Hi, I'm Catarina. I am a psychologist and advocate. I see therapy as a co-constructed space in which clients can re-connect with their emotions, curiosity, imagination, and radical self-love. I am my clients’ accomplice in change, and together we work to subvert harmful internalized messages, have compassion for our emotions, listen to the wisdom of our intuition, connect with kindness for ourselves, and discover agency. I intend not only to affirm my clients’ experiences, identities - but to collaboratively liberate: helping clients become author and actor in the process of dismantling internalized pain and oppressive systems.

Deciding to speak with a therapist sounds pretty simple, but it's no easy act of vulnerability.

As a queer therapist, I join with my clients through lived experience and view mental health through a social-justice and change-oriented lens. I will be there to support you through your journey. Let's begin writing the story of your life you want to tell.

Over the past 24 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues from depression and anxiety to stress and relationship issues. My clients describe me as approachable, down-to-earth and practical in my work with them. I enjoy the process of exploring what is causing distress and identifying together what needs to be done to resolve those issues, whether that be learning more effective ways of responding or working towards acceptance, or a little bit of both. I believe my clients know best what they need and I am there to guide them in that process.
