Seeking support can be challenging. It can feel scary to explore truths, reflect on hard feelings, and create change. Together, we will build a collaborative therapeutic relationship to gain insight into your life, and allow difficult experiences and patterns to emerge. During sessions, we will experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating that will ultimately deepen your understanding of yourself, identify barriers to change, and increase insight about these issues.

As an experienced clinical psychologist, as well as a McGill professor in Departments of both Psychology and Psychiatry, I bring a high level of competence to address your concerns. My 25 years as Chief Psychologist at the Royal Vic, and previous positions at major hospitals in Los Angeles, Toronto and Vancouver have afforded me the opportunity to help clients with a wide variety of problems. I have a particular interest in psychological problems of work where I provide both executive coaching services and small business consultation. For over 30 years, I have also worked with many professional athletes seeking peak performance.

In my private practice, I offer individual psychotherapy in both English and French to adults from different cultural backgrounds. I prioritize a non-judgmental environment, where I help my clients work through their struggles and achieve their personal goals.

Member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I use CBT as well as a process-oriented model designed to help families and individuals strengthen their relationships with themselves and others by healing old attachment wounds in order to improve a person's mental health, self-esteem, and personal relationships. By identifying unmet needs, we can draw inner and outer resources to have these needs met.

I provide a woman- centered approach to mental health, as a licensed psychologist and life coach, that is personalized to fit the needs and personality of each individual woman. Women's mental health may be affected by reproductive- related events (e.g., the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause). As such, the possible impact of biological factors need to be understood and incorporated in a holistic approach, that includes psychological, social, and cultural factors, for each woman to receive optimal treatment. Within this context I provide diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and consultation for a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment concerns.
