We’re not meant to struggle alone. Feeling lost, anxious, more sad than ok, more angry than ok, not having a sense of who you are, not feeling much at all – these are difficult human experiences. For many of us, emotions can be frightening and overwhelming, hard to connect to and identify. Substance abuse (alcohol/drugs), eating disorders, depression and anxiety are deeply connected to what’s happening in our inner world and are symptoms of the emotional pain, sadness and possible trauma that we might be living with and desperately trying not to feel.

I work with clients experiencing difficulty with their moods, work/life stress, body/pain issues, relationship difficulties,child-parent relationship, peer pressure/relationship, attachment issues, childhood/unresolved difficulties, trauma/PTSD, and mental, physical or sexual abuse.
From the time you walk into my office, we will do a complete assessment together, discuss your concerns/needs and plan goals accordingly. I am a client-centered therapist and let my clients lead the session because I believe that a client is the leader of their life and they are allowing me to walk with them on the journey of self-discovery. I check-in with my clients from time to time to know if they are reaching their goals with each session.

All of my professional work has been rooted in advocating for others, community building, and supporting healing and growth.

My work with survivors offers me a trauma-informed analysis and approach that is open and non-judgmental. I provide care within an anti-oppressive, feminist, queer, and sex-positive framework. I welcome people whose lives and identities are not often recognized or valued in the mainstream. I welcome you.

Hello and welcome! I am a practioner who is passionate about supporting folks in building a life that is meaningful and value-driven, in spite of whatever challenges are present.

Sometimes, we may find ourselves facing life experiences which bring us suffering and we have not enough answers. We might feel strange, anxious, sad, worried with symptoms of emotional pain. On these moments, a therapist assistance would provide a safe, healthy environment to work on those issues. The therapy environment aims at allowing you the possibility to access to the root of difficulties rather than looking at exterior manifestations During our sessions, I will not judge either your past or present choices. My private practice includes services in Spanish (my mother tongue) providing brief and long-term treatment.

You may be at a point in your life when you want to look at the barriers that are getting in your way or envision a different situation than you have now. Whether you are sorting through an overwhelming life event, or are wondering why you feel a certain way, I want to understand your experience and what is important to you. It is key that you feel supported to bring forward what you want to talk about so that together we can begin to make sense of what is going on for you.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
