Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck in life? Have you been struggling with negative thoughts, emotions, and unhealthy coping? You are not alone.

Taking the first step in finding support can be daunting, and doing so is already a strong indicator of inner strengths like courage and resilience. I offer a safe, caring, and non-judgemental space for you to be and learn about yourself so you can move toward the life you want to live.

As a registered social worker and psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, youth, adolescents, and families, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, build stronger relationships and develop the tools they need to thrive.
Being a child or youth in this world is hard. And being a parent in this world is hard too. I operate under the assumption always that all individuals are doing the best they can with the knowledge, skills and resources they have.

Presently, I am a student Masters level in Counselling Psychology practicing under clinical supervision. My approach to therapy consists primarily of building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. I value the unique dignity of every human person. I see the therapeutic relationship as a way of affective “being” with a person as opposed to effective “doing”. One of my goals is to reveal my client's intrinsic goodness. Therefore, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment in my therapy sessions. For a theoretical method, I use an integrative psychotherapy approach based on research-based theories.

When emotions feel overwhelming, numbing or life seems unmanageable, people often try to destroy the seat of their pain where it resides – in the body. It may feel like there’s no way out of the pain, but you don’t have to face it alone. Specializing in trauma, I work with adults facing a wide range of issues, including suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, abuse, immigration and cultural identity challenges. I am here to support you in processing your emotions, reconnecting with yourself and your strengths, breaking harmful patterns, and making empowered, meaningful choices that align with your values.

"Awareness is like the sun, it transforms everything that it touches." Have you ever found yourself in what seems to be an unsolvable situation? Living a life with no meaning?

So have I, and so have many people that I helped during my 10 years of clinical practice. You are not alone.

Hello! I'm Marilia (she/they), a queer Brazilian therapist who grew up in a place and time when being anything other than straight and gender-conforming was often met with discomfort or disapproval. As a child, I was often confused by how adults reacted to me—not “feminine enough”—and those early experiences of being misunderstood deeply shaped the lens through which I practice therapy today.

Effective relationships are central to our well-being. When our relationships are not going well, we can become lonely and isolated, and our mental health suffers. Seeking professional help to look at how we function in our relationships and the impact that they have on us and we on them, can open possibilities for growth. By recognizing the present-day impact of past events, by focusing on our goals for the future, and by changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can find a path to improved relationships and achieve better mental health.
