I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 14 years of experience with a wide variety of clients. As far as I remember, nothing has ever fascinated me more than humans; their interactions; their mentality and how they grasp the universe. I knew far too young what I was made to do and am thrilled to be in the very profession I can see myself in for the rest of my life.

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I work with both individuals and couples of various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength and resilience of the people I have worked with.

My practice is focused on helping individuals struggling with various forms of distress such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I use my expertise to help individuals understand the factors that shaped their experience of the world and to become more flexible with how they act, relate, think, and make decisions. Clients will also be supported to develop healthier coping strategies to lessen the negative impact that chronic distress can have on their capacity to strive for meaningful goals. The client's internal resources and strengths are engaged to aid in the pursuit of these goals.

For the many people who call Canada home but have roots elsewhere, there is a sense of living in between cultures and not having a clear map to guide the way. Whether you yourself have left your homeland, or migration was a part of your family history, you might be wondering, “Who am I really?” and “Where do I truly belong?” You might have difficulty feeling “at home” within yourself - as you struggle with low self-worth and shame, or feel confused about your values. You might have difficulty feeling “at home” with others - in feeling different and alone without community, or guilty, anxious, and resentful in your relationships.

Navigating life’s challenges alone can be overwhelming, but you don't have to. Step into a therapeutic journey where understanding meets diversity and growth is nurtured with empathy. I believe in the potential for transformation and growth at every stage, fostering a space where vulnerability is not just accepted but celebrated and where change is nurtured. I offer a compassionate and collaborative space to explore the complexities of your experiences. I deeply respect your expertise in your own life. I focus on understanding your unique interpretations, what holds significance for you, and how you aim to overcome challenges.

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.

Therapy can be a daunting thing to consider, especially when dealing with grief. Grief can be overwhelming and evoke feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and confusion. Grief changes us in an instant, sneaking in and building a home in facets of our lives that we least expect. Grief is not solely about death; it encompasses any loss we experience. If you feel you're not "grieving properly," find the grief journey too overwhelming, or believe that having someone accompany you on this path would be beneficial, working with me may be one way to address the internal chaos felt after a loss.

Difficulty turning your mind off? Demanding perfection of yourself and falling short? Overwhelmed by deadlines, diapers, and never-ending discussions with... everybody? Everybody wants a piece of your time - including you! I work with busy professionals who recognize that their lives have become unsustainable. Perhaps it has shown up as high blood pressure, a strained relationship, or simply sustained unhappiness. Your life is not working as you would like and something needs to change.

Welcome! In my practice, I use an integrative approach to meet the unique needs of each client and family I work with. This includes practicing with a relational, attachment focused, and strengths-based theoretical base, along with an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed framework with clients. I incorporate modalities such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. These modalities can help clients gain insight into their circumstances, empower them towards/reach their goals and learn ways to effectively manage life’s challenges.
