Therapists in B2V
Hello, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I’m a clinical psychologist (candidate register) of Quebec and Haitian ancestry. I work with adults who are navigating depression, the "what-if" spirals of anxiety and phobias, or the exhausting loops of OCD. I also work with those who are finding their relationships with others difficult or are simply burnt out from the pressure of keeping it all together. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place! I can provide therapy in English and French. Beyond therapy, I provide diagnostic assessments for learning disorders, ADHD, and general psychological functioning.

Have you ever felt lost or overwhelmed, especially in your relationship with yourself or others, but couldn’t quite understand why? Often, the patterns that leave us feeling unhappy or disconnected are rooted in unhealed trauma that hasn’t been fully processed or addressed. I take a holistic and non-pathologizing approach that focuses on uncovering the root causes of your distress. I believe that anxiety, depression, and other common diagnoses are not indications that something is “wrong” with you. Instead, they are often wise, protective responses from a body and nervous system that have experienced stress or threat.

Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.

I'm here to help. Life has many challenges with all the emotion, even fears and worries that come with them. Navigating through stress, anxiety or low mood is something we all do at one time or another, but sometimes it helps to have some assistance in that process. Our goal in therapy is to improve your coping skills and overall well-being. With that, I am a firm believer in the need for an individualized journey in therapy as opposed to a one-size fits all cookbook approach. This is about you and your life. It's deeper than some technique or strategy. Therapy is founded on the relationship we build and the dynamics of it.

Your path of healing is a unique journey that can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times hopeless. Whether you are experiencing a major life transition that has turned everything upside down, are grieving the loss of a loved one, in active recovery from a significant trauma, or simply feel a deeper call to access a more authentic expression of who you are, I’m here to help. I’ve supported veterans, first responders, and front line health workers navigate their recovery from trauma, burn out, and moral injury, which has inspired my approach to trust in each person’s capacity for resilience.

I'm a queer, femme therapist. I work with with adult individuals of all genders to heal anxiety and relationship issues, explore 2SLGBTQ+ identity, navigate ethical non-monogamy, and cultivate self-worth. The people I work with tend to be caring, thoughtful and love to show up for others, but may struggle to identify their own wants and needs. They often don't know how to name their own feelings or express them to others, and can find setting boundaries daunting. They come to therapy looking for a space where they can be supported without feeling judged, and where they can find more clarity, self-compassion, and authenticity.

You may face sadness, worry, repetitive thoughts, following experiences that are tough to talk about, violence and trauma resulting in numbness, isolation.

You don't have to have it all figured out before coming to therapy. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of your experiences, you don't have to carry it alone. I work with youth (14+) and adults navigating trauma, depression, identity, sexuality, and overwhelming emotions. My approach is person-centered and emotion-focused, but what matters most is that I show up as a human first: curious, genuine, and without judgment.

It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child, who is usually wise beyond their years, becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting makes it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those worst moments, leaving you feeling unsure of what will help.
