You are not broken. You’re navigating a life shaped by deep experiences—some painful, some confusing, some overwhelming. I provide a compassionate, affirming space to explore trauma, ADHD, ASD, BPD, life transitions, identity questions, behavioral struggles, anxiety, and depression. I also offer parent coaching and training support to help caregivers better understand and respond to their child’s unique needs with confidence and care. You deserve support that sees all of you—and I’m here to walk with you through it. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking clarity, therapy is a space to reconnect.

There are seasons in life when the weight feels too heavy to carry alone. Pain, loss, broken relationships, trauma, grief, and life’s unexpected turns can leave you feeling overwhelmed, weary, and searching for hope. In such moments, psychotherapy becomes more than support—it becomes a place of refuge, healing, and gentle renewal.

Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.

Hi, I’m Andrea, and I go by Drea! I aim to create a supportive space for people who have been marginalized because of their identities or life experiences. I have worked with children, youth, older adults, and people from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. My approach may be a good fit if you feel “stuck”, overwhelmed, or isolated. You don't need to be able to put it into words, we can explore these experiences together through art and present-moment awareness. I believe everyone is an artist, and that the process matters more than the final result. Using shapes, colours, and images can help process buried thoughts and feelings.

I also provide therapy in Tagalog/ Filipino language.
Helping health professionals and first responders overcome their mental health concerns, trauma, and life transitions is my specialty. Perhaps your family & friends say “You’re just not the same, you’re not like yourself”, as you have become withdrawn, irritable, angry or even aggressive. Do you find what used to be a rewarding work experience is becoming draining and overwhelming? Do you often get reminded of a distressing memory from work? If you startle easily, have aches and pains, or find it hard to concentrate and sleep, you might be wondering, why is this happening and what can I do to about this? I’m right here to help you.

I offer therapy in English and Tagalog.
You may appear capable and put-together on the outside, while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of yourself underneath. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or never feeling “enough.” Some are new to therapy or grew up in environments where emotions or therapy were discouraged.
I also support professionals seeking a practical, solution-focused space to rebuild routines and create sustainable structure. Together, we design intentional changes, with clear action plans and accountability to support follow-through.

Reproductive life transitions—particularly the perinatal period—are a time of profound vulnerability, marked by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social dynamics. This creates a cascade of stressors that impact mental health, relationships, and well-being, often intensified by societal expectations and systemic inequalities. These transitions encompass a wide range of experiences that can deeply affect your mental health and emotional landscape. Feeling overwhelmed during this time is normal, and seeking specialized support is essential for navigating these transformative experiences.

I work with children (5+) who benefit from Art Therapy to process their day-to-day experiences and emotions. I follow their lead to foster safety and creative expression, helping them make sense of their world and move forward with confidence.
I work with individuals (12+) who have experienced childhood abuse, neglect, attachment wounds, and relational trauma. Many of my clients have survived grooming and exploitation. They come to therapy seeking healing—saying things like, “I want to move on” or “I want a better life for myself or my child.” My clients have also faced racism, systemic injustice, and religious trauma.

As a second-generation Filipino-Canadian, I know grief can carry cultural expectations and silence.
My name is Kelly, and I work with people moving through grief, whether it’s the loss of a loved one or the “non-death” grief that comes with breakups, big life changes, health struggles, or shifting identities. Grief doesn’t always look like tears; it can show up as exhaustion, brain fog, irritability, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you feel like you should be “over it” by now, or that nobody gets how heavy it feels. Grief can be isolating, confusing, and exhausting, I offer a space to process it in a way that makes sense for you. Accepting new clients!
