Soraya is a psychotherapist with a master's degree in counselling. In her private practice, she combines Compassionate Inquiry, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, and mindfulness practices, including Kundalini Yoga. She is also trained in psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy, which enables her to support clients during integration. Soraya approaches her work from a multicultural perspective, exploring how her clients' identities intersect and influence their experiences. Although she is originally from Brazil, Soraya has been living in Canada for over 20 years, bringing her BIPOC background into her sessions and incorporating teachings from her ancestors.
By observing her clients and the effects of trauma, Soraya has specialized in grief and works as a Grief Educator, creating a compassionate space where past and present pain can be deeply understood and cared for. These specializations allow her to tailor her approach to meet the unique needs of each client. For self-care, Soraya enjoys running, cycling, hiking, golfing and reading. She also values spending time with her husband, two stepdaughters, and her dog Benjamin on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish People. Soraya also works as a CI facilitator, CI mentor, CI Circles leader and CI Portuguese Program Director.

Soraya é mestra em psicologia com especialização na área do trauma, distúrbios alimentares e psicodélicos. Possui especialização em modalidades somáticas como Sistemas Familiares Internos (IFS), Dessensibilização e Reprocessamento pelo Movimento dos Olhos (EMDR), e Experiência Somática (em formação). Observando os seus clientes e os efeitos do trauma, também se especializou em luto (Grief Educator) com o intuito de desenvolver um espaço compassivo onde a dor do que aconteceu e também a dor do que não aconteceu possam ser compreendidas e profundamente cuidadas. Essas especializações a permite atuar com uma abordagem mais individualizada voltada para as necessidades únicas de cada cliente. Soraya é a Diretora do CI em Português

I welcome people from all cultures and experiences, ages, genders and sexuality, immigrants, refugees and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. As a BIPOC woman raised in Brazil, and a settler in Canada for over 20 years, and a trained psychotherapist, I bring to my practice and life a multicultural, compassionate lens, exploring with curiosity the influence of intersectionality in my clients’ lives. I am an avid student, always educating myself and advocating for marginalized communities.

My approach as a trauma psychotherapist is multi-layered, drawing from a range of modalities, including but not limited to: Compassionate Inquiry (CI), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices. I am also trained in psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy. This broad range of skills allows me to design the most individualized approach for each client’s unique needs.

I have a particular interest in trauma, anxiety, addictions, depression, eating disorders, grief, and psychedelic integration.
