Narrative therapy is a compassionate and collaborative approach to counselling that views you as the expert of your own life. Rather than seeing you as the problem, it helps separate the problem from who you are and focuses on the strengths, values, and abilities you already have to help reduce its impact.

Narrative therapy isn’t about retelling every detail of your past — it’s about discovering your own ways of healing and reclaiming your story. Together, we work on strengthening your skills, knowledge, and support systems to process the effects of trauma and create meaningful tools for change and growth.

Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body and restore balance to your nervous system through safe, body-based healing. Our bodies carry personal, family, and ancestral stories that shape how we see ourselves and relate to the world. These patterns can surface as anxiety, grief, or challenges in relationships.

My approach is intuitive, collaborative, and grounded in trust. I follow your emotional, mental, and physical cues, always honouring that you are the expert of your own experience. Together, we create a supportive space where you can deepen connection with your body, navigate life transitions, and rediscover your inner resources.

I work in both Spanish and English, drawing on somatic practices, creative expression, and research-informed approaches as pathways for transformation. Many clients describe this work as gentle yet powerful—an opportunity for meaningful exploration and lasting healing.

Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful therapy that helps the body and mind release the effects of trauma, stress, and emotional or physical pain. Developed by David Grand, Ph.D., it works by locating and processing the deeper sources of distress held in the brain and nervous system—often beyond what we can easily put into words.

Using specific eye positions and sometimes Biolateral sound, Brainspotting helps access and heal experiences that may feel stuck or overwhelming. In our sessions, this process unfolds at your own pace, supporting regulation, integration, and lasting change.

Our minds and bodies carry the impact of past and present trauma. You may notice hyper-vigilance, avoidance of certain people or places, difficulty staying present, or struggles with trust, self-image, and overwhelming emotions. These responses are not because something is wrong with you—they are the effects of trauma.

Trauma does not exist in isolation. It is shaped by systemic oppression and structural violence. A trauma-informed practice recognizes how trauma affects individuals, families, and communities influencing how we think, feel, and engage with the world. Because racism, colonialism, ableism, and other forms of oppression compound harm, trauma-informed care must also be intersectional and anti-oppressive.

No two people experience the world the same way. Race, gender, class, disability, sexual orientation, immigration status, and other aspects of identity shape how violence is experienced and how support is accessed.

Grounded in intersectional feminism, my work is survivor-centered—I meet you where you are and honour your needs, choices, and agency. I also recognize that violence is upheld by systems, not just individuals. My commitment is to create a safe, anti-oppressive space where you are heard, believed, and supported with dignity.

I provide a supportive, therapeutic approach designed to help individuals who have experienced, witnessed, or engaged in abusive relationships. My primary goal is to promote safety, empowerment, healing and collaboration with individuals to regain control over their lives. I use an intersectional, feminist, anti-oppression and trauma-informed approach, offering risk assessment and safety planning. IPV counselling recognizes the profound emotional, and social impact of abuse and seeks to address both immediate needs and long-term healing.
