I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker deeply committed to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. Guided by empathy and respect, I strive to help people reconnect with their inner strengths and find meaningful paths toward healing and growth.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered. I believe that every individual’s voice matters and deserves to be heard. By honoring each person’s unique experiences and cultural background, I tailor therapy to meet their specific needs and goals. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space where clients feel comfortable sharing their stories and working toward positive change.

I am passionate about remaining open to learn and grow alongside those I work with. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and traumas. I am fluent in Cape Verdean Creole and Portuguese and can hold conversations in Spanish, which allows me to serve a diverse range of individuals and families more effectively.

My faith in God informs my values, and I honor and respect religious and spiritual inclusiveness as part of the therapeutic process.
