About me

Hello, and welcome! I’m Cibelle! I am from Brazil and have been living in the US for over 20 years. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, cope with their grief, understand and make the changes they want in their relationships.  Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or simply looking for personal growth, I am here to offer support and guidance on your journey. Helping families has always been my passion and I am so honored to be able to provide services that are family centered.  

 

My Approach

 

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process—one that is rooted in trust, a compassion, and a deep understanding of each individual’s unique experiences. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a strong emphasis on attachment and respect. I work with clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping them make the changes they want to make in their lives and relationships. 

 

I draw from various therapeutic modalities, including Gestalt Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, to tailor our work to what will be most effective for you. I also believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.
