About Nágela

Hi there!

Life can feel overwhelming when you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling to manage your emotions, or experiencing difficulties in your relationships, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I work with individuals and couples to develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have 5 years of clinical experience, including my work as a licensed psychologist in Brazil. I currently practice as a resident social worker (LMSW) in TN and FL.

My approach is warm, genuine, and supportive, while also helping you take meaningful steps toward change. I draw from CBT, ACT, and DBT to tailor therapy to your needs and goals. As a bilingual therapist, I also offer Portuguese-speaking and bicultural clients a space where they can express themselves fully and feel truly understood.

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, understood, and safe to be yourself. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space that honors your unique identity, experiences, and values. Even virtually, I prioritize genuine connection so you feel heard, respected, and supported.
