Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event that has impacted your ability to focus or cope with the everyday? Trauma continues to live in our systems long after the event has happened, sometimes remaining hidden until something triggers it to come to the surface. Trauma can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including physical pain, lead to anxiety, depression, attachment or relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addictions, and can impact our perceptions leading to unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. My clients report a reduction in their symptoms, describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more present.

My name is Synthia and I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario who has experience in working with people across the lifespan, including those experiencing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and many more. I have completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology and a Master of Education in Developmental Psychology at the University of Toronto, alongside a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have been in the field of mental health for about 6 years now, and worked across many settings, including crisis lines, counselling centres, private practice, and hospital settings.

With over a decade of experience within the field, it is my true passion to work with adolescents, adults and families. I have a diverse background, but specialize in difficult life transitions, anxiety/mental health, trauma/PTSD, addiction and emotional regulation difficulties. I offer a trusting therapeutic, safe and confidential virtual space by phone/video to promote vulnerability which leads to interpersonal goals and growth. I practice traditional methods of therapy such as psychotherapy, DBT, CBT, ACT, solution focused, evidence based, and trauma informed care.
