Pronouns: she/her
Stepping into therapy is an act of courage, and choosing the right therapist is a significant part of that journey. My practice is deeply rooted in being client-centered, meaning your unique experiences, goals, and values are at the heart of our work.
I'm committed to an anti-oppressive practice, informed by my lived experience as a Latina and first-generation Canadian navigating diverse cultures and systemic pressures. For those who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in their first language, hablo español.
Outside of therapy, I find joy in exploring different cultures through their food and connecting with my body through yoga, dance, and pilates.
My Journey
My path to becoming a therapist is deeply rooted in my own experiences of navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and finding meaning in life transitions. I believe that our personal stories shape how we understand and help others.
My professional journey took a winding road, starting in the dynamic world of marketing and digital health; however, a profound calling to connect with individuals on a deeper level ultimately led me to pursue my passion for psychotherapy.
As someone who has lived between cultures, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing different worlds, managing family dynamics, and creating an authentic life that honours both heritage and personal values.
I completed my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, with training in culturally responsive therapy, somatic-informed care, and integrative therapeutic approaches. I'm committed to ongoing education and growth, both professionally and personally.
What I bring to our sessions isn't just my formal education, but my lived experience, cultural sensitivity, and a deep commitment to creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore all parts of yourself.
