Hi, I’m Isabella
You might be the person others rely on. The one who keeps pushing through, overthinking every decision, and holding yourself to impossibly high standards. You might be feeling constantly on edge, internally exhausted, and questioning whether you’re doing enough. Or maybe you’re carrying a heaviness that makes you feel disconnected from yourself and others. I understand how frustrating it can be to feel stuck in distressing patterns while wanting things to change, but not knowing where to begin. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. I also work with students and individuals navigating perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, life transitions, and relationship stress.
Under supervision as a current Master of Psychotherapy student, my work draws on evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and somatic-based practices. Using an integrated approach, my aim is to help you begin taking steps towards adaptive coping mechanisms and healthier overall well-being by building on the strengths you already have. Together, we can explore patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships while building practical skills for daily life. My experience in fast-paced crisis settings, supporting individuals experiencing self-harm and suicidality, has shaped my calm, grounded, and compassionate presence during difficult moments.
I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you are used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and free of judgment, so you can show up as you are. I take a warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive approach, working at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for each client. I value understanding each person’s unique lived experience and approach this work with openness, curiosity, and respect.
If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if it feels like a good fit. As a student therapist, I also offer lower-cost and pro-bono therapy to help make support more accessible.
