Since my teenage years I have been very interested in understanding psychology. I was fascinated with the fact that a simple drawing could reveal people’s personality or mental status. So, deciding to go to college and study Psychology was an easy decision to me. I began my studies in Psychology at a University in Brazil, UNIMEP, a 6 year full time program, and graduated with the title of Psychologist. Then I got my Master’s in Professional Counseling at Georgia State University in order to get my license in the United States.
I’m very passionate about helping my clients, listening to their life stories and providing support in order for them to heal and grow and attain the life goals that they wish for.
It is very rewarding to watch my clients' process of healing and overcoming struggles.
Besides helping others, I really enjoy spending time with my family, and friends. I also like to practice sports. Once in a while I sign up for things that challenge my mind and body like triathlons and races. I have found that more important than training my body for races what really determines my ability to complete is my mindset. I think the human mind is so powerful and have tested it myself.
