Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s transitions? Struggling to recognize the person you’ve become? Being a woman, a professional, and a mother is a profound and transformative experience—one that can stir up grief, identity shifts, and deep emotional challenges. Juggling multiple roles, facing cultural and societal expectations, and navigating it all without adequate support can leave you feeling depleted and disconnected.

As a mother, immigrant, and professional who has personally turned to therapy for support, I understand how complex this journey can be. You don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, process your experiences, and begin to reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll work to lighten the emotional load, build confidence, and rediscover moments of joy along the way.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Master ‘s-Level Counselling Psychology student practicing under clinical supervision. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate psychodynamic insights with a client-centered approach. With over 7 years of experience in the social services sector and a previous long career in law, my therapy is guided by an anti-oppressive lens, bringing deep respect for your individuality, resilience, and lived experiences.

If any of this speaks to you, I invite you to book a virtual 30-minute free consultation. I offer affordable rates, including low-cost and sliding-scale options. Let’s explore your story, work through what’s holding you back, and support your healing and growth—at your pace, in your way.

Services are available in both English and Portuguese.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”. (Carl Rogers)
