Your experiences, desires, and relationships are deeply human—and deserve to be explored with compassion and curiosity. Sexuality, identity, and connection are beautifully complex, shaped by cultural, biological, psychological, and relational factors. These experiences can bring joy and freedom, but also stir vulnerability and uncertainty. Whether you're seeking support for relational challenges, self-discovery, or healing from trauma, I offer a non-judgmental and affirming space where you can explore your full self with honesty and care. Together, we will navigate your unique journey with empathy, sensitivity and understanding.

The people I work with all have incredible stories and have lived many lives. They are rebels; choosing the road less travelled. Foraging their own path to healing and seeking someone to walk along side them.
Some of the folks I work with are breaking generational patterns or healing from early experiences of trauma. Many are releasing internalized stereotypes that Western culture has given them. All are slowly coming home their authentic selves.
Working with me offers a deep therapeutic connection; where all of you is welcome exactly as you are. We move beyond symptom management in a slow, deep and gentle explorative practice.

I have experience helping clients process and heal from a range of traumatic experiences, including abuse, motor vehicle accidents, loss, and crisis situations. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples who are looking to repair or strengthen their closeness and connection.

I am passionate about working with women and addressing issues that are standing in the way of you experiencing life from a place of joy, self-love and empowerment. As women we tend to wear many hats such as daughter, mother, spouse, caregiver, career woman. Low self-esteem, co-dependency or inability to say no, feeling responsible, poor body image, fertility issues, sexual abuse or abuse, perfectionism or emotional eating...all these challenges can create stress and overwhelm which can lead to anxiety, depression and more.

When your child is struggling with big emotions, anxiety, school stress, family changes, or friendships, it is hard to know how to help. I support children and teens through a child-centred, connection-focused approach that helps young people feel understood and supported, and more confident in navigating life’s challenges, while also working with parents and adults experiencing anxiety, grief, parenting stress, and life transitions. My own experiences with divorce and hospice volunteering have given me a deep understanding of grief, loss, and life transitions, and as a wife and mom, I value connection and creating safe spaces.

You may be here with a specific goal, a desire for self-exploration, or simply a feeling that something isn't working and you're not sure why. Perhaps you're navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, loneliness or concerns related to gender, sexuality, or sexual wellbeing. If you're looking for a counsellor who understands the nuances of cultural complexity, and/or someone who offers gender-affirming care, you're in the right place. I help you find direction by asking questions, offering perspectives, and exploring unhelpful patterns with compassion and curiosity. Here, it's you and me vs the problem.

I, Nancy Aguirre, focus my practice on trauma because stressful life changes, neglect, abandonment, emotional/physical/sexual childhood abuse, rejection, exploitation, incest or family violence could result in experiencing distorted perceptions, emotions, beliefs and meanings about the self and life. Trauma freezes the traumatic experience in the nervous system creating unhelpful thinking, and negative self-assessment. These conditions can affect your capacity to tolerate and adapt to life's ups and downs; break old patterns that hold you back; avoid engaging in risky behaviours; and re-enacting your past traumas over and over.

You're tired of hearing from teachers, fighting with your child at home, and feeling like nothing you try is working. You know your child isn’t a bad kid, you don't need the teacher to tell you that, but then why do they act like that?

Hello, I’m Victoria, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I offer trauma therapy to adult clients and teens.
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, numb or flooded with emotion. We all have a deep need for connection, yet life’s experiences can leave us feeling isolated or unsafe, making it difficult to fully engage in life and relationships.
As both a client and a therapist, I understand the courage it takes to step into therapy. I approach this work with deep respect, care, and sincerity, creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.
