Originally from Brazil, I have called Ireland home for over 20 years. My own experience of building a life in a new country has given me a deep appreciation of the challenges and opportunities that come with change, identity, and belonging.
As a counsellor, I have worked with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, including asylum seekers, migrants, and people experiencing displacement and ambiguous loss. My experience includes crisis intervention, supporting vulnerable families, working within the disability sector, and supporting neurodiverse individuals and adults affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
I also have additional training in Ambiguous Loss and work with individuals and couples navigating relationship and family challenges. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and anti-oppressive, offering a safe space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
