About Tania
Tania draws on methods that encourage practical change and emotional connection. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts, and emotionally focused ideas to address closeness and conflict. She also integrates trauma-focused work when past events affect daily life.
Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric settings, community health, university counseling centers, hospice, and integrated behavioral care. That variety informs how she helps people facing depression, addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, direct skills practice, and attention to relationships that shape daily life. Tania aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and make small changes that matter.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone and straightforward guidance. She will listen closely, help set priorities, and adjust plans as needs change. If you prefer Portuguese, she can work in that language.

She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they focus on what matters most to the client.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone work with a therapist across regions. Discuss scheduling and any practical needs during the matching and booking steps so appointments align with daily life.
