Description
ATENÇÃO: Também ofereço terapia em português (do Brasil) I provide compassionate care and create a safe space for clients to express their emotions and feelings. My approach is integrative and focused on a strengths-based, client-centred perspective. I draw from emotion-focused therapy (EFT), psychodynamic, humanistic-existential, cognitive behaviour therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. My specialty involves clients facing grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illnesses, anxiety and depression. Também trabalho com desafios relacionados à imigração e ao ajuste ao Canada.
