Therapy Approach

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” 

— Carl Rogers

I offer an approach that integrates various evidence-based psychotherapy methods, including: 

  • Mindfulness and Compassion-Based Interventions

  • Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy 

  • Internal Family Systems

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

My work is guided by a strong collaboration and shaped by what is most helpful in each moment of the therapeutic process, for each client.

Whether I am supporting individuals, couples, families or teens, my intention is to create a grounded space where insight can emerge, and deeper integration can unfold — making room for both self-acceptance and meaningful change.

Areas of focus include:

  • • Anxiety and Depression

    • Stress Management

    • Life Transitions

    • Relationship and Familial issues

    • Anger Management

    • Loss and Grief Counseling

    • Separation and Divorce

    • Parenting Skills

    • Conflict and Communication issues

  • • Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

    • Substance Use and Addiction

I work in person and online. I am also fluent in Portuguese and accept clients who would prefer sessions in their native Language.

Insurance 

I am in-network with Medicare, Anthem, and Aetna.

If you plan to use insurance, I recommend contacting your provider to understand your specific benefits, including copays, deductibles, and coverage for outpatient mental health services.

Out-of-Network Options

If I am not in-network with your plan, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.

Payment 

For private-pay sessions, payment is due at the time of service. I accept cash, Zelle, or check.

Cancellation Policy 

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or missed appointments may be charged the full session fee.
