I specialize in treating a wide range of trauma-related problems, both acute and chronic, past and present. Additionally, I specialize in anxiety-related problems, diverse phobias, depression, grief, anger management, and relationship issues.
In addition to my therapeutic experience, I have over 25 years of experience in Christian ministry. For clients who wish to do so, faith can be integrated into their therapy healing journey.
I am committed to delivering compassionate and personalized care for clients of diverse backgrounds and experiences. I offer sessions in English and Portuguese. I am dedicated to addressing my clients' unique needs and empowering them to achieve profound, transformational change in their emotional well-being and personal growth.
At the heart of my work is a belief in transformation. Whether you’re here for individual counseling or to become certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, my goal is to make the path to healing feel clear, compassionate, and achievable.
As a counselor at Faith and Hope Counseling Center in Pensacola, FL, I offer trauma-informed therapy rooted in compassion, clarity, and care. I use evidence-based methods like ART to help clients process distressing experiences, and for those who desire it, I also integrate faith-based principles to support emotional and spiritual well-being.
Healing looks different for everyone, and that’s why your therapy experience will always be tailored to your unique needs, values, and goals.
As a certified Master ART trainer, I have the privilege of training mental health professionals in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a brief and evidence-based therapy. I offer interactive, hands-on 3-day training designed to build both clinical skill and confidence.
Whether you're just beginning to explore ART or ready to advance your trauma treatment skills, I’d love to support your professional journey.
