Life Transitions Therapists in Stouffville, ON
Welcome! Sometimes the stress of day to day life can be really overwhelming. Perhaps you get stuck in overthinking the past, or worry about the future. You are not alone and therapy can help. I work with adults who want to develop greater awareness of their experiences, emotions, and thoughts to feel more grounded, in control, and balanced. My therapeutic approach centers empathy, compassion, curiosity, and a fundamental belief that we all carry a lot, but we don't have to carry it alone. Together, we create a space that is safe for you, to explore what is important to you.

I work with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and past hurts that still feel present today.
My approach helps you understand the different parts of yourself. One part of you might worry a lot, another may shut down when things feel overwhelming, while another part hopes for something different. Instead of pushing these parts away, we get curious about them and learn what they need. When we understand them, new possibilities can open up.

As a psychotherapist, I believe that each individual's journey is unique, and so should be the approach to healing and growth. I focus on fostering deep, authentic connections in therapy and creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into my work, a highly researched, evidence-based approach that the World Health Organization has deemed the top treatment for trauma.

I can help you with stress, self-esteem, body image, disordered eating, life transitions, and emotional well-being.
If you’re heading into this season holding it all together on the outside, but secretly feeling exhausted, burnt out, or deeply disconnected from yourself on the inside—I see you. Between navigating the 'mental load' of ADHD, managing busy family schedules, or wrestling with chronic dieting and body image struggles, it is easy to feel entirely lost in the fog. Knowing why you are overwhelmed doesn't stop your nervous system from going into survival mode. You aren't broken, and you don't need to be "fixed"—you might just need a safe place to land.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, burnout, loss, postpartum challenges, or a major life transition, therapy can be a space to slow down and receive support.
As a Filipino immigrant, Christian, wife, and mother, I understand how identity, faith, and life transitions shape both struggle and growth. I bring this awareness into a compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach to therapy.
