Emotionally Focused Therapists in Montréal, QC
Would you like to feel motivated by life? Cultivate genuine, loving relationships? Feel good about yourself, regardless of what life throws your way? Well you’re certainly not alone! Connection, self-esteem, and self-actualization have all been identified as human needs—essential to our mental health and well-being. Unfortunately, certain emotional, behavioural, or relational patterns can act as barriers to these needs, quelling our personal growth, and leaving us confined to oppressive cycles of anxiety and distress. Relate to any or all of the above? I think we all can—and perhaps I can help.

I believe that every difficulty we meet on the journey of our lives is an opportunity to evolve - by deepening our consciousness and love so that we can participate more fully in life. I see psychotherapy as mostly a process of redirecting energies, from protective & survival modes to self-actualization. I work with adults on issues of life transitions (loss, separation, adjustment disorders), depression, anxiety, eco-anxiety, addictions, high sensitivity, giftedness, creative blocks, questions of meaning & purpose in life, etc.

I offer online psychotherapy sessions. I collaborate with my clients, fostering emotional exploration, self-understanding, and internal growth. Together, we explore the person as a whole, considering all the areas of life contributing to their difficulties, but also their resources. We consider the influence of their past, the strengths of their present, and we target their future goals. We highlight healthy coping strategies, facilitate change and develop tools to overcome anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, career or life transitions, or to heal vulnerable parts.

Hi there! I'm a neurodivergent & queer therapist. My work is grounded in somatic attachment theory, which means we explore how your past relational experiences—and how systemic issues—might still show up in your body, emotions, and relationships today. This might show up as feeling unsafe setting boundaries, even when you know you need to, or struggling with self-trust and relying on external validation to feel secure. You might notice tension, numbness, or overwhelm in your body during moments of stress or conflict. Rather than just talking about these patterns, we gently tune into your body’s cues to build awareness and shift them
