Therapists in M1T
Life can sometimes be full of stressors and uncertainties – all of which are difficult to navigate on your own. The truth is we all struggle from time to time, whether it be relational stressors, emotional distress, anxiety, grief, or self esteem. I offer a warm, collaborative, and direct approach to therapy. My style is highly relational - I believe meaningful change happens within a safe therapeutic relationship where you feel understood and challenged with care. Together, we work to make sense of your emotional experiences, strengthen regulation skills, and shift patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I believe that every person has a desire to be their best self and live their best life. However there are times in life when you may be met with challenges, struggles or perhaps a personal crisis. Perhaps you feel you are struggling to cope. I believe in every person’s ability to heal, grow and recover. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, where we can work together to build insight, self awareness and skills.

Are you noticing some ongoing challenges in your relationships to others and yourself? Do you ever feel a void, an emptiness or even a cloud following you wherever you go and you can't seem to fully get why? That can be an extremely difficult and painful experience, especially as you are trying to navigate through the world. Unfortunately, most of us don't set enough time aside to tune into ourselves, heal some of our wounds and navigate through our complex layers. This avoidance can lead to some long-term affects in our intimate relationships, at work, with our kids, and more.

Are you going through a period of change, loss, or emotional disconnection? Perhaps you feel drained, uncertain, or have lost touch with who you are. I support women who want to heal their self-esteem, reconnect with self-love, and regain emotional balance, especially during life transitions or personal transformation.

Parenting, school, work, relationships, or any of the number of twists and turns life throws at us, trying to balance it all is overwhelming at times. Through over a decade of frontline work with children and adults with dual diagnoses, I have been able to really focus on how I can help families and their children really grow and develop. These opportunities have allowed me to gain experiences in the school system, supported living work, and in private practice. I have gained knowledge of what resources are available and excellent strategies to help support and provide treatment far beyond where my experiences began.

You may be feeling exhausted from burnout, stuck in patterns of perfectionism, weighed down by trauma, or navigating overwhelming stress in your relationships or professional life. Perhaps you are a healthcare provider, executive, high performer, or a fellow mental health professional balancing immense responsibilities. Or maybe you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, exploring kink, ENM/polyamory, or healing as a survivor of trauma or violence. You want a safe space to be fully seen and understood, and you long for clarity, balance, and healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others. Montreal and virtual in QC + ON.

Anxiety feels like it’s running the show. You may be stuck in constant worry, overthinking, panic, or physical tension that makes everyday life harder than it should be. You want relief, steadiness, and tools that actually help. Your goal is to feel calmer, more in control, and able to move through life with greater confidence and ease.

Welcome to The Calm Space, a place for healing, self-discovery, and growth.
Life can feel like a constant balancing act, leaving little room to connect with who you truly are. Maybe you're navigating anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing tendencies that make it hard to set boundaries and feel at peace. Or perhaps past experiences, whether childhood wounds or a single traumatic event-are still shaping your present in ways you wish they wouldn’t. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Every person’s journey is different.
