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. In the midst of the many challenges in life, having someone share part of the journey with you and help provide clarity can be enormously helpful. I am a psychologist with over twenty years of experience counselling individuals, leading groups, and supervising therapists-in-training. I have successfully treated a variety of needs and find meaning in working with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

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.

Something feels off — maybe for a long time. If you're carrying the weight of losing someone, we offer EMDR and IADC (Induced After-Death Communication) — a focused, two-session therapy for grief and loss.

This deeper grief work is delivered alongside trauma-informed care, online across Ontario and in person in Montreal (Île-des-Sœurs). This work can be truly transformational. You don't have to keep carrying this alone.

I would like to offer you my appreciation on how important the step you are giving right now is. Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting or disconcerting at first but the impulse that brought you here means you want things to be different, right? Maybe with less anxiety, less suffering or less loneliness. Maybe with more space to be who you are and experience more easiness to relate to others. Past traumas, being raised in non-attuned contexts and any form of oppression impose ruptures to the dialog between us and others and the internal parts of ourselves. These cracks generate conflicts, suffering, shame, and a self-alienation.
