Therapists in Toronto, ON

Warmth, engagement, attunement and compassion - these are some of the characteristics that support the relational work I offer clients. I'm an attachment-based, trauma-focused therapist, trained to integrate many other therapeutic approaches - for example, mindfulness, body-based approaches, stress reduction, psycho-education. I am particularly experienced in working with emotional neglect and abuse, physical/sexual trauma and dissociation, mood disorders, low self-esteem, self-harm (including eating disorders and addiction), identity issues (gender, sexuality and culture) and relationship difficulties (personal and professional).

Thanks for visiting my profile. I have been practicing Counselling with children, teens, and adults in Mexico and Canada for 25 years. Do you feel ready to engage in positive changes with consistent and reliable guidance? I offer my clients a safe space, empathy, confidentiality, respect, free of judgment. You may be suffering from a difficult life event, feeling stuck, lonely, or a lack of excitement in your life.

I support clients by providing a place to sort through and process all that feels overwhelming and difficult to manage alone. Together we will explore the places where you may feel stuck, held back, confused, frustrated or disconnected. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD, addiction, life transitions, grief and loss, family conflict and relationship issues. Together we will identify the barriers that limit you, shift negative thoughts, feelings and patterns, process old wounds and deepen your understanding of how you connect with yourself, others and the world around you.

Accepting a few new clients: Are you feeling anxious in your relationships? If you are feeling unseen, misunderstood, and stuck, I can work with you. Unprocessed events often show up as overwhelm, depression, conflicts, lack of boundaries, codependency, and low self-confidence and self-esteem. This can include things that happened within your close circles or systemic trauma. Through therapy, I will help you understand and unpack why you feel, think, and behave the way you do and learn and practice new skills for making positive changes. You can have agency over your own life.

Sometimes we are looking for change, figuring out our next step, or getting stuck and not living our lives fully. There could be moments of deep emotional pain and struggle when we feel alone and vulnerable, facing isolation, grief, loss or insecurities in important relationships. Not always we see clearly how to tackle those and we want to have someone to check with, be heard and seen, or get ideas for new directions. Learning to face inevitable life challenges, upsets, and crises of existence with confidence is what therapy is all about.

Thank you for being here, we are excited to meet you! As a queer owned and operated therapy clinic, we use a collaborative approach that draws from your strengths and encourages positive change. We specialize in working with the queer community, and our therapists incorporate an anti-oppressive framework, focusing on gender and identity affirming care. Whether you're in the middle of a life transition, struggling to cope with the everyday, feeling detached from your identity, or ready to work on healing old wounds, you don't have to do it alone. We offer a range of services including individual, youth, couples, and low-cost therapy.

We develop unique perspectives based on our personal experiences. Sometimes, our experiences can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and dysregulated. These emotions can impact our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves. I encourage therapeutic growth by nurturing the inner child, making peace with the inner critic, and reconnecting clients with their authentic sense of self. I value the healing impact of our parts being seen, heard, validated, and accepted. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered, Self-Compassion, Existential, Narrative, Strength-based, Attachment-based, and Polyvagal Theory.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, personal relationships, mood shifts, insecurity, grief or painful memories rooted in trauma, you shouldn't have to work through it alone. I provide a safe and supportive environment where we will work on shifting your relationship to past experiences. I will help you develop strategies in emotional regulation, relationship-building and self-love, by building self-awareness and reframing thought processes.
