Angel is a compassionate and dedicated Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who brings a creative and empathetic approach to her practice. She holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology from York University and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology with Distinction from Yorkville University. Additionally, Angel is a certified classical pianist through the Royal Conservatory of Music, and incorporates creative elements like art, music, and play into her therapeutic work with children and youth.
Angel specializes in supporting children and youth aged 4 to 21, and helps them navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, or simply providing a safe space to talk. She creates a comfortable and friendly environment where her clients feel empowered to express their thoughts and emotions freely. Angel is dedicated to each child’s emotional healing and growth and equips children with the tools and skills needed to not only build confidence during sessions but also thrive beyond them.
Angel’s integrative therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, narrative techniques, and person-centered practices. She tailors each session to meet the unique needs and goals of her clients, ensuring every child’s journey is personalized. Angel collaborates closely with each child’s family, develops treatment plans that align with the child’s development and aspirations and fosters resilience and emotional well-being in her practice.
Angel’s path to psychotherapy is inspired by her experiences of being raised with a sister who is autistic and non-verbal. They shared a close bond growing up, and Angel accompanied her sister to therapy sessions as a child. This deeply shaped Angel’s understanding of the therapeutic process and the profound privilege of guiding children and youth as they grow, heal, and reach their full potential in a supportive and nurturing environment.
