English
| Français I am trained to help adults, children, adolescents, men, women, families, and professionals better cope with a wide variety of emotional, relational and personal challenges. If you are feeling overwhelmed, out-of touch with yourself or generally unhappy and enjoy a genuine conversation with another person willing to reach out to help, than I believe we would be a good fit. I developed an eclectic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy, heavily influenced by humanistic/existential, positive psychology, CBT, and expressive art therapy.
I am dedicated to empowering individuals suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, grief, acculturation difficulties, or eating disorders by helping them look past their life stressors and regain vitality, self-esteem, and purpose in life.
My diverse work experiences have nourished my therapeutic skills beyond what I have learned from my Ph.d. I work first on establishing a safe space and a uniquely customized treatment plan to meet the individual needs of each person so that they are truly comfortable in taking steps towards a more balanced life, free of unnecessary suffering.
