Daytime availability only- I advocate for social and personal well-being, supporting individuals in finding their true selves, accompanying them on their journey of self-discovery, and awakening their inner wisdom. I believe that social evolution begins with personal transformation. I´m experienced in working with individuals addressing challenges in their interpersonal relationships. Also, related to sexuality, relationship issues (monogamous and non-monogamous), and LGBTQIA+ people. I also provide support through the grieving process, life transitions, immigration-related stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Greetings! I consider it both an honour and a privilege to be held in a position of trust and to listen and respond to my clients’ unique, rich life stories. Since 2014, I have accumulated extensive clinical experience using cognitive-behavioural therapy and relational, person-centred interventions to treat adults with various psychological, emotional, and spiritual challenges. Irrespective of my therapeutic approach and the presenting issue, I place the highest priority on creating a warm and empathic, safe, non-judgemental space where my clients and I can collaborate to come up with workable short- and long-term solutions.

Making sense of your behaviours and experiences can help you become a better version of yourself. Life and the relationships we form have a way of launching feelings and experiences our way that we're not always prepared to handle. Guilt that haunts our past, buried beliefs that enhance anxieties or despair that paralyzes us from moving forward can create negative behaviours, feelings, and thoughts. The way you live and approach your life can be shifted into a more positive direction to allow you to increase your self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness. Be a better version of yourself.

Feeling a little isolated, misunderstood or simply disconnected from yourself or those around you? Perhaps you’re seeking counselling to better understand how lived experiences might be impacting your wellness in the present. Or maybe you do not identify with any of these specific issues but want to explore some other issue through therapy anyway and aren’t entirely sure of the process….

I am a Venezuelan-Canadian queer woman of colour with lived experience of migration and I offer services in Spanish and English. I work from an evolving feminist, anti-oppression, sex-positive and poly-affirming framework. Gently and bravely understanding and unpacking the impacts of systemic and colonial structures on the constructs of identity and mental health is crucial for the work we will do together. Creativity, curiosity and compassionate care are at the core of my practice. When journeying through difficult experiences, art becomes a powerful friend for the courageous path of healing and transformation.

Sometimes life gets hard and our inner experience becomes heavy, overwhelming or just plain confusing. Like many others, you may long to feel light again or reconnect with who you once were. As a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), I believe the process of psychotherapy helps you feel less alone, less burdened and more understood. I recognize that it takes courage to take that first step in the healing journey and thus, I believe in meeting you wherever you are at. My experience comes from working with individuals living with grief and loss, trauma, substance use concerns, mood issues, and general feelings of being “stuck."

True healing is the return of body, mind, and emotion to balance. It is the spiritual restoration of wholeness to all parts of the Being. Recovery is a personal journey of self-discovery and regaining control of your path to wellness. This journey will involve learning from challenges and developing self-awareness about strengths and passions in order to develop meaningful goals related to your purposeful life.

Many of us feel stuck in familiar patterns that no longer serve us. Patterns that are barriers to healthy relationships, meaningful work and good feelings about ourselves. I will work alongside you to help make sense of how past experiences may influence these present day struggles. Together we can work to heal self-criticism; "over-reaction" or "overthinking" type responses; unwanted or intrusive thoughts; feeling "too much" or feeling numb; repeated tendencies that feel like self-sabotage; hard emotions linked to life transitions; and painful memories from past experience.

Sometimes we can feel disconnected from ourselves or from those close to us. Perhaps there are strong emotions pulling in many directions all at once, or a numbness with no explanation at all. In such times we feel anxious, overwhelmed and alone. There is safety in feeling accompanied by someone who cares, and can help find balance again. I believe our feelings can be great teachers, though often confusing. In this way, I believe we do have the answers within us. Unlocking them is a process: giving voice to emotions, being seen and understood, discovering a new awareness, taking steps gently in a new direction.

As humans we have a deep need to find connection. One of the most challenging things we can face is difficulty being seen and building relationship . Our routes to connection are forged in the relationships we first learn from, early in our lives. Finding our way through what that means for our current reality can be hard to do alone. Together we will explore what came before and what may be next, without losing sight of life now. Sometimes this means sitting in the muck with you; with the trauma, or the depression or the anxiety, and finding a way through; building new pathways of relationship and of being in the world.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
