Hola hola! If you notice a slight accent when I speak, it’s because I was born and raised in Mexico. What was meant to be a short 3-month visit to Canada turned into a 20-year adventure. My parents raised me to be independent which is what helped foster my love of trying new things. I love all things related to healthy living and I particularly love moving my body…walking, swimming, biking and working out.
I try my best to show my kids Sage and Henri how to lead a healthy lifestyle. After a lot of hard work, passion and studying, I became an ACE certified Personal Trainer, a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Precision Nutrition Certified Coach. I absolutely LOVE making workouts functional, engaging and fun! I am naturally good at motivating people. I want to help you improve your posture, and strengthen your bodies so that you can maximize your chiropractic care and enhance your lives. I know I can help you make the appropriate changes that will be beneficial to truly being “your best version”. Whether you like to work out individually, as a group, in person or via online, I got you covered.
Contact me at the office so we can chat and make sure we both align with your goals.
It’s never too late to get started!
Let’s do this.

Therapy Perspective
I’m a therapist who sees the WHOLE picture when I work with people. I understand the
connection between our emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health, and I work with all
of these parts wholistically when I work with you.
I’m interested in understanding the root
causes of your problems to help you make meaningful changes in your life.
My educational background is in Social Work (BSW from Western, MSW from McGill), and I
practice as a licensed clinical therapist in Toronto, and virtually across Ontario.
Although I was raised and educated within the Western system, I am actively learning about the powerful ways that Indigenous knowledge can help us to heal. I am greatly aware of the impacts of
colonization on our society and on our healthcare system, and I do my best to practice in decolonized ways to help better support the healing of everyone in our world.
Populations Served
I support people of all ages who are dealing with any of life’s challenges. Reach out for a free
20-minute consultation to see if we might be a good match for your therapeutic journey!
I work most with adolescents to help them develop positive pathways towards their future,
especially as young people today are faced with growing problems related to self-esteem,
healthy communication, and anxiety. I offer support to youth and to their caregivers to help
develop confident young adults, which will help grow a healthier society.
I also work with adults who are interested in examining themselves and their histories to grow
into their best selves. All of my work is trauma-focused, as we are all shaped by our experiences. Understanding our histories will help us to understand ourselves and improve our
wellbeing.
Areas of Specialization
I have significant experience working with sexual violence through support of both survivors
and perpetrators of harm. I am passionate about sexual abuse prevention by educating people
on consent and by helping to repair relationships after harm has occurred.
Additionally, I am working to reconcile the harm that has been done to the Indigenous Peoples
across Turtle Island through colonization, genocide, and ongoing abuse; and therefore I am
passionate about empowering Indigenous knowledge and helping communities to heal from
trauma through cultural reengagement.
More about me
Outside of my work as a therapist, I am also a candlemaker and a Muay Thai fighter! I would
love to share the way these two interests have benefitted me, and these practices can be
incorporated into our therapeutic work together.
Whether you want to learn martial arts to
build confidence or strength, or you want to ignite your creative side through candle making, I
am happy to blend either of these skills into our work together.
Rates
My fees range from $100-190/hour, based on a “pay what you can afford” model. If $190/hour
is feasible for you, a portion of your rate will help me to offer a subsidized rate to others. My suggested rate for hourly therapy is $150 for those who have a steady income but limited insurance.
Please let me know what rate feels more affordable and would allow you to attend therapy as
regularly as you need. If $100/hour for therapy is inaccessible to you, please contact me as I
may be able to offer lower cost therapy.
