I am a Montreal counselor and psychotherapist with over 30 years experience in private practice. I help people to understand themselves better, improve their self-esteem, get rid of self-defeating patterns and develop more satisfying relationships. My approach emphasizes how you think and make choices in the here and now, so that you can change faulty or limiting beliefs and overcome discouragement. My personal style is open, direct and encouraging.

As a child psychologist my goal is to help children and families thrive at home and at school. I take a strengths-based approach to assessment and therapy. I specialize in providing comprehensive psycho-educational, developmental, and autism assessments that help children and adolescents gain access to vital resources to propel their self-confidence and academic success.

The philosophy and unique approach at Montreal Women's Psychology is to empower women to achieve their potential and lead fulfilling lives. I obtained an MBA and worked for many years in the business world while raising a family prior to returning to my passion of Psychology and helping others reach their goals. I gained first hand insights regarding the challenges faced by women today. I tailor therapy plans and life coaching to each woman, taking into consideration family dynamics, work environment, social, romantic, cultural, stage of life, and reproductive-related events.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Are you "Too Sensitive"? Psychotherapy and consultation for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and Gifted adults. High Sensitivity (HS) is a naturally occurring temperamental trait in 15-20% of the population. It is also a typical characteristic of gifted adults and children. In conjunction with Introversion, intuition, creativity and giftedness, heightened sensitivity creates unique life experiences and predictable stresses. Understanding, validating and managing sensitivity can reduce anxiety and depression, increase self-esteem, and moderate relationship difficulties, burnout and perfectionism.

Are you or your child/teen feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or burned out? Would you like to change unhealthy habits, improve your relationships, self-esteem, and communication skills? Are you having difficulty adapting to a new environment/life transition? Today's fast-paced society can be difficult to survive and thrive in, especially if you are juggling multiple roles or experiencing life transitions, such as changing careers or starting life in a new city/country. It can be scary to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who can speak your language and really connect with you.

People often seek therapy when they would like to work on issues such as stress management, personal loss or life cycle changes. In individual therapy, I support clients by providing specific strategies for changing unwanted behaviours or thoughts. A couple in distress may feel there is no way out of their troubled relationship. By observing the interactions between the partners I help couples change dysfunctional behaviours, strengthen friendship, increase intimacy, resolve problematic patterns of communication, improve emotional attachment, build resilience and enjoyment that each partner derives from the relationship.

I have been practising as a psychologist and specializing in couple and family therapy since 1995. What I find most fulfilling in my practice is helping individuals and couples create more safety and connection in their relationships by gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and how they relate to one another. Because one approach does not work with all couples, I have made it a point to be well versed in a variety of different approaches and techniques in order to tailor my work to the couple's specific needs.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and Coach who works with men and women who may be experiencing difficulties such as depression, stress, burn out and anxiety. As a trauma informed therapist I can work closely with you to uncover unresolved emotions and painful life events that may be blocking you from love, self expression and feeling that your needs are being met. I love supporting people to connect to their true emotions and body intelligence which will lead them to make choices that work best for themselves, their families and the world around them. You don't have to struggle alone!

As an experienced full time psychologist in practice for more than 20 years, my focus is on helping people deal with problems in personal and professional relationships, work related burnout or the many and varied life situations that face people from time to time causing depression, anxiety or emotional discomfort.

Life has lost its focus and feels heavy with the pressures that face you in a time of pandemic. It might be difficult to function at work or at home (these may all be the same place now). Perhaps you have lost your job. You want to be able to adjust to the new reality, but you wonder how to manage. In therapy, you get to explore your situation, your emotions, and your hopes for the future in a way that helps you to grow in happiness, wisdom, authenticity, resilience and compassion. Therapy is your place; it's where you can feel safe, understood and never judged. Navigate this difficult journey with the help of a skilled therapist.

For 20 years I have worked with adolescents, adults and couples facing difficult life stressors including relationship difficulties, separation, divorce, trauma, substance abuse, grief issues. My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of my clients. I work with clients in an empathic way which fosters self-awareness and positive change. I integrate resilience principles and insight oriented/interpersonal strategies with cognitive-behavioral therapy, to promote coping skills and build self esteem. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and grief.

I view psychotherapy as a journey of understanding and changing patterns that lead to emotional suffering. My goal is to accompany you in this journey, helping you make sense of your internal experiences, rekindle with your strengths, and explore new ways of being. I help adults struggling with emotional dysregulation, difficulties forming and maintaining relationships, and problems building connections with people. I also help individuals navigate challenging life transitions (grief, loss, separation, health issues).

I am a registered psychotherapist with a masters degree in Social work from Mcgill University, with over 15 years experience working in the health field.

We, as human beings, all face difficult times during our lives. These phases can leave us feeling out of control and isolated. The simple act of choosing change in your life can help you to feel empowered and on a path to a greater sense of well-being. As an integrative therapist (using cognitive behavioral, supportive, interpersonal and existential techniques), I will first help you to define your goals and then support you as you work towards achieving them. Using those techniques that best suit your particular needs and styles, we will effectively create a New Therapy tailored specifically for you.

Have you been feeling anxious or stressed about certain issues in your life, or maybe the uncertainty of your future? Do you ever feel alone and disconnected from the world, or that no one understands you? Whether your needs are related to mental health or everyday life-problems, I am here to offer help & hope, support & solutions.

No matter what problem you are facing, you do not have to do it alone. Life is wrought with ups and downs and my ultimate goal as a therapist is to help clients work through problems. I strive to help people find the tools they need to achieve the best possible outcomes allowing them to live their best lives. I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to put into words the exact nature of what is troubling you but I am confident that with dedication we will find a solution.

I am passionate about learning and helping people, which is why I became a clinical psychologist. It is important to me to bring to each of my clients a comprehensive understanding of their issues based on a combination of my training and clinical experiences and the latest research in the field. My approach is collaborative, informative and aims to teach people how to help themselves. I work with clients with eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, chronic pain and cardiovascular illness and have an expertise in the psychology of overeating, binge eating and obesity.

All of us have, at times, struggled to live our lives in a way that feels fulfilling. We can become stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, dreary feelings, and ineffectual behaviours. In the midst of the many challenges in life, having someone share part of the journey with you and help provide clarity can be enormously helpful. I am a psychologist with years of experience counselling individuals and supervising therapists-in-training. I have successfully treated a variety of needs and find meaning in working with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
