Well, you could say I started this journey as a child alchemist. No, really. Growing up in the 90s in Brazil as a neurodivergent, closeted little queer girl meant a childhood of potion mixing, questioning how my mind worked, and how to make people happy. Oh, and daydreaming about cracking the code to life’s mysteries of course. 

While the quest continues, it eventually led me to psychology. I’ve been practicing as a licensed professional counselor since 2016. 

While the quest still remains, this journey took me to the field of psychology, where I have been practicing as a licensed professional counselor since 2016. And though I’m not quite the alchemist I once imagined, my curiosity about the workings of the mind led me to the study of psychedelics as a clinical tool. Today, I have the privilege of practicing as a certified provider of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
