A journey marked by care for people, relationships, and families.
Throughout her personal and professional journey, Ingrid developed a compassionate perspective on relationships, family dynamics, and the emotional challenges faced by individuals, couples, and families.
Before working in counselling, she spent 13 years in the Brazilian judicial system, where she witnessed human, family, and relationship conflicts firsthand. As a mediator, she strengthened her understanding of the impact of deep listening, dialogue, and peaceful conflict resolution.

Therapeutic approaches
These are the approaches that guide my work with individuals, couples, and families to promote safer, more collaborative, and healthier relationships.
Systems Theory
Systems Theory views each person within their relationships and broader contexts, such as family and community. In practice, it helps identify interaction patterns and support changes that positively affect the whole family system.
Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive Therapy addresses thought patterns and beliefs that sustain emotional distress and recurring conflict. With practical strategies, clients develop greater emotional regulation, clearer thinking, and healthier day-to-day responses.
Structural Family Therapy
Structural Family Therapy focuses on family organization, roles, and boundaries. It supports healthier functioning by realigning relationships, improving communication, and strengthening a more supportive family dynamic.
Attachment Theory
Attachment Theory explores how early bonds shape emotional safety, trust, and intimacy across life. In counselling, it helps foster more secure connections and more satisfying relationships within the family and beyond.
What people say about the process
Accounts inspired by real experiences of emotional and relational restoration.
“
We learned to communicate in a mature and respectful way. The process helped us rebuild trust and move forward together.
“
We arrived in crisis, without direction. The sessions gave us concrete tools to handle conflict without growing apart.
“
We found a safe space with genuine listening and practical guidance. The couple's reconnection was visible to the whole family.
The first step is the most important one.
No matter where your relationship is right now. What matters is the decision to seek help. I am here to walk with you through genuine listening, without judgment, and with purpose.
