About David

Their own words

As a second-generation Portuguese Canadian and queer therapist, I understand the complexity of navigating one’s identity within systems and stories that often fail to capture the fullness of our experiences. My own journey of making meaning of my identities through a decolonial lens has shaped how I approach healing, connection, and self-understanding. If you are someone who is exploring your identity, navigating cultural or family expectations, processing experiences of marginalization, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself within the context of your relationships, community, and lived experiences, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to support healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change. Together, we create a space for curiosity, reflection, and self-compassion, honouring both the challenges and strengths that have shaped your story. My approach is grounded in anti-oppressive, decolonial, and person-centred practices. I strive to cultivate a therapeutic relationship built on warmth, curiosity, collaboration, and humour, recognizing that healing does not have to happen in isolation. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and work alongside them to explore new perspectives, deepen self-understanding, and move towards meaningful change. I believe healing involves reconnecting with ourselves in ways that feel authentic, empowering, liberating, and aligned with our values.

“A free phone therapy consultation is a gentle first step toward getting the support you need. It’s a chance for us to connect, for you to share a little about what’s been on your mind, and for me to explain how I might be able to help. It’s completely free and no-pressure—just a friendly conversation to see if we’re a good fit for working together. My goal is to make you feel heard, comfortable, and confident about your next steps in your journey toward healing and growth. Sometimes it’s difficult to think of what questions to ask a therapist in a free phone consultation, especially if you’re feeling nervous or unsure about what to expect. It’s completely okay to not know where to start—this is a new experience for many people. Here are some suggestions: What should I expect during a typical session? What is your experience working with issues like mine? How do you address misunderstandings? How do you address intersectionality in your practice? What steps do you take to ensure your practice is inclusive and affirming? How do you tailor therapy to meet individual needs? What do you think is most important for building a good therapist-client relationship? What would progress look like in therapy and how would we measure it? What is your availability? Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?”
