My specialty is relationships of all types (with yourself, romantic, family and friends).
Authentic communication means knowing yourself, your needs, boundaries and patterns, and expressing them responsibly and with love. People who see me want to see how their repetitive, harmful patterns have held them back from getting their needs met. Together, working on self-esteem, relationships, patterns, and communication skills can lead to lasting change in your life. You have the capacity to grow, to heal from whatever may be holding you back and to connect with your happiest self simply by truly being You. Self-acceptance, love and taking responsibility for yourself and your needs allow you to be HAPPY.

With a colleague, I also offer team-based music therapy for children that takes into account Amelia Oldfield's work with families, Nordoff-Robbins, and Willy Apollon's theory of child development.
I'm a music therapist. Anyone who needs different space to explore - whether to process what they are experiencing, or to develop a creative project - can benefit from my general practice. In my specialty, I often work with young children who are manifesting developmental differences or symptoms like anxiety, and with older children who are encountering obstacles related to a diagnosis or to trauma. I also offer support for young adults, including adapted piano and composition lessons at all levels. My approach is neuroaffirming and participant-led.

I work with people feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected; often navigating sick leave, breakups, infidelity, grief, or identity shifts. My clients may not always have clear goals, but they long to feel more at home in themselves. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where emotions and bodily sensations can be safely explored. Together, we slow down, listen inward, and support healing that is honest, embodied, and real.

You may be an adult experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, or the lasting impact of trauma, feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life transitions. You might be questioning meaning, identity, or direction—often during midlife, migration, or relational challenges. You seek a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns shaping your emotional life. I view those who come to therapy not simply as clients or patients, but as individuals navigating personal suffering in a complex world. My work supports the growth of self-awareness and the exploration of underlying difficulties that may limit one’s sense of agency and potential.

My professional background is in working with Domestic Violence victims and perpetrators, families in youth protection, with the Mental Health Emergency Team at the Montreal Children's Hospital, and addictions counselling at Heritage Home Foundation.
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.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
