I am skilled in working with a wide variety of presenting problems, including special areas of interest such as:
Women's Issues
, Anxiety & Depression,Youth at Risk, Healing from Abusive parents and Trauma & Loss.
I provide support and guidance to girls and women to fully and authentically come into themselves. I understand the complexities of the daily experince of being female in our society and how difficult it is for women to be strong, caring and assertive in our society. I take a women-centered approach to mental health and do not label behaviors and emotions as disordered but to understand these as responses in the context of your life. I strive to help my clients understand that we have to face our discomfort first before we can let it go. This takes great courage and vulnerability on your part.

Outcasts, survivors, solution-seekers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, worriers, warriors, and adventurers ages 6 to 66: this is your call to action. You've set your sights on mental wellness and the quest came with more obstacles and surprises than you had planned. It is so tempting to put down the sword and give up, but you continue to persevere! I want to cheer you on while you embark (or continue) on your journey to the best version of you. In sessions, we would use playful methods transcending traditional talk therapy to aid you in feeling capable of handling life's inevitable instabilities.

I am a psychotherapist and a licensed couple and family therapist. I was the winner of the award for clinical excellence for couple and family therapy from McGill University 2019. I received a Master's in psychology in 2009. My main area of focus is trauma and how it impacts adult individuals and couples. I understand that right now you may feel that as though you have too much on your plate and that you are struggling to balance all of life's demands. I believe that many people do not take the time to focus on themselves and invest in their emotional well- being.

Sometimes "expecting" is not what you expect! If you are thinking about having a baby, struggling to conceive, are pregnant or are within your first year postpartum and are concerned about your experience, I can help. Sometimes too and tragically, pregnancies don't always end with a happy outcome. Whichever situation you are facing, I can offer you both individualized support or in a group setting so that you don't feel alone and isolated in your current struggle. I work collaboratively with my clients and my style is very conversational. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease in coming to therapy.

While pain is part of human experience, it needs attention when it turns into suffering. Are you going through a time of transition? Feeling confused, desperate, frustrated, or humiliated? Are you having trouble with overeating, depression or anxiety? Therapy can help to transform suffering into joy and peace: physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. Art Therapy offers a safe space to slow down and tap into inner resourcefulness, as well as a creative process that can bring different views and resolutions to difficult situations.

Undertaking psychotherapy takes an act of courage. It is not easy to turn and face the very challenges that are underlying the symptoms you are experiencing. Yet, facing these obstacles head-on is exactly what can lead to profound emotional, physical and spiritual transformations. We each possess the capacity to live fulfilling, meaningful lives if unobstructed. Finding out what is contributing to your symptoms and what messages they are bringing can lead to your making the types of changes that can transform your life. I look forward to taking this journey with you!

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. 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.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
