My Approach to Helping
Welcome to SondeMind! I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and a psychologist in Brazil. Helping others brings me true joy and I am happy about the potential to support you in your journey. I have over 30 years of experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, family issues, self-esteem, trauma, and other mental health problems. I can help you identify the sources of your distress and will collaborate with you to find your best path. We will build resilience, develop adaptive coping skills, and begin healing to overcome the barriers to your well-being. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and psychodynamic modalities. I hope to create a space that feels safe and nonjudgmental where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Therapy is an investment that usually takes time to make a longer-lasting change but hopefully, over time you will feel more in control and able to manage life’s many challenges and obstacles. I will use a treatment plan to help my clients work out which services they need, set goals, and decide on the best treatment options for them.
