I'm a Counsellor and Psychotherapist holding an MSc in Counselling and several qualifications in Addiction Counselling. I have been working in the field of addiction and associated disorders since 2003 gaining extensive experience working with compulsive behaviours, mental health and substance addictions. Over the years, I worked primarily in leading residential treatment facilities as Counsellor, Senior Counsellor, Head Therapist and Clinical Manager overseeing teams of multidisciplinary clinicians. I worked individually with clients over extended periods of time affording the opportunity for long term and sustainable recovery and change. As an integrative therapist with long experience working in the addiction and compulsive behaviours’ field, I can provide a range of different models and concepts of therapy, such as CBT, CAT, MI, Relapse Prevention, Psychodynamic, Systemic and Gestalt. I also facilitate psycho educational workshops and interpersonal psychotherapy groups as well as individual therapy. I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
