Cambridge Couples Counseling

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 am a Resident Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of experience supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, manage stress, and cope with anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space where people can gain clarity, build resilience, and move confidently toward their goals. I approach therapy with compassion and cultural sensitivity, ensuring each client feels understood and equipped to overcome challenges.

I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. My therapeutic style blends evidence-based strategies with a collaborative, client-centered approach. I create an open, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore challenges, strengthen coping skills, and discover new perspectives.

I know that reaching out for support takes courage, and I want you to feel reassured that you don’t have to face life’s difficulties alone. Together, we can uncover your strengths and chart a path toward meaningful growth and lasting change. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I am a master’s level counselor with 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, substance use disorders, and personality-related challenges. I take a person-centered approach and strive to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

I earned my master’s degree in psychology counseling from Lesley University. I am trained in trauma-informed care, exposure-based techniques, and other evidence-supported approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I thoughtfully tailor treatment to each client’s needs, goals, and readiness for change.

You do not need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I am here to support you in building awareness, emotional stability, and healthy coping skills at a pace that feels right for you. When you are ready to begin, I am ready to walk alongside you.
