Therapists in Whitby, ON

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.

I am a registered psychotherapist with an integrative approach. My counseling considers all aspects of health: mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the inherent dignity and strength of the human person. I draw on these to help you manage your challenges and transitions, and to find new balance and purpose in life. I worked at CMHAWW, where I specialized in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have also worked in the addictions programs at St. Michael's Hospital and Humber River Hospital, where I specialized in concurrent disorders.

I have always had a passion for holding space for others as they confront pain and distress.

They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master!
