Starting therapy can feel like a daunting step, so my goal is to provide an empathetic and non-judgmental space where your life story is heard. Or if you are hoping to develop some coping skills, this may also be the space for you. I have experience supporting adults facing various difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, body image concerns, and difficulties with adjustment.

My name is Joshua and I am a Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Voice of Hope. I grew up in a household shaped by my parents’ experiences emigrating from El Salvador and Chile during periods of civil war. Their journeys, and the challenges they faced adapting to a new culture, deeply influenced my understanding of resilience, identity, and belonging.
Growing up in multicultural Toronto and learning English as my second language further shaped my awareness of the complexities that can arise when navigating multiple cultures.

Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of June 8th, 2026) My approach to therapy is shaped by the understanding that our lives are influenced by our experiences, the identities we hold, and the world around us. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we work together to make sense of what’s been weighing on you and explore ways to feel more grounded, understood, and empowered. I’m often a good fit for people who are ready to make shifts in their lives and are curious about understanding themselves and their patterns better. You are the expert on your own life, and it’s a privilege to support you along the way.

I am happy to work with an extensive range of clients and organize my practice around providing Client-Centred Therapy grounded in empirically-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I have lived experience as a first responder and am passionate about addressing the unique challenges associated with fulfilling such roles. In my experience working with people over the last 10 years, I've found that often their challenges are best addressed first and foremost by being heard; this act of listening is a gift that unlocks the resources hidden within.

Maybe you’ve tried to fix things, communicate differently, or give more—but nothing seems to change. You replay conversations, question yourself, and wonder if you’re asking for too much or not enough.
Sometimes the pain isn’t just about what’s happening now. Old wounds—feeling unseen, rejected, or not valued—can quietly shape how relationships feel today. This can leave you stuck in patterns that are hard to break on your own.
I work with adults who are struggling in close relationships—whether it’s with a partner, family, or within themselves. This includes experiences of rejection, distance, betrayal, and emotional disconnection

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal

You may be the person everyone relies on while quietly feeling exhausted underneath. Your mind rarely slows down. You overthink conversations, second-guess yourself, carry responsibility for others, and push through stress even when you are running on empty. Over time, this can leave you feeling anxious, burnt out, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you genuinely need anymore. Therapy can offer space to finally exhale, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and compassionate way.
