About
I have been working with therapeutic practices since 2006. I received a degree in Psychology at Federal University in Niteroi City, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I worked with children and families on a private practice as well as in schools as a school psychologist and a sensorimotor educator.
I moved to California in 2013. I worked in education for 4 years until I decided to return to the healing arts. Studying Shamanic Practices and the Hakomi Method (Somatic Psychology), changed my outlook on life. I decided to share that work with my clients and the challenges they are facing.
I have always been interested in energy healing and non-traditional health cultivation practices, such as Yoga, meditation, conscious breathing and spirituality. I believe spiritual practices are critical to ongoing growth and self-improvement. Spiritual practice means many things to different people. My holistic therapy model delves into this large, mysterious area to see if something I do, or something we can learn together, can help women on their journey of self-discovery.
Today I study Indigenous Wisdom (Andean Tradition, Mazatec Tradition and Curanderismo) and integrate in my work some of their practices. I always bring into awareness that we are part of Nature. Our healing happens through our connection with the Natural Cycles and the Forces of Nature that are also present in us.
We are owners and creators of our own reality. We can heal ourselves when we realize that Divine energy is within us, access it and transform limiting belief systems.
I believe that the best therapist acts as a guide (not an instructor) for the client to understand and welcome all their parts, so they can rediscover their inherent inner healer. This process leads to healing and personal growth.
I focus my practice on women. I do this by providing a space where women can be supported in their healing path and self discovery so they can embrace a more authentic and fulfilling life. Through this beautiful path women can reconnect with their inner power and self-love and develop a balanced feminine and masculine energy allowing to live their lives in their wholeness.

"I will not rescue you
For you are not powerless.
I will not fix you
For you are not broken.
I will not heal you
For I see you in your wholeness
I will walk with you
Through the darkness
Until you remember your light."
