EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking approach in the field of mental health treatment. This evidence-based psychological intervention has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating various mental health conditions, particularly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

At its core, EMDR therapy utilizes bilateral stimulation techniques to help patients process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This innovative trauma treatment method has shown remarkable success in alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders.

One of the key advantages of EMDR is its efficiency. Many patients experience significant improvement in fewer sessions compared to traditional talk therapies, making it a time-efficient treatment option. This rapid therapy results in quicker relief for those struggling with mental health challenges.

EMDR therapy's versatility extends beyond trauma resolution. It has proven beneficial for various psychological issues, including:

Anxiety treatment
Depression relief
Phobia management
Panic disorder therapy
Eating disorder intervention

The therapy's holistic mental health approach addresses both psychological and physiological aspects of mental well-being. By promoting neuroplasticity and adaptive information processing, EMDR helps rewire the brain's response to traumatic memories and stressful situations.

Another significant benefit of EMDR is its minimal reliance on verbal expression. Unlike traditional talk therapies, patients undergoing EMDR don't need to extensively articulate their experiences, making it an excellent option for those who struggle to verbalize their trauma.

The importance of EMDR in the mental health field is further underscored by its recognition from major health organizations. Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) acknowledge EMDR as an effective PTSD therapy.

As research continues to support its efficacy, EMDR remains at the forefront of psychological healing techniques. Its potential for long-lasting effects and reduced medication reliance makes it a valuable tool in the arsenal of mental health professionals worldwide.

EMDR therapy offers a powerful, evidence-based approach to mental health treatment. Its ability to provide rapid, effective relief for various psychological issues, coupled with its holistic and adaptable nature, positions EMDR as a crucial component in the ongoing effort to improve mental health outcomes globally.

It happens to anyone and everyone where their unspoken thoughts, untamed emotions and obscure wounds become much harder to carry alone. Therapy is the light that leads you back to yourself, when the past follows you and future seems left uncertain. It is not about healing It is about becoming. A person becoming someone who owns their story, grateful for their existence and shine despite the darkness they have overcome. Together we will untangle the knots of past, quite the fears that restrain you and discover the strengths that was always within you. You will learn, its ok to be authentically and fearlessly you. Your challenges do not define you. But challenging your challenges is bound to take you somewhere. Let’s create a space where you can breathe, heal, and take back control. A space where you no longer just survive but thrive. The journey is yours, but you don’t have to walk it alone. Together we can take the first step.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in compassion and trust. My goal is to create a supportive and inclusive space where you can feel safe enough and comfortable to explore your personal experiences and work toward healing and self-discovery.

My journey into psychotherapy began in the Philippines, where I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology, which provided a solid foundation for my practice. Since moving to Canada, I have been fortunate to work with people from diverse cultural, racial, sexual, and economic backgrounds. Through this work and continued self-inquiry, I have deepened my understanding of how these intersectionalities impact a person’s experiences and well-being. I believe my lived experience and background enrich what I offer in therapy.

People often seek therapy because their old ways of coping with life are no longer working. There is an inner knowing that something is not quite right and that we are not fully living. I have found in many years of clinical practice, study and inner work that we all have significant blind spots that keep us trapped in old behaviours, moods, and relationship patterns. Many of us have outdated views of ourselves, created in early life, that are limiting and distorted. Our symptoms, patterns and compulsions have been our best attempts to cope however have created blocks to truly feeling alive and connected. Therapy can be a place to process and understand how past life events and relationships are showing up in the here and now. Therapy can also be a space to allow yourself to get really honest about your feelings, suffering or those parts of yourself and life that feel hard to face alone. These huge tasks require a skilled therapist to help you gain insight and shine a light on those hidden factors that are preventing you from living in accordance with your own unique nature. I have a lifelong dedication to this work and I bring this humility, wisdom and openness to my practice.

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us.” D. Richio.

I believe all people have the strength and resilience to overcome life’s challenges and can benefit from exploring these aspects of themselves in a compassionate, curious, and supportive environment. I believe you are the expert of your experience. Every person has, within themselves, the capacity to compose the story of their life.

In individual therapy, I work with adults who are experiencing difficulties related to anxiety, stress, depression, negative emotions, emotion regulation, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, parenting, life transitions, work-life balance, stress, parenting, and self-development. 

In our sessions, my goal is to support you to live the life you want to live and become the person you want to become. As a therapist, I value authenticity, connection, and compassion, so it’s important that we can create a space where you feel you can be yourself, without judgment, as we work together to identify, clarify, and ultimately achieve your goals. We will also complete a comprehensive, scientific-based assessment for you to gain a better understanding of your struggles and their origins.

Primarily, I practice Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT). I also apply elements of Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness-based approaches when appropriate. Using a trauma-informed and collaborative approach, we will work explore your values, priorities, and strengths to figure out how we can integrate them into your healing journey. I adopt a flexible approach to meet clients’ individual needs and treatment goals and am able to offer sessions in English and Hindi.

As a European native raised in an anti-racist household and embracing influences from Spanish, Middle Eastern, and Asian cultures, I was immersed in the diverse landscape of the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. My journey in psychology began at an early age, marked by a natural affinity for the subject. Drawing from a rich background spanning over a decade in the public sector, I transitioned to private practice, as a Registered Psychotherapist (R.P.) with the CRPO, a Master in Counselling Psychology (M.A.C.P.) and a Registered Social Service Worker (R.S.S.W.) with the OCSWSSW, an EMDR Certified Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant.

At the heart of my therapeutic approach lies a foundation of bottom-up methodology, specializing in the nuanced processing of traumatic experiences. I leverage leading-edge techniques, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside other somatic methods like Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) to facilitate in a gentle release of shock and/or pain stemming from various forms of trauma. From my own experience, I can personally attest to the transformative power of both EMDR and DBR therapies. Having undergone these distinct yet complementary approaches, I have witnessed their profound effectiveness in facilitating deep healing and lasting relief. EMDR and DBR, as separate client-centered therapies, not only supported my healing journey but also continue to empower me to thrive.

My primary mission is to empower clients to achieve their full potential in the social, biological, psychological, and spiritual aspects of their lives. The transformative potential of empowering individuals can spark a ripple effect of holistic wellbeing, enriching global communities with enhanced quality of life.

I draw a profound fulfillment from collaborating with others to achieve their life goals, experiencing deep personal and professional satisfaction from witnessing their growth and success. My belief in supporting others to reach their potential is not just a privilege but the most fulfilling aspect of my work, surpassing what one might experience in any other profession.
