Looking for a deeper exploration of what keeps you stuck or in a repeated pattern? Developmental trauma / trauma affecting your ability to engage in life and with others? Anxiety & depression make it hard to regulate? Struggling in your relationship or family relationships? Would you and your partner like to feel closer and better connected? Do you find yourselves having the same fight repeatedly? Would you would like to improve communication and intimacy? My goal is to go beyond tools to free yourself from the negative cycles of conflict and despair; where you will find a new way to experience yourself and your relationships.

Do you feel as if life is a constant struggle, like you are afraid and worried all the time, as if life is easy for everyone but you? Are you struggling with relationships, having problems at work, and feeling like your friends and family do not understand? I can help you to make meaningful changes towards a happier, healthier life. With more than a decade of counseling experience, I have helped clients who struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, phobias, depression, relationship issues, self esteem issues, parenting issues, and feelings of disappointment in their life or themselves.

Are you the parent of a spirited toddler and are struggling with frequent or intense tantrums? Are you worried that your child might hurt themselves when they are upset or that they might be struggling with anxiety? Are you feeling exhausted because everything seems to be a battle from getting dressed in the morning to bedtime? Are you finding yourself resorting to bribes and threats to get anything accomplished? Do you sometimes end up yelling when nothing else seems to work and are left feeling guilty?

Whether it's a new baby, the loss of a loved one, a betrayal, tension in relationships, or a recent relocation... sometimes we lose our footing. You may find that your usual coping tools are no longer bringing you the same relief. Unlike blogs and books that offer one-size-fits-all advice, or unlike your friends and family who mean well, but are too emotionally-invested to give you clear guidance, I offer you effective tools, unique to your needs and situation, in a non-judgmental and safe space. I’m a bilingual (English & French) somatic psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Quebec, Colorado and California.

At some point, we have all experienced stress, felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad or depressed. No one is immune to the common human struggles. Sometimes, we can get better on our own, but other times, we notice patterns that we have not been able to change, or issues start to overwhelm and negatively affect our lives, relationship, work or academic learning. The decision to seek therapy is a positive and courageous step to achieve psychological and emotional clarity in order to lead a more productive and satisfying life.

I want to help you live a more meaningful life where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Healthy, fulfilling and authentic relationships with ourselves & others are the key to wellbeing. Change is possible when we are willing and feel safe enough to explore ourselves, our relationships & the patterns that arise in those interactions. Using a warm, collaborative, strength-based, culturally sensitive & trauma sensitive approach, I aim to help you develop an increased understanding of yourself & deepen a sense of connection in your most meaningful relationships.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Are you are tired of struggling and want to start living? Are you stuck in addictive behaviours or repeating the same self-defeating patterns? Do your relationships feel out of control? Is your home a place of love and comfort or a war zone? Do you worry endlessly? Do you "have everything" but still feel unhappy? If your answer is "yes", I might be the right guide for you to provide you with tools for growth and coaching on rescuing failing relationships. For 20+years I have been helping adults, teens,couples and families find pathways to more satisfying lives.

When people feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, they can feel stuck— unable to move forward. They are often so sad and anxious that they no longer enjoy the things they once did. I help people facing major life transitions clarify their issues, make important decisions and make the changes that are needed for them to get "unstuck" and live happier lives. I help people understand themselves better and make the changes they need to feel better. If you are dealing with difficult feelings, conflictual relationships, career indecision or questioning your sexuality or gender identity, I can help.

Are you struggling to connect with those around you? Perhaps feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted? In our work together, I will provide a supportive and empathetic space where we can explore the underlying factors contributing to your difficulty finding joy, connecting with others, and managing emotional overwhelm. Together, we'll work on developing coping strategies, identifying and addressing underlying issues, and fostering a deeper understanding of yourself. My style can be described as relaxed, intuitive and compassionate.

My approach to therapy is evidence-based, interactive, relational, & motivational. As I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is what is most healing & helpful in therapy, I strive to create a comfortable & supportive atmosphere where difficult issues can be addressed. When people feel supported & understood; they are often more able to face challenges. I also help clients become more aware of the obstacles which prevent them from leading more satisfying lives & improving their relationships. Sometimes that may involve exploring past experiences and/or it may involve learning new concrete coping skills
