Therapists in V6E
I have graduated in Psychology for 14 years and have a postgraduate degree in school psychology. In Brazil I am a psychologist and here in Canada I am a counselor. I have 14 years of experience in clinical psychology with the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT approach. And 9 years ago I also adopted the use of Mindfulness in my clinical practice. It's very rewarding and I really love seeing the evolution and improvement of people who seek therapy, it's a victory to see them growing and developing.

Folks come to me frustrated and defeated about patterns they or their loved ones repeat over and over. I’m here to work with you to disrupt those patterns, and see what amazing things are possible! I am passionate about making relationships work again.
Sometimes it feels like we can’t get past deep wounds in partnership, or in life. I can help you find creative solutions, and encourage deep listening between partners so you can all feel that closeness and connection you've been missing.
I work in a way that is kink- and poly-competent, and love supporting diverse gender identities and relationship structures/orientations.

Sometimes life events make us feel as if we are inside a tornado or stuck in a fog. I’ve been there myself, I know how it feels. It caused me to lose touch with my true self and cross paths with anxiety & depression decades ago. Finding my way back to myself was so impactful that I left a solid career in corporate to become a Registered Counsellor. If you find yourself lost in that fog battling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, relationships or disconnected from your true self, I am here to help you clear the way so you can reclaim your true self again, mind, body & soul. :)

Are you going through a period of change, loss, or emotional disconnection? Perhaps you feel drained, uncertain, or have lost touch with who you are. I support women who want to heal their self-esteem, reconnect with self-love, and regain emotional balance, especially during life transitions or personal transformation.

Life can bring moments of uncertainty, loss, and pain that feel heavy and overwhelming. I understand what it’s like to go through difficult times because I’ve walked a similar path myself. Through both personal experience and professional training, I’ve learned that healing and growth often come not from avoiding struggle, but from facing it with compassion and support. My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey, helping you reconnect with the strength and resilience that already exist within you.

Does your child need support navigating challenges like ADHD, behavioural concerns, hyperactivity, motivation, decision-making, focus, aggression, shyness, or other social-emotional issues? At Positive Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to see your child struggle. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space to help children and teens develop critical life skills, in the following areas: self-control, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These children ultimately become independent, confident, inquisitive, enthusiastic, responsible and compassionate adults in later years.

Welcome. You might be carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or the impacts of gender-based or sexualized violence. You may be moving through burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or exploring what non-monogamy, polyamory, or your 2SLGBTQ+ identity means for you. I care about all that you’re holding. With a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach, my hope is to create a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and understood. I’m honoured to work with teens (16+) and adults, opening portals together into growth and possibility.

Have you ever rushed out the door only to realize you forgot something or spilled coffee all over yourself? Have you ever said to yourself, “I'm tired of feeling this way/ I shouldn’t be feeling like this,” yet the feelings persist and sometimes come back stronger? These may seem like two distinct, unrelated instances I am raising, but I parallel them with how we often approach our problems: we tend to want to rush through them or judge ourselves for having the emotions and reactions to the difficulties life tosses at us. I’m here to propose an alternative: your feelings are valid, no matter what you’re seeking help for.

You may feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or trauma; feel disconnected in your relationships; or face identity questions, life transitions, or burnout. Many of my clients are navigating the stress of being “different”- as LGBTQ+, immigrants, professionals under pressure, or simply people carrying invisible burdens. You want relief from shame, confusion, or isolation, and a space where you can be understood without judgment. You may long for clarity about who you really are, healthier connections, or the ability to live more authentically. My role is to support you in rediscovering resilience, meaning, and self-confidence.

You may be someone who feels called to reorient your relationship with yourself, with life, or with others. Often this comes after realizing that insight alone, self-work, or short-term approaches have not created the depth or consistency you are seeking. You may function well externally, yet sense that something essential is asking to be met more honestly. This work is for individuals willing to stay with a process over time and take responsibility for their inner and relational life.

I know life can be complicated and that our “stuff” is rarely isolated to one area of life. I will support you in making connections between your experiences, making them a little lighter to carry. My diverse professional, academic and lived experiences provide me with insight into some of life’s challenges, including anxiety, transitions, interpersonal relationships, body image, illness, and addiction. I'm interested in the relationship between the body and mental health, and use both conventional and creative strategies to connect with these experiences, including sports and arts-based approaches.

Therapy could be the key to open your compassionate process of accepting yourself and expanding your mental and heartfelt capacities. Moving at your pace and preference, we explore and identify your emotional, mental and relationship patterns that may seem bewildering or intense now, but with an open and patient perspective, I give you the space to validate, reframe and shift those patterns that no longer serve you. Ultimately, your willingness to meet any challenge or aspiration is a profound act of self-reflection rooted in courage that ripples out into how you live, relate and create in the world.

We work with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside, yet feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or internally conflicted on the inside. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relational patterns, emotional reactivity or numbness, identity confusion, or the long-term effects of developmental or relational trauma.
Often, they’ve already tried to “think their way out” of their struggles. They understand themselves intellectually, but still feel stuck in their body, nervous system, or relationships. They may feel exhausted from holding it together, people-pleasing, or over-functioning.

I specialize in working with the 2slgbtqia+ and consensual non-monogamy communities. I also have a special interest in working with people in relationships as well as the kink community.

One of the most exciting aspects of life is that it is always changing, yet this can also be one of our biggest challenges. Life's transitional moments can be difficult as they can cause stress, uncertainty and confusion and can often lead to feelings of grief and loss. It can make us question ourselves and others and may overwhelm us into inaction. The picture of what we had expected our future to look like changes and we are left with a variety of emotions and no plan forward. I believe that having someone to talk to through these tough times is so helpful. I am grateful to be that person for my clients.

Do you wonder if you’re the only one around who experiences the world with the intensity you do? Depending on how stressed you are, it may feel like you’re on alert or like you’re living in a soundproof glass box, cut off from others. You may have a hard time focusing on conversations with co-workers and family. You might have been told you’re "oversensitive" or have "no filter.". You may be feeling frustrated with yourself for not being able to get things together and just move forward, but the pandemic has made everything harder, and it feels like there are always too many moving parts. You want for a space to talk this through.
