Integrative Therapist and Counseling

My work comes from the union between what science explains and what listening embraces. As an Integrative Therapist, I use Applied Neuroscience and Emotional development to help people find more clarity, self-regulation, and well-being in their daily lives. My journey was built through studies between Brazil and the United States, training in Counseling and Mental Health Support and also did clinical supervision with psychiatrist Dr. Marden Ivan Negrão.

In practice, this means I don’t use rigid methods: each person has a unique story, and the techniques are always adapted to what you truly need at the moment. Living and moving through different countries and cultures has also deeply shaped my perspective. This international experience taught me to embrace without judgment those going through changes, transitions, and the emotional challenges of adapting to new realities.

I offer a safe, ethical, and personalized space for your well-being and self-awareness.

I offer services in Portuguese and English.

Our work is guided by ethics, responsibility, and continuous improvement, with professional registration and accreditation from ATR No. CRTP-9528 and the International Association ITR No. 22762.

What are Integrative Therapy, Complementary Therapy, and Bach Flower Therapy?

Integrative Therapy helps people in a way who are seeking emotional balance, stress reduction, and an improvement in quality of life, using techniques that connect body and mind to bring emotional well-being. Anxiety, stress, and emotional overload Sadness, discouragement, irritability Fear, insecurity, low self-esteem Emotional blockages Support during moments of transition or personal crises Loss and grief Mental fatigue and lack of clarity Physical and emotional tension Difficulty concentrating Triggers related to difficult experiences

Complementary Therapy Emotional support in disease processes For people who are going through: medical treatment (such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, chronic diseases, etc.) recent surgeries or diagnoses phases of fear, uncertainty and emotional exhaustion Helping to cope with the emotional effects of medical treatments Complementary support for children with specific needs and their families, with a focus on emotional and physical balance. Support in cases of emotional or chronic pain. The Support is complementary, along with medical treatment.

What are Bach Flower Remedies? Often, when we think about health, we focus only on the physical body. However, the balance of our emotions is fundamental to overall well-being. This is exactly where Bach Flower Remedies come in. Developed by the English physician Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s, this system, composed of 38 flower essences, aims to treat the individual and not the disease, acting directly on the person's emotional state. The premise is simple, but powerful: by balancing emotions such as fear, insecurity, anger, or sadness, the physical body gains strength to recover and stay healthy. Recognized by the WHO (World Health Organization). In Brazil, the Ministry of Health recognizes Flower Therapy as a valid and beneficial integrative and complementary practice for the population. In 2018, through an official decree, Flower Remedies were included in the PNPIC (National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices) of the Unified Health System (SUS). This was a historic milestone, as it validates the therapy not as "mysticism," but as a government-recognized health promotion tool. The recognition attests that the therapy is safe and can be used in conjunction with allopathic (traditional) medicine, without contraindications. How does the therapy work in practice? Flower essences are not chemical medications; they are vibrational essences. They do not "dope" or cause dependence. Each essence is indicated for a type of emotion or personality trait that is out of harmony. For example: Are you feeling an unknown fear or anxiety? There is a specific flower essence for you. Do you have difficulty saying "no" and feel overwhelmed? There is another flower essence for that. Have you suffered a recent shock or trauma? The famous Rescue Remedy (or the emergency combination) can help. Taking care of your emotions is taking care of your health. If you're looking for a more natural and gentle approach to dealing with everyday challenges, flower therapy is a safe, validated, and above all, comforting path!

Neuroscience

Applied neuroscience to emotional development seeks to understand how the brain influences thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and patterns that impact our daily life. Based on scientific knowledge about brain function, emotional regulation, neuroplasticity, and human behavior, it is possible to expand awareness of internal processes and build healthier strategies to deal with emotional challenges.

In therapeutic practice, the integration of human warmth, qualified listening, and knowledge grounded in scientific evidence allows for a broader and more individualized perspective for each person, respecting their history, context, and uniqueness.

The brain has the capacity for adaptation and learning throughout life. Understanding these processes can strengthen emotional resources, promote self-knowledge, and contribute to the development of new possibilities for coping, balance, and well-being.

My work integrates knowledge in applied neuroscience and emotional development, offering a safe and welcoming space, grounded in science, humanity, and individualized care

Unlocking Emotions

And what if just taking a deep breath doesn't help? 

The "Spontaneous Scribble" Technique (or Doodle) Often, the rational mind blocks what the heart wants to say. To get around this, try the Spontaneous Scribble: Take a blank sheet of paper and crayons or pastels (fluid materials work best). Close your eyes for a few moments and connect with the emotion you are feeling right now, without judging it. Still with your eyes closed, let your hand move freely across the paper for a few seconds. Don’t try to draw anything pretty or figurative, just let the movement flow. When you open your eyes, observe the lines. What do they say about your inner state? Try coloring in the spaces or finding shapes within the scribbles. This simple practice takes the pressure off 'making art' and focuses solely on expression, allowing repressed feelings to take shape and movement.

I know, it's frustrating. Sometimes anxiety feels so physical that trying to take a deep breath seems impossible. And that's okay: your body is just asking for a different kind of safety signal. I've prepared a Mental Emergency Kit with 5 quick neuroscience techniques. How about trying one of them with me right now? 😊 👁️ Fixed Gaze (Stabilization) Keep your eyes fixed on a point in front of you and gently turn only your head. This helps your vestibular system understand that the world isn't spinning. 🧘‍♀️ Seated Twist (Decompression) Right in your chair, twist your torso backward as if looking at someone calling you. Feel the twist 'squeeze' tension out of your body. 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↕️😏 "Yes, No, Maybe" (Micro-Movements) Make tiny movements with your head: a very light 'yes', a soft 'no', and a 'maybe' (ear to shoulder). These micro-signals help reorganize communication between your neck and brain. 🗣️ Talk to Yourself (Distancing) Use the 3rd person. Instead of saying "I am nervous," say "[Your Name] is feeling anxious right now." It seems like magic, but it instantly creates distance from emotional chaos. 3️⃣ The 3x3 Rule (Grounding) Look around quickly: Find 3 blue things. Hear 3 different sounds. Move 3 body parts. This "pulls" your brain back to the present. Weekly Challenge: Don’t try to memorize everything! Pick one of these techniques to be your best friend this week. Practice a little every day. That way, when anxiety hits, your body will already know the way back to calm. 💚 Which one will you try today?

Full Awareness

The practice of Mindfulness is essential for cultivating full awareness of the present moment and reducing stress. Through exercises, meditations, and breathing, you will learn to calm your mind and strengthen your connection with yourself. The 3-Cycle Pause Are you in a rush? Stop for a moment. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly, mentally counting 3 full breathing cycles. Just feel the air going in and out, without judging your thoughts. Why do it? This micro-pause 'resets' the brain, brings you back to the now, and helps reduce anxiety.
