I offer services in individual therapy for adults in English and French. My office is located in Plateau, Montreal. I can help with difficulties as varied as depression, anxiety, life transitions, burnout, existential issues (death, loneliness, meaning of life and life choices), relational difficulties, self-esteem and emotional regulation. I believe that suffering can become an opportunity to better know yourself as well as your needs that are not being met. I find this citation from Leonard Cohen particularly representative of my vision of psychotherapy ''There is crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.''

My philosophy is to accompany you and offer you a space to think about your difficulties or patterns in which you feel stuck, connecting with your emotions and experiment through therapy new ways of being. I emphasize the exploration and deepening of the emotional experience.

My main approach is humanist-existential, which means that I emphasize the therapeutic alliance as a vehicule for change. I also use the cognitive-behavioural approach. Overall, I use an evidence-based, integrative and flexible approach, adapting my interventions to the needs of each person.

Dans mon parcours professionnel, j'ai été éveillée à la souffrance des gens dans ses différentes formes. Toujours, j'ai observé cette constante, l'être humain qui cherche un sens à la vie et à la souffrance qu'elle comporte. Et avec cette recherche, celle d'un individu qui saura entendre cet appel et y répondre avec sollicitude. Si la souffrance est une épreuve à laquelle tout humain est confronté, elle peut aussi devenir une occasion de rencontre avec soi-même et de croissance. ''There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.'' (Leonard Cohen)

Plusieurs courants influencent ma pratique clinique, mais mon approche est principalement existentielle-humaniste. Je mets l’accent sur l’exploration de l'expérience émotionnelle et la relation thérapeutique pour aider mes clients à actualiser leur plein potentiel et résoudre les impasses qui les affectent.

Les premières rencontres sont consacrées à l’évaluation de vos difficultés, des motifs vous ayant amené à consulter ainsi que de vos objectifs dans le cadre de votre démarche en psychothérapie. Mon approche est non directive, mais interactive et collaborative. Je partage mes impressions et pistes cliniques pertinentes tout au fil du suivi.
