Towards inner safety, deeper connection
& Authenticity
Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finding inner safety and greater freedom within to be who you are.
Welcome, I am Angiela
I am a Registered Psychotherapist, trauma-informed somatic therapist, and yoga teacher with over 25 years of clinical experience.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief and loss, burnout, sexuality, spirituality, life transitions, questions of meaning and purpose, and racial and gender identity.
My background includes a decade specializing in addictions, along with extensive training in trauma-informed psychotherapy, including TIST and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and 18 years of personal and professional training in mindfulness meditation, yoga, and somatic healing.
I offer a space for healing that honours the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, while honouring your own wisdom, resilience, and capacity for growth.
I offer virtual trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults in Toronto and across Ontario.
Sometimes living in patterns that no longer serve us can feel like constantly staying alert, feeling stuck or immobilized, caring for others first, or losing touch with what you need.
There is nothing wrong with you.
These patterns developed for a reason.
Healing is often less about becoming someone new and more about rediscovering who you already are.
THE STORIES WE CARRY
Each person’s life is shaped by experiences, relationships, and the ways they learned to navigate the world.
Within these experiences there is often a quiet poetry — threads of resilience, protection, and longing that have helped guide you through life’s challenges.
When explored with curiosity and compassion, these experiences can begin to reveal their meaning. What once felt confusing or overwhelming may begin to make more sense, creating space for healing and new possibilities.
How Therapy Helps
Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
Together, we will slow things down and explore what is happening with curiosity and compassion—your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and what you notice in your body.
As you develop greater awareness, you can begin to respond in new ways, with more freedom and choice.
WHAT YOU MAY BEGIN TO NOTICE
You may have come to therapy feeling anxious or overwhelmed, caught in survival patterns that leave you feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself.
Over time, you may begin to notice:
• Greater ease and steadiness within yourself
• More freedom and choice in how you respond
• Practical skills and greater capacity to navigate emotional overwhelm
• Greater self-compassion and trust in yourself
• Clearer boundaries in your relationships
• Deeper connection with yourself and others
Change is possible. You are more than the patterns that helped you survive.
