Do you feel overwhelmed, sad or ashamed? Have you tried to solve things on your own with no significant results? Do you fear that you'll always have to live as though you are barely keeping your head above water? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you've clicked on the right profile. I understand! My name is Carolina and I help adults struggling with mental health. Having been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, my personal experience is an additional asset to my professional expertise. So many of my clients started where you are, and are now reporting feeling empowered, in control and thriving. I want that for you too!

Through out my long professional life in therapy and counseling I worked with adults, children (+10), couple and families. I worked with people dealing with different challenges, and always found that no matter how hopeless the situation might seem, and no matter how difficult the challenges might appear, people, most of them, can overcome negative feelings and experiences when they get the professional support they need and deserve.

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in Ontario and I hold a doctoral degree in Psychology (Ph.D./Psy.D.) from the Université du Québec à Montréal.

There is a place for you here. Therapy in the heart of Westboro. Sometimes we need space to make sense of our experiences. Life transitions, such as parenting, relationship changes, profound loss, or the unexpected are a chance to pause, reflect and understand our experiences. I enjoy working with parents adjusting to parenthood, young adults figuring out their next steps, and couples navigating their relationship in parenthood. For some, spirituality is important and I am adept at holding space through this lens. This is a place to talk it through and together find different skills to manage and make sense of your world.

Who you are and who you can become are far greater than the problems, critical narratives, and the self-defeating patterns that can have a way of defining you. My goal is to support youth and young adults in moving forward in their lives by effectively addressing difficulties related to mental health, unresolved past or current relationship trauma and grief, persistent loneliness, excessive worry and overthinking, anger management, and navigating the complexities of early adulthood. I believe that therapy is most effective when it deeply respects and builds upon your own unique strengths, abilities, values, and past resourcefulness.

Navigating life can be difficult, especially when you’re in new territory. Feelings of depression or anxiety can spiral into more fears and doubts. Being a young adult brings all sorts of pressure, and most of us don’t get much education in how to make that transition. It’s common to cope by avoiding, using drugs or alcohol, or isolating. Fortunately, things can improve. Life may never be perfect, but you can learn new skills and effective ways of dealing with challenges. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and specialize in helping young adults and couples who want to feel more confident, accepted, and joyful in the world.

I provide psychotherapy to youth, adults, and families on a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and relational issues.

I hope to provide you with an open and professional atmosphere with the goal of working through emotional difficulties, facilitating personal growth, forming healthier relationships, and moving on in your life.
