"The thought of beginning therapy may feel a bit scary. After all, it is a process that asks you to look at and confront many parts of yourself that you might find difficult. You might feel a bit stuck in some areas of your life, you find that you are repeating the same mistakes, and know that it is time to make a change, but you feel a bit lost and overwhelmed because you don't exactly know how. The great news is; you don't have to do it alone."

"I am a psychologist, member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ) since 2005. I completed my training at McGill University and specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing personal difficulties that interfere with their lives. I assist these individuals in identifying, assessing, and resolving concerns, which may be affecting their social, professional, academic, and/or emotional growth. Among the concerns commonly presented are low self-esteem, symptoms of stress, relationship or family issues, as well as feelings of anxiety and depression."

Together we can build a system that promotes wellness, healthy relationships and autonomy in all areas of your life!"

Combining talk therapy with elements of mindfulness and artistic expression, I aim to create a warm, non-threatening environment in which children, adolescents and adults can explore and communicate their thoughts and feelings."

Engaging in therapy with me involves warmth and empathy, which allows my clients to freely express, and understand, their experience.

"Counseling is a process of self-exploration and healing. The objectives are to increase one's happiness and to create a nurturing social and personal environment. Although it can be a difficult process, the emotional rewards can be life-changing. If you already know what you would like to be different, together we can make a plan to achieve your goals. If you know you need something to change but are not sure what, how, or perhaps even why, we can work together to figure it out. Our sessions would assist you through the difficulties and bumps in the road."
