Wellcome to my Counselling!
I am a registered psychologist in Brazil, with specialization in Psycho-Oncology, Chemical Dependency, and a Master’s degree in Medical Psychology and Psychiatry from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). In Canada, I am a Certified Registered Clinical Counsellor by BC Association of Clinical Counsellor (BCACC).
I have 17 years of clinical practice working in Brazil and Canada with people of all ages and backgrounds, different culture, and treating diverse issues. I have been active in clinical practice and projects for vulnerable people through non-profit organizations and Health Authorities (Provincial Health Services Authority - PHSA and Vancouver Coastal Health - VCH) providing high quality specialized health care services.
As a result of this experience, I became even more sensitive and resilient to human diversity, which has helped clients overcome their greatest fears and anxieties.
My counselling style is directly client-centered for eliciting cognitive and behavioural changes. My approaches help clients to flow with the natural resistances that can arise during the therapeutic process.
My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. I am here to assist you to reach your full potential and to maximize your well being, customizing a treatment plan. Talking is often the first step to encourage getting help.
I am from Brazil and a Canadian Citizen. I also offer Counselling in Portuguese.
