Therapists in H4C

I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and a Psychologist in the Centre for CBT Research, Training, and Intervention of the McGill University Health Centre. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders (e.g., panic attacks, social anxiety, worry, phobias, health anxiety), obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, perfectionism, insomnia, hoarding, repetitive behaviours (e.g., tics, hair-pulling, skin-picking), stress, and relationship/self-esteem issues.

As a clinical social worker with 11+ years of experience working with adolescents, adults & couples managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem & relationship issues, I believe in empowering people through a person-centered and collaborative approach. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies and a strengths-based process to trigger goal-oriented actions. During each personalized session, I use a multitude of therapeutic models in order to serve my clients needs individually.

If you struggle with never feeling good enough, perfectionism, or frequent burnout from people pleasing, you’re not alone. Maybe you grew up playing a role in your family that you’re trying to grow out of, but find yourself stuck, repeating old patterns as an adult. I’m here to help. Some things we may explore include: bottled up feelings or unmet needs, what motivates you to behave or think in certain ways, setting effective boundaries, and letting go of what no longer serves you. This work makes it possible for you to heal old wounds, end painful cycles, enjoy more satisfying relationships, and make way for your authentic self.

I am a psychologist, member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ) since 2005. I completed my training at McGill University and specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing personal difficulties that interfere with their lives. I help these individuals in identifying, assessing, and resolving concerns, which may be affecting their personal, professional, academic, and/or emotional growth. Among the concerns commonly presented are low self-esteem, stress, relationship or family issues, identity issues, burn-out from work, difficult life transitions, as well as over-riding feelings of anxiety and depression.

My aim is to guide my clients towards understanding and acceptance of (being with) their emotional experience so that they feel complete, free and more connected to others. Engaging in therapy with me involves warmth and empathy, which allows my clients to freely express, and understand, their experience. I validate the experience of my clients so that they genuinely begin feel well with who they are. I use empirically supported treatments that treat difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, and fear (Emotion Focused Therapy) or problematic thinking patterns related to anxiety/depression (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).

Are you feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed? I believe it is important for you to feel comfortable with a therapist who can listen well to you in a caring, nonjudgmental way. My style is respectful, empathic and collaborative in order to help you better understand yourself. I am a licenced clinical psychologist with more than 17 years of experience. I work with individuals and adolescents who have problems such as depression, anxiety, loss and mourning, addiction, self-esteem and relationship problems. I can help you feel better about yourself, experience more intimacy in your relationships and leave the past behind.

A type of therapy beyond speech ... Whether it is to express emotions, regain power over your life or find tools for personal growth, which differentiates drama therapy from other forms of "psycho-therapy which are generally focused on speech "is that in dramatherapy, in addition to using words, we also use expressive tools that can pass through the whole body: projective techniques, bodily movements, breathing and mindfulness exercises, creation of rituals, creation of stories, improvisations, theory and method of roles, etc. The exploration process become therapeutic in itself.

I am a bilingual psychotherapist with over 30 years experience, practicing near downtown Montreal.

I am also experienced in bereavement (grief) therapy.

I am a licensed psychologist working with adult clients in individual therapy. I have worked with a wide range of clients in my practice and use a collaborative and strength based approach that includes CBT, humanistic, and solution focused modalities.

I actively contribute to the discipline and study of psychology through graduate level teaching and scholarly publications that have focused on issues of acculturation, cultural identity and cross-cultural transitions.
