Do you have intentions that you want to transform into reality in your life? Welcome to the Intention Lab Counselling: a safe place to explore how to live a life more aligned with your intentions, and to create a more loving connection with yourself and others.  Here, you will be able to tap into your own inner healer, so that love and pleasure can lead you into personal and relational growth.

I am located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and offer virtual sessions (English and Spanish). I offer sex therapy, psychedelic preparation/integration, couples therapy and individual therapy (anxiety, depression, trauma, among others).

People tend to describe me as curious, compassionate and lively/bubbly, and I try to show up as myself -a fellow human- during our therapy sessions. I identify as an integrative therapist, which means I combine ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools of thought in order to tailor our sessions to your needs. The human experience is so rich and complex that there is no such a thing as a one-size-fits-all approach. I place a lot of importance on bringing our awareness to the present moment, and listening to our bodies and emotions as a way of receiving messages that can give us clues on how to move forward. For that same reason, all symptoms and emotions are welcome — If we listen closely enough while practicing self-compassion, they might tell us just what we need.

My intention of our work together is that you will become more aware of yourself: Your wants, your needs, your thoughts, your emotions, and your body, which will make it easier to make decisions that are more aligned with your values and intentions. I will work collaboratively with you to support you in creating a life you desire, by moving closer to your goals.

If I had to choose one word to describe what I have learned is most important for our mental health, that word would be CONNECTION. Our connection to ourselves, our connection to others, and our connection with our environment is vital to have fulfilling lives and to feel safe to explore in this world.
