Welcome to my home page! I have always felt the need to help others through music and therapy. Prior to my arrival in the United States, I was a successful psychologist and musician in Brazil. Since 1989, I have performed psychotherapy with adults and children, women (pregnancy, rape crisis, domestic violence, etc.). I have also developed an inovative tecnique to stimulate comatose patients through music. In the USA, I have worked with Neurological clients (TBI, Brain Injury, etc.), Substance Abuse and Psychiatric patients at in and outpatient units. I also have a deep love for music, which led me to a successful career in Brazil as a classical soprano in the Sao Paulo State Symphonic Choir, pianist/organist/choir conductor for weddings, churches and events. In 1999 I decided to combine my talents by pursuing a Masters in Music Therapy at New York University. By continuing to work as a musician in New York and Connecticut, in 2004 I was awarded a scholarship through the Boston Conservatory where I have obtained my Masters in Opera/ Voice performance. In fact, Music is healing and understanding people's minds and souls is musical!
