I believe that psychotherapy in essence is a collaborative process that aims to increase psychological well-being and reduce emotional pain, loneliness and languishing which are ever present in today's world. At the heart of this process, is the positive healing relationship that develops between an individual, a couple or a family, and the therapist. I offer clients a non-judgemental, empathic space where they learn to identify and tolerate their emotions, articulate appropriately their needs to significant people in their life and work on breaking away from toxic negative cycles.

You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy! Art therapy is the process of discovering and expressing yourself creatively through a variety of mediums. I work with your feelings and beliefs about your current state and support you in creating a way to maximize your daily functioning. Art therapy is appropriate for all ages, genders, and a broad range of concerns, including: connecting to the self; identity; life transitions; relational, school, or career difficulties; attention/focus; goal setting and achievement; stressful or worrisome feelings or behavioral patterns; and coping with grief and loss.

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 believe that suffering can become an opportunity to better know yourself as well as your needs. I find this citation from Leonard Cohen particularly representative of my vision of psychotherapy ''There is crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.'' I offer individual therapy for adults in English and French. My office is located in Outremont, Montreal. I can help with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, burnout, existential issues (death, loneliness, meaning of life, life choices, etc.), relational difficulties, self-esteem and emotional regulation.

Every relationship goes through phases of harmony and disruption. Partners generally have more trouble knowing how to move into the repair or healing process after things have gone awry. Three decades of research into relationships has offered invaluable insights in the tangible and specific skills and habits that happy couples rely on and use. When these are absent or not cultivated, relationships go into disruption and partners will not know how to find the love and closeness they’re looking for.

We all have the need to feel seen and heard. I believe art therapy can help with this by allowing you a safe space to discover and express your needs, your patterns and your sense of self. We can tackle a range of issues such as stress, worry, grief and interpersonal issues (amongst others) using art as tool for self-expression and regulation. No art experience or talent is necessary to benefit from art therapy.

Music has an amazing capacity to help us heal our pain. As an alternative to talk therapy, music therapy can help you improve your emotional and psychological wellbeing. You can harnesses music, as a means for soothing and regulating emotions, expressing and exploring life experiences, redefining who you are and changing how you connect to the world. Music is deeply connected to your memories, culture, identity, relationship experiences and beliefs. Whether you are a seasoned musician or simply a music lover; music is the language of emotion. This is an experiential, creative approach to therapy that anyone can try.

Life can be very difficult - and it can be wonderful too. Art has always been something we human beings turn to in our need to discover and articulate the light and darkness of our inner world. Time spent with an art therapist can help you access your inner creativity so as to express your feelings, organize your thoughts, and deal with issues and relationships that are causing you difficulty. Art therapy can also provide the means for productive self-reflection leading to personal growth and emotional well-being. No art skills are necessary.

The familiar saying based on an ancient Chinese proverb "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" is one which, to my mind invites us to reflect on our past and on our future. Perhaps your particular life's journey is not yet taking you in a fulfilling or rewarding direction. A painful family past, issues of loss, relationship conflicts, struggles with your teen, are just some types of setbacks which may leave you feeling anxious, sad, exhausted, hopeless or helpless. Today is a new day. The one in which you take that first important step toward transforming your life journey into one of meaningful growth and change.
