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 offer individuals sessions for all ages, as well as families. I typically support clients who may be experiencing depression/anxiety , feeling stuck, relationship issues, trauma, career burn out, self esteem struggles and difficult life transitions. My strong back ground in working with children, adolescents and their families for many years prepared me in supporting adults with complex childhood traumas as well. I am a member of the l'Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec. I believe that everyone is unique, therefore I tailor my practice to individual's unique situation.

My priority is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which thoughts, feelings, and behaviours may be explored in ways that help clients gain self-awareness, and in turn, offer insights on objectives and how to achieve them.
Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I set my sights on helping clients achieve balance and well-being as they navigate personal challenges and aspirations. I offer insurance receipts for counselling through the CCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association) and for naturopathic/naturopathy services through the ACNN (Academy of Naturopaths and Naturotherapists of Canada)

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.

I believe that times of hardship and difficulty can often provide opportunities for personal growth by leading one to take stock of one’s priorities, values, perceptions, relationships and environments; to replace dysfunctional coping strategies with more effective ones; to reevaluate and explore one’s goals; to discover what gives one’s life greater meaning and satisfaction, and to uncover one’s strengths and capacities. As a clinical psychologist (Ph.D) with extensive experience and training, I am dedicated to helping my clients realize their goals and explore opportunities for personal growth.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
