Hi, I am Tasha... 17 years ago I was hospitalized for depression, after I had my first child. I felt hopeless and I felt that I had no excuse for why I couldn't "do life" and be happy like others seemed to be able to do. I was worried for the future of my child, I had witnessed too much human heartache to dream good things about the future. 5 years ago, I began my counsellor training. What I discovered changed my life. I am no longer ashamed that I struggled with depression. Depression is simply the opposite of expression. Addiction is simply the opposite of connection. I want to help restore hope to you and your loved ones.

I am a Mexican-Canadian, loving living in the Great White North. I am a wife and a loving mother of a sometimes-too-smart-for-her-own-good toddler and three fur babies. I am also a nerd who enjoys board games and a good cup of coffee. My professional life took me down many different roads until I finally realized my passion was to listen and help people, particularly those who feel they do not deserve help.

I am passionate about helping people work through past trauma and chronic stress. I believe we each have the answers & capacity to heal within ourselves; within our own bodies & minds. I work to guide and facilitate each client back to themselves; back to a place of healing. Trauma healing work requires commitment and dedication but will ultimately change patterns of thinking & behaviour to bring better health & success. I hope to support clients who are ready to do meaningful work to turn their lives in a new direction where they can utilize the skills & tools that I offer in their sessions with me.

Thank you for taking the time in search for someone to support you on your counselling journey. It can be challenging in reaching out for support and not knowing who the other person is . I believe that every person is unique therefore a unique approach needs to be used for similar challenges. I strive to build on client’s natural strengths and abilities to achieve desired outcomes. I have found my way to this work through exploring my personal and professional challenges in life.
