Canadian Certified Counsellor
EnglishSpanishBeginning therapy and even searching for the right therapist can feel overwhelming. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a courageous first step toward healing and personal growth. I’m here to support you on that journey. As someone who has experienced the vulnerability of reaching out, I understand how nerve-wracking this can be. I offer counselling services in both English and Spanish to adolescents & adults (ages 16+), as well as couples seeking to strengthen their relationships.
