For the last 27 years I have shared my time as a psychotherapist and art therapist between the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and private practice at the Queen Elizabeth Health Centre. In addition, since 2005 I have taught in Concordia University's Masters in Art Therapy. I offer a therapeutic place for adults, children and teenagers to work individually. I work with a focus on both current maladaptive patterns, origins of current emotions, behaviours and thoughts, and a strong emphasis on one's sense of self, while always finding the strengths and resilience that is in each person.

I offer therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, life transitions, and academic or career-related stress. My goal is to help clients develop practical tools and deeper self-understanding so they can navigate these challenges with greater confidence, emotional balance, and autonomy. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years being hard on themselves, suppressing emotions, or carrying everything on their own. Together, we work toward healthier and more sustainable ways of managing thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

Grief, loneliness, and a feeling of being out to sea can bring individuals into my office, but also the desire to make life "better", whatever that means to them.
I offer therapy that uses art to self-express. With experience in bereavement and palliative care, along with a background in psychology and fine arts, I can help you explore a grounded sense of self, internalized grief, and find coping tools through creativity to better understand and nurture yourself.

I focus on supporting individuals who struggle with feelings of low self-worth and esteem, particularly in the context of relationships, work, or academic life. My therapeutic lens explores the roots of these challenges in family dynamics.
Through interaction with art materials—whether simple or more complex, depending on your comfort and interest—we can access unconscious patterns and past events that continue to shape the present. Using your hands and creating images can help manage anxious states, address painful feelings of inadequacy, and move through stagnation.

I have experience supporting adults and children facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, major life changes, self-worth concerns, relationship challenges, professional stress, health-related adjustments, and cross-cultural transitions.
I offer a supportive and respectful space where your experiences can be explored safely and without judgment. My role is to accompany you through difficult moments and help you clarify where you would like your life to move next. I view therapy as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and honest dialogue.
My work is collaborative and individualized. I adapt the process to reflect your unique goals, personality, and circumstances. I take into account the many systems that shape your experience — including family dynamics, cultural background, spiritual or religious beliefs, community influences, and societal expectations.

Thinking "I'm exhausted, I'm tired of feeling this way, and I don't know how to fix it" is a heavy way to live. When you are caught in a repeating loop with your partner, or quietly battling an impulse that feels impossible to live with or break free from, those thoughts can completely take over. You might be having the exact same argument over and over, desperately chasing after a distant partner, friend, or co-worker or pulling away to avoid being swallowed up. If you are carrying a physical tension in your body that leaves you disconnected from those you love, let's step out of the loop.

I specialize in anxiety-related issues (i.e. health anxiety, insomnia), relationship challenges, pain, and complicated grief.
Anxiety, self-questioning, and rumination can have emotional and physical impacts—leaving you feeling alone in your experience. My clients share that their self-esteem, relationships, constant thinking or even physical pain are causing distress, and that they feel trapped in this. Together, we'll curiously explore what's contributing to your experience - and this shared understanding will serve as the foundation for our work. I'm here to help you examine your thoughts, emotions, and even physical sensations with greater courage and confidence. We’ll then work together to move forward in a way that feels safe yet action-oriented.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready for change and want practical support to move forward. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by stress, burnout, trauma, relationship concerns, emotional eating, anger, imposter syndrome, ADHD-related challenges, or difficulty regulating their emotions.
My approach blends therapy-informed support with action-focused coaching. We do not ignore your past, but we also do not allow it to become the whole story. Together, we use trauma, pain, and life challenges as reference points to understand patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and create clear action steps.

I help people with anxiety, stress, depression (or loss of a loved one), eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder), and individuals or couples with relationship difficulties.
Therapy is a personal choice: for some it can help resolve problems. Therapy can help for those who are feeling overwhelmed, sad or alone, or maybe uncomfortable or unsatisfied in their body, themselves or their relationships. For others, therapy is helpful for better understanding themselves or the world around them.

As a psychologist, my goal is to help you overcome the challenges you are facing, better understand yourself, and feel capable of experiencing the full spectrum of your emotions. I believe that there are no unacceptable emotions or thoughts. However, when we do not understand their root causes or struggle to experience them in the moment, they can lead to greater suffering and unhelpful behaviours. I am dedicated to offering a warm, genuine, and empathetic space to explore even the most difficult and estranged emotional experiences, so we may work through them together.

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.
