I’m a child therapist dedicated to transforming children’s lives through innovative and personalized therapeutic approaches. With over 7 years of international experience and specialized training, I bring to Brazil new ways to promote emotional and behavioral development in children, helping them overcome challenges in a healthy way.
Here, in addition to the care that child therapy offers your child, you will find a safe space for parents, where you will be heard, supported, and encouraged without judgment. A place where you can feel comfortable sharing your doubts, fears, and experiences.
You won’t be pressured to find quick fixes for the challenges your child is facing. We won’t reduce childhood development and well-being to behavior checklists or comparisons. So, you might ask:
These are the pillars that promote healthy and balanced development. Childhood cannot – and should not – be measured by rigid standards. Each child is unique, and our role is to respect their pace and needs, helping them build a flexible and strong emotional foundation through meaningful experiences. My mission as a child therapist is to create a welcoming and transformative environment where you and your child can work together to overcome emotional and behavioral challenges.
My hope is that you discover the best answers often lie in the genuine connection with your child and the support you receive throughout the process, and I can assure you that I’ll be by your side, offering a caring space, sharing effective strategies, and, most importantly, helping your child and family find the balance and happiness they deserve.
My journey as a child therapist began in Australia, where I completed certifications in Community Services and Early Childhood Education, followed by specialized training in Play Therapy and Sandplay. Later, I completed my postgraduate studies in Counseling at the University of Southern Queensland, specializing in Child, Youth, and Family.
Over the past 7 years, I have worked with children from different cultures and backgrounds, providing therapeutic support exclusively to children diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and its comorbidities, such as ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, and other behavioral and emotional challenges. This experience has allowed me to develop a therapeutic approach that respects each child’s individuality, promoting healthy and balanced emotional development.
Each session is an opportunity to establish a genuine emotional connection with the child, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I believe that by respecting each child’s individual pace and needs, we achieve deep and lasting therapeutic results.
My approach is child-centered, meaning I follow the child’s lead, offering support and guidance as needed. Whether through Play Therapy, Sandplay, or Counseling, I am here to facilitate positive transformation processes that impact both the child’s and the family’s lives.
