Our Team

All our therapist interns are dedicated students from the Master of Psychospiritual Studies program, a CRPO recognized education program training in psychotherapy at Knox College. Each intern performs their clinical work under the careful guidance of designated supervisors who ensure adherence to the highest professional standards. Our supervision model is robust and compliant with the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care/Association canadienne de soins spirituels (CASC/ACSS) Code of Ethics and CRPO supervisory standards, guaranteeing that our interns not only receive exemplary training but also uphold strict ethical practices in their counseling.

Through this structured and closely monitored environment, our interns are able to develop their skills effectively while providing compassionate, competent care to our clients.

Sonya Dykstra

Sensing God’s nudging, I moved into the mental health sphere with a desire to journey alongside others as they seek wholeness and change in their lives. I believe we are all spiritual beings who are forging paths of meaning and fulfilment. I seek to understand my clients and their situation and I do my best to offer a listening presence. I am honoured when someone trusts me with their story and my hope and intention is that healing may happen through a trusted relationship and mutual respect.

Rosanna Lok

Rosanna chose to become a psycho-spiritual practitioner because she is drawn to listening and attending to the stories of past and present we all carry within us. Her goal in psycho-spiritual caregiving is to meet her clients wherever they are on their life's journey: in their relationships, identity, school/work, faith/beliefs, and together, explore what is working, what is challenging and the resources within themselves to effect meaningful change in their lives.

Rosanna previously completed a clinical psychospiritual education placement in the general surgery unit of a hospital in downtown Toronto. She is currently finishing her Master's of Psychospiritual Studies degree at Knox College.

Daniel Ruiz

As a mental health professional, Daniel Ruiz believes that everyone is intrinsically valuable and deserves to experience love and understanding. He aims to help individuals challenge the negative self-belief they have about themselves and help them process the challenges they have faced in their past. Whether working with individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety, grief, or loss of purpose, Daniel provides an empathetic and judgement free environment where individuals can experience acceptance and begin to heal. Daniel uses Person Centered Therapy and Narrative Therapy to support individuals in becoming individuals aware of the stories they tell about themselves and become empowered to reauthor these narratives.

Daniel can provide counselling in Spanish and English.

Ramuel Villardo

Ramuel Villardo has seven years of experience as a Pastoral and Spiritual Care Advisor at Covenant House Toronto, where he has walked alongside at-risk youth, including survivors of sex trafficking, through grief, trauma, and healing. His work has focused on creating spaces of compassion and empowerment, grounded in the belief that every person is beloved and worthy of peace, love, and joy in their lives.

At Knox Counselling Centre, Ramuel integrates his background in pastoral counselling and spiritual care with psychospiritual therapy. His approach is person-centred and strengths-based, drawing on solution-focused brief therapy, movement practices, and mindfulness to bring body, mind, and soul into harmony.

“Life is like a fight. Every round tests your body, your mind, and your soul. What I’ve learned, both in and out of the ring, is that healing comes when those three move together in harmony.” — Ramuel Villardo.

Star Yu

With over 20 years in higher education administration and a deep commitment to spiritual care, Star Yu integrates professional excellence with compassionate service. A Catholic convert, she has served in parish ministries and studied Thanatology and psychospiritual care. Her calling is to accompany others through grief, loss, and life transitions, offering emotional and spiritual support. Informed by her own transformative journey, she honors diverse beliefs and fosters healing through empathy and connection. Her approach combines unconditional acceptance with elements of Logotherapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support holistic, faith-integrated healing.
