As a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers, I bring over 15 years of clinical experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families in both English and Spanish. My practice is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep appreciation for the resilience and strength that people show in the face of life’s challenges.

I began my clinical career in hospital and school settings in Uruguay, before continuing my work in Canada as a Clinical Social Worker. Over the years, I have supported clients from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences, helping them navigate issues such as divorce, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family conflict, abuse, and parenting challenges.

In addition to my general clinical work, I have developed a strong passion for supporting first responders and public safety professionals. I understand the unique emotional and psychological demands of their work — including repeated exposure to trauma, high stress environments, disrupted family dynamics, and the challenges of maintaining balance and mental wellness while serving others. My approach integrates trauma-informed, strengths-based, and solution-focused techniques to help first responders process difficult experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and supported as they work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. I am honoured by the trust clients place in me when sharing their stories of survival, transition, and recovery, and I am continually inspired by their courage and commitment to personal well-being.
