’m here to walk alongside you with honesty, compassion, and hope. Taking that first step toward healing is an act of courage — and you deserve support that truly meets you where you are.

I desire to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no story sanitation and no respectability performances—because real transformation begins with real acceptance.
I am a master’s level clinician with 19 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families through life transitions, stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and identity exploration. I create a warm and steady space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward healing and lasting emotional growth.
I earned my master’s degree in community counseling from Regent University and have developed a clinical approach that blends cognitive behavioral, strength-based, mindfulness-based, and person-centered care. My work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs, pacing, and goals.
If you are ready to explore real healing and not just cope through the moment, I will walk with you at a pace that feels safe and empowering. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. Reaching out is already a powerful step. Together, we can build the tools and insight you need to move forward with confidence.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
