- ACA
I’m an Australian-credentialed mental health professional with six years of experience, originally from Brazil. I’m currently registered as a Provisional Psychologist with AHPRA and hold membership with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) as a qualified Counsellor.
I support individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including PTSD, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, motivation, low self-esteem, and confidence.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centred principles—providing a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you are truly heard and respected. I draw from Jungian therapy to explore deeper subconscious patterns, including dream interpretation, and integrate evidence-based strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support meaningful change.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you already hold many inner strengths that can guide your healing and growth.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I honour you for beginning that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
