Hi, my name is Benoit. Navigating relationship dynamics can feel confusing and downright terrifying. If you have trouble feeling connected, seen and heard, and are missing a sense of belonging, I can help you cultivate new ways of maintaining healthier dynamics with others. This begins with relating to yourself and developing self-trust. We will learn the power of authenticity, boundaries, and vulnerability. I will support you to manage stressful situations, to gain clarity of your life, and to find your place in this vast world. I will help you recognize that you are never alone and that life can be full of joy and wonder!
I will help you bolster your ability to relate with (and love) yourself and others. I will empower you to LISTEN: to your inner guidance and to others' communication, so you can engage and express yourself more clearly and to feel seen, heard, and more deeply connected. You will feel more confident and courageous to live your best life!
I was addicted to video games so I use my love of myth, symbolism, and imagination to create a more fulfilling life. I love animals and children, and can help support you in those relationships as well. Please reach out if any of this resonates with you. I work intuitively with your curiosity and unique constitution. Thanks for taking care of yourself.

Please let me know if you have questions about payment, I want to make this service accessible for you. It's always good to ask your insurance company directly if they can cover costs for therapy. You deserve it! It can be fruitful to ask your insurance provider to cover session costs with an RTC.

Benoit's greatest strength is his presence. Rarely have I felt so deeply seen, heard, and understood as I do when working with him. He brings a genuine, grounded care to everyone he supports, creating a space that feels both safe and deeply attuned.
