If you want to speak to someone who won't judge, really listens, and can help you find your best self, I would love to hear from you. The first priority is finding a therapist you feel safe with. We begin by exploring the issues and understanding the challenges, but the real work is learning to be gentle with ourselves as we acknowledge the need for a shift and begin to implement new practices. If you have had a traumatic experience, try to seek support within 3 months to prevent PTSD and other issues from developing. EMDR can help immensely to decrease distress. There are no distance issues online. Clients from anywhere welcome.

Have life's stressors and uncertainties left you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you often ask yourself “why me” or “will this pain and suffering ever go away?" Your thoughts and feelings are valid. My lived experience as a trauma survivor has shaped my understanding of how trauma negatively affects the mind, body and spirit. As a registered nurse and therapist, I have seen firsthand how unresolved trauma can manifest as anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts or shame. Through a mindfulness and empowering approach, I will accompany you on your healing journey by providing you with a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Welcome! I’m Alessia - a nature lover, a concert goer, and a Registered Psychotherapist who is passionate about working with young adults. Being a young adult in 2024 comes with many societal pressures that can make the transition into school, career, relationships, or general adulting, even more overwhelming than it already is! When the voice of external influence and shame is louder than your intuitive voice, you might feel “stuck” or disconnected from yourself, leading to a life that doesn’t feel like it’s truly yours. If you’re here because you’re ready to create some change from within, I see your courage, and I’m here for you!

At times, life can feel complex and challenging for all of us. However, finding a therapist who is a good fit for your individual needs can feel very reassuring. The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is an important aspect in determining the efficacy of your therapeutic experience. I have a Masters in Social Work, and I am a Registered Social Worker with more than 15 years of psychotherapy and case management experience. Although I am primarily attachment-based in my approach, I integrate other treatment modalities to accommodate a client's individual needs for therapy.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/family/friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.
