Personal growth is an ongoing process that often requires focused attention and accompaniment. Results are based on the ability to built a trusting relationship that is interactive and collaborative. I am a bilingual, licensed, therapist that has worked in field for over 30 years. My interactive style tends to be warm, engaging and down to earth; while at the same time being clear and direct. I am also known to introduce creative and humorous approaches to the interactive process and the presenting challenges. This occurs through a "strengths based" approach and in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

There are increasing psychological problems which do not meet traditional psychiatric disorders but concern developmental 'family-of-origin' attachment dynamics, impacting adult functioning-regarding work, intimacy and creativity. Although external factors are often rather 'real' and painful- self justification, rationalization and avoidance/denial often defeat heartfelt goals, dreams, desires and unique potential regarding school/work, intimacy, creativity and future possibilities.

You are not alone! We all face challenges at times. We may seem alright on the outside yet constantly feel like nothing we do is ever good enough, stuck in our relationships, overwhelmed with life, worried about all the “what-ifs,” ashamed about something we did or didn’t do, or unwell without understand why. We may have absorbed hurtful messages growing up, making us feel like a failure and treat ourselves like an enemy on the inside. All natural and human. I talk about this all the time in my work at McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences!
