Therapists in Laval, QC

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.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here! In my work with clients, I prioritize the therapeutic relationship and believe therapy works best when the therapist and client are partners in exploring the client’s inner world together. My approach is eclectic and combines attachment/ family systems /psycho-dynamics / CBT, RLT, IFS and EFT therapies.

Are you feeling professionally stuck or unhappy? Being unhappy at work can negatively impact so much more than work. It can affect your mental health, confidence, relationships, and more. I work with adults experiencing work dissatisfaction, disengagement, burnout or who know change is in order but have no idea what to do or where to start.

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

I offer an individual psychotherapy service adapted to the needs and particularities of each one. My approach is integrative and aims to support those who are going through painful periods of life or experience deep dissatisfaction associated with emotional difficulties. I also work with individuals who, without going through a period of "crisis", wish to undertake a process of personal development.

Are you a gay man who is overwhelmed by the intensity of your feelings? Do certain situations feel triggering or remind you of a past trauma? It can feel unbearable when you’re just trying to keep it together, and hoping nobody notices when you start breathing rapidly, sweating, or shaking. Even between intense moments, there can be a low-level anxiety that feels like it’s always lurking, ready to take over at any time. Not to mention the shame about not feeling in control of your responses. The good news is that there are specific skills that can be learned to listen to your emotions and think about your past in a whole new way.

I work with adults (18+) who are interested in developing their strengths and strategies to overcome the challenges they are experiencing. I work primarily with individuals experiencing difficulties with emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, traumatic life experiences, life transitions, low self-esteem, perfectionism, career transition and relationship difficulties.

I am client centred and prefer to work collaboratively, integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to the needs of my client. I am professionally qualified as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and a Creative Arts Therapist. I also have advanced training in Mindfulness and Meditation, as well as specific training in CBT and Solution Focused therapies.
