Looking for a Portuguese-speaking therapist in Ontario or elsewhere in Canada?
I offer therapy in Portuguese and English, with in-person sessions in Toronto and online therapy across Ontario and selected Canadian provinces.

I work with many clients from Brazil and Portugal, as well as people from other Portuguese-speaking backgrounds, who are looking for therapy in Portuguese in Canada.

If you’re here, chances are that you or someone close to you is going through a difficult time and could benefit from psychotherapy.

As an immigrant originally from Brazil, with over 15 years of clinical experience, I understand how complex life abroad can be. 

Having the space to communicate in your native language can allow you to express yourself more naturally and more aligned with what you are actually feeling.

Therapy for individuals and couples

I offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples living in Toronto, North York, across Ontario and in selected Canadian provinces.

If you are dealing with intrusive thoughts, patterns that feel difficult to understand, or challenges in your relationships, this can be a space to explore these experiences. Together, we can focus on:

  • Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
  • Life transitions and major changes
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Grief and different forms of loss
  • Questions around identity and belonging
  • Stress related to daily life or work
  • Parenting and marital challenges
  • Intrusive thoughts that feel difficult to control

Culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care

For many people, being able to speak in their native language can bring a sense of familiarity, comfort, and connection, something that can feel especially important when navigating emotionally significant experiences. This is the kind of space I aim to offer in therapy. 

I bring over 15 years of experience as a psychologist in Brazil, along with a Ph.D. in Child and Youth Studies and postdoctoral training in Canada. My work is shaped by both clinical practice and research, with a particular focus on the emotional significance of the relationships people form, including those with animals.

Reaching out for support

Recognizing that you might need support, and reaching out for it, is not always simple. Living in a different country can sometimes bring up experiences or questions that you didn’t even realize were there before.

You are welcome to book a 15-minute consultation if you would like to explore this space. It can be an opportunity to ask questions, understand how I work, and see whether this feels like the right fit for you.
