Sandy Springs, GA
I am the the daughter of two immigrants from Brasil and Germany, and I deeply treasure being a blend of different cultures. Born in Mobile, Alabama, I grew up near the water and thus believe the ocean is the most magical place on earth. I love animals to my very core, I have more hobbies than hours in a day, and I get a real thrill from unsubscribing from emails. I take recycling veryyy seriously, and I have never said no to a glass of orange juice so long as it's not made from concentrate. And I've always loved a good story. I am captivated by human resilience and the stories that shape our lives. What began as a dream of becoming an investigative journalist turned into something deeper: not just telling stories but helping people reshape their own. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2010 with degrees in psychology and journalism and became a Double Dawg when I got my Master of Social Work (MSW) in 2012. I have over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), guiding individuals, couples, and families through trauma, transitions, and challenges big and small. As a therapist, I am both a meticulous detangler of life's complications as well as a wholehearted cheerleader. I approach both therapy and life with compassion, curiosity, and hope.
