Bilingual talk therapist and sound healer helping you reduce stress, build resilience, and activate your own healing.

About

I am a bilingual registered psychotherapist and certified sound therapy practitioner working with clients in English and Spanish. I am passionate about integrating talk therapy with sound therapy and other somatic practices to help you reduce stress and activate your own healing capabilities for enhanced mental health and wellbeing. I see clients in person at two Toronto locations and online across Ontario.

I work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, chronic pain, stress, PTSD, relationship issues, substance misuse, career development, acculturation, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in a holistic foundation that emphasizes listening to and understanding the whole person, including the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of your wellbeing. I draw on multiple evidence-based modalities, including CBT, somatic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused brief therapy, and emotionally focused techniques, to offer a tailored path forward that fits your specific goals and preferences.

I believe you are your own best expert. My role is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore what matters to you, cultivate resilience, and live a more empowered life. I combine traditional talk therapy with the harmonizing effects of sound and vibration on the mind and body, and I also offer group sound bath and vocal toning workshops through my Tune In Thursdays series.

Whether you are navigating an acute life stressor, working through long-standing concerns, or seeking support along your personal growth journey, I would love to connect. Reach out for a free 15-minute introductory consultation so we can get to know each other and explore how I can support you.
