All of us struggle at some point with challenges in our lives. It’s normal. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. You may feel anxious or depressed. You may think that you are missing what’s important for you in terms of your cherished values. You may feel emotionally overwhelmed by work, relationships, or other life stressors.

As your therapist, my greatest priority is to create an accepting and compassionate space where you can feel safe to be yourself, exactly as you are. My wish is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, valued, and hopeful that change is possible. Together, we can gently unpack your burdens, and explore what is keeping you from living a more comfortable and fulfilling life. Should you be seeking deeper healing, we can integrate holistic, evidence-based trauma treatments (such as EMDR) into our work together in a manner that honours your pace/timing. Through collaboration, we can also find creative ways to build upon your strengths!

**ACCEPTE CLIENTS** Je pratique la thérapie individuelle, familiale et de couple en français et en anglais depuis 2018. Mes domaines de spécialisation comprennent, l'anxiété, la dépression, le stress, l'affirmation de soi, la confiance en soi, le deuil, les problèmes relationnels, la parentalité, les problèmes de dépendances aux drogues et à l'alcool, les craintes liés aux allergies et les transitions de vie. J'ai travaillé pendant 8 ans avec les enfants et les adultes atteints de troubles du spectre de l'autisme. Je sais donc reconnaître les besoins individuels, mais aussi ceux des couples et des familles entourant cette clientèle.

You’ve done it all, checked all the boxes, molded yourself according to external standards but still find yourself feeling alone, unappreciated, unsupported, and unloved. As a therapist, I work with individuals who feel disconnected from their true selves due to past trauma, relationship struggles, or emotional challenges. My clients come to me seeking not just temporary relief but lasting transformation. My services will heal you deeply, find inner peace, and create meaningful connections in your lives. Together, we work to uncover the root causes of their pain and help them reconnect with their inner strength.

My therapeutic style is based on the idea that we are fundamentally social beings who crave deep and meaningful connections. Safe and secure relationships and deep connection can bring healing qualities in one’s life. I emphasize the importance of our therapeutic relationship to facilitate healing and change. In session, I take a collaborative stand with my clients and I incorporate mind, body, and spirit in our work together while using evidence-based approaches to target thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. I maintain a holistic view on human functioning and consider all parts that make us who we are.

I offer services to adolescents and adults using an integrative approach to suit clients needs.
Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. However, we often feel that we are alone in our suffering, that no one can relate to our experiences, or that we don’t deserve to find peace in our lives. This can create feelings of frustration and despair, and we begin to feel stuck, unable to connect with others. Fear of judgement, along with our vulnerabilities can keep us from reaching out when we need it the most. I am confident that every person holds an innate understanding of what they need to heal and grow. Grounded in compassion, humility, and curiosity, my aim is to co-create a safe, open space for self-exploration.

What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behaviour patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
