Have you ever felt like you are carrying too much emotionally and relationally, and you are not sure where to begin? Are you feeling unsure how to calm your racing thoughts? Are you and your partner stuck in cycles of conflict or silence? Do you find yourself withdrawing or questioning your worth? These are the kinds of questions we can explore together, approaching them with curiosity and compassion. With these guiding principles in mind, we can develop a plan. Whether you are struggling with something that keeps you up at night, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or lacking the energy to do any activity, always remember, you are not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out alone. Support is here for you.

​

I am an international psychologist, registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP), the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP), and the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology (NASAP). I have over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health, having practiced in Colombia, the United States, and Canada.

​

I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families in finding clarity, healing, and renewed strength. My approach is grounded in empathy, clinical experience, and a deep respect for each unique story. I have accompanied clients through life's most difficult moments, including grief, trauma, relationship breakdowns, and emotional overload, and i have seen firsthand how change is possible when one feels truly understood and supported. I also have valuable experience working as a psychometrician, conducting assessments for MVA, WSIB, and forensic clients.

​

My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, EFFT, psychodynamic therapy, family systems therapy, and Adlerian therapy. However, what matters most is how these tools are tailored to fit you. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a collaborative space where you can explore what’s working, what’s hurting, and what’s next. I also offers services in Spanish, and I´am passionate about creating a culturally sensitive space for all clients.​

​

If you’re ready to take the first step, I invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s talk about what’s been weighing on you—and how we can begin to lighten the load.

More about Leidy

I recharge by dancing and spending time with loved ones, reminding myself, just as I remind my clients, that joy and connection are also essential to healing.
