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! 🙂

Approach Description: My approach to therapy is rooted in a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive framework.

I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences, and collaborating to find the best path forward.
I usually integrate EMDR, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help you process past experiences, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools for healing and growth. My goal is to support you in building resilience, fostering self-compassion, and empowering you to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity.
Every person’s journey is different, and I’m committed to tailoring my approach to meet your specific needs, ensuring that you feel heard, supported, and valued throughout the therapeutic process.

With the option of sessions in both Italian and English, I specialize in working with adult individuals.
I offer virtual therapy sessions for those who prefer the flexibility and comfort of receiving care from home, as well as in-person therapy for clients in the Burlington area, ensuring that accessibility is never a barrier. In addition, I provide walk-and-talk therapy, an outdoor therapeutic option that encourages movement and reflection in a more relaxed, natural setting. This approach combines the benefits of being outdoors with the personal growth that therapy offers.
I integrate a range of evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, narrative therapy, and mindfulness to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, life transitions, or trauma, my goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change.
I am committed to making therapy accessible and affordable. In addition to offering a sliding scale for those who are under-insured or not insured, I provide direct billing to select insurance providers, such as e-Telus and Medavie Blue Cross. For clients whose insurance doesn’t support direct billing, I ensure a smooth reimbursement process by providing session receipts.
