Authentic communication means knowing yourself, your needs, boundaries and patterns, and expressing them responsibly and with love. People who see me want to see how their repetitive, harmful patterns have held them back from getting their needs met. Together, working on self-esteem, relationships, patterns, and communication skills can lead to lasting change in your life. You have the capacity to grow, to heal from whatever may be holding you back and to connect with your happiest self simply by truly being You. Self-acceptance, love and taking responsibility for yourself and your needs allow you to be HAPPY.

Montréal, QC H4C
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 help these individuals in identifying, assessing, and resolving concerns, which may be affecting their personal, professional, academic, and/or emotional growth. Among the concerns commonly presented are low self-esteem, stress, relationship or family issues, identity issues, burn-out from work, difficult life transitions, as well as over-riding feelings of anxiety and depression.

Humanistic Counsellors
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualisation and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
