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.

All of us have, at times, struggled to live our lives in a way that feels fulfilling. We can become stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, dreary feelings, and ineffectual behaviours.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP

I specialize in helping adults heal from childhood sexual abuse and complex trauma.
You’ve spent so long trying to move on but the past still shows up in ways you can’t really explain. Maybe you feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted from always holding it together. You might look “fine” on the outside, but inside you’re tired; tired of pretending it doesn’t all still affect you. When you’ve experienced childhood sexual trauma, your mind and body adapt in powerful ways to keep you safe. Over time, those same protective patterns such as people-pleasing, shutting down, or staying hypervigilant can start to feel like they’re running your life. You deserve to feel free of these feelings.

J’accompagne une clientèle adulte diversifiée en art-thérapie et en psychothérapie, en français. Mes champs de pratique incluent notamment le trauma (dont les agressions sexuelles), mais aussi les TOC, les phobies, l’anxiété, la dépression, le deuil, les transitions des enjeux relationnels, les dépendances et les troubles de la conduite alimentaire.
À propos de l’art-thérapie.. L'art-thérapie est une forme de psychothérapie permettant à la fois l'expression verbale et artistique (collage, dessin, etc). Bien que la thérapie verbale soit bénéfique pour plusieurs, certaines expériences peuvent être difficiles à mettre en mots.

Sexual Abuse Counsellors
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
