Hi, I’m Angelica, a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and EMDR therapist.
I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, stress, and those navigating significant life transitions, trauma, and cultural complexities. I work closely with newcomers, first- and second-generation Canadians. Having lived in multiple countries, I have a deep understanding of the challenges of cultural adjustment and integration.
With training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I provide an effective method for processing trauma and reducing emotional distress. Along with narrative and solution-focused therapy, I help clients explore their stories, identify strengths, and develop practical tools for healing and growth.
My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive approach, because I believe in creating a space where everyone feels heard, supported, and valued.
As someone living with Type 1 diabetes, I bring a personal understanding of the challenges of managing chronic conditions. This experience shapes how I practice, offering a compassionate, empathetic perspective that helps my clients feel validated in their journeys.
I prioritize creating a welcoming environment. My office has an all-gender bathroom, is wheelchair accessible, and offers free parking, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable.
I also offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation, so you can ask questions and get a sense of whether we’re a good fit—no pressure, just a chance to connect and explore how I can support you! 🙂
