I am a Brazilian-trained psychologist and a Level 4 Counsellor with the ACA (Australian Counselling Association). My goal is to offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to help adolescents and adults navigate their emotional challenges.
My therapeutic practice is grounded in Psychoanalysis, integrating deep emotional support with effective regulation and self-awareness techniques. I utilise mind-body tools to promote holistic well-being:
. Psychoanalysis: Exploring unconscious processes to understand the root of conflicts and foster deep transformation.
. HeartMath (Breathwork): A powerful resource for anxiety management, stress reduction, and somatic reconnection.
. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) & Hypnotherapy: Complementary tools to reframe patterns and access internal healing resources.
I tailor my work to the individual needs of adolescents and adults, with specific experience and dedication in:
. Trauma: Support in processing and overcoming painful or distressing life experiences.
. Perinatal Mental Health: Specialised support for women throughout the pre- and post-natal periods.
. Management of anxiety, chronic stress, and the pursuit of emotional balance.
I am here to walk alongside you on this journey of self-discovery and emotional empowerment. Let’s connect.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
