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.

I'm a psychologist, member of the OPQ, having obtained a PhD from McGill University. I offer psychotherapy to individuals who experience anxiety, depression, dissociation, and relational difficulties, due to past stress/trauma.

Over the years as a helping professional I realized that people care less about clever language and elaborate techniques and more about receiving sincere love and compassion, living hope and courage, honest feedback, and new perspectives. What proved to help is having the mutual trust to explore and work on intimate, sometimes painful topics, step-by-step. Together, we invite your strengths and natural wisdom to take the steering wheel of your life, letting go of the grasp of your fears and limiting self-beliefs. Together, we also help you chose and create new habits towards a better ways of being.

I am a social worker, couple and family therapist and psychotherapist offering individual and relationship therapy.

You've tried therapy before. Maybe it didn't go deep enough. Perhaps you've been told you have anxiety, or depersonalization, or complex trauma, and you've never quite felt understood. You're ready for something different.
I work audio only, no camera, with adults worldwide. Many of my clients are high functioning on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. They live with DPDR, long-standing anxiety, or trauma they've carried so long it feels like who they are.
We go at your pace. I'm direct but never harsh. The work is collaborative, not performative.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
