Did you grow up in an addicted or traumatized family system? When you grow up with addiction and trauma you suffer. You suffer from what happened, and you also suffer from what did not happen. If unaddressed, this can leave you with an insidious and invisible hole. Attempts to fill this hole from the outside can lead to perfectionism, co- dependency, self pressuring, and an endless drive to achieve. Therapeutic awareness shifts you from self judgement to self compassion. Your self doubt will transform into a greater tolerance for uncertainty. You will discover your sense of ground.

Are you tired of feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you, at times, frustrated with others, feeling miserable in your job, or disappointed in yourself or life? Bad habits you want to overcome? Perhaps, you thought that your life could have been way different by now, and it is not what you have been envisioning for yourself. I help the clients to reconnect with their true selves, reclaim their life, make powerful decisions and establish empowering habits. Through our work together, clients not only dare to thrive but also discover a newfound sense of freedom from the self-criticism that may have held them back for far too long.

How to find hope? If you are feeling stuck, engaging in therapy can help you get moving again. You are seeking CHANGE. You feel stuck or you are sliding into habits that cause pain and suffering. Insecurity and conflict are things you are experiencing more than you want to. You may have turned to substances to numb the pain. It takes courage to seek support. Healing begins in the presence of someone who cares and tries to understand your journey. I can offer you that support.

In my own life experience, I have learned two fundamental rules that support my work. First, I believe in the healing power of an authentic human connection and I prioritize the therapeutic relationship to create a safe, non-judgmental space for our work together. Second, through my travels and move from Italy to Canada, I learned that at the core of any life transition or challenge is a quest to focus our attention on our life stories and see ourselves as the active protagonists of these stories. I believe we are not called to this journey alone and there are times in our lives when we may need to reach out for help.

Accepting new clients! I help teenagers and adults manage anxiety stemming from life transitions, work-life balance, and trauma. Anxiety and past experiences should not define one's value or future, and we can make active changes to overcome these challenges. Many complain about how exhausting anxiety can be - but we don't have to resign to living like this forever. The way I see it, the goal of therapy is to both get to know yourself and your anxiety, but also to take back control to minimize its impact on relationships and academic or professional development.

Welcome! I'm so happy you're here, I'm accepting new clients. Therapy, while incredibly valuable, is also incredibly vulnerable and at times, hard. With this in mind, it’s important to me to create a safe space for people where they truly feel seen, heard, and understood. You may be feeling overwhelmed by a mixture of relationship challenges, anxiety, and/or life transitions. We can come together and sort through some of these pieces. Honouring both science and my own humanity, sessions with me are down to earth. I utilize evidence-based interventions, to create a nurturing space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

So often the ‘first step’ is the most difficult to take, but seeking out this profile means you’re halfway there. Knowing we need help, even thinking we know how to resolve a situation, it isn’t always enough. The work we do will address the gap between that knowing and actions that can start to make a difference for you. The qualities I try to cultivate in my work with clients— honesty, compassion, acceptance, and even (at times) humour— are the qualities that promote the kind of genuine connection that can support you in a process of growth and change that can gently help you to understand yourself and the path you’re on.
