Dear clients, I am the President and co-founder of the Montreal Psychology Center. My specialties include Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Anxiety and Depression. In addition, I completed specialized training in couple therapy. While working as a therapist at Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital (2004-2007), I was the co-developer of a workshop for couples entitled “Make Love Better”. This 8-week seminar was designed to help couples improve their relationships by promoting effective communication and enhancing emotional and sexual intimacy. My expertise on couple problems has been sought after by the media (e.g., CJAD, Syd Miller Show).

I am a marital and family therapist with over 30 years experience working with individuals and couples helping them negotiate and solve problems related to marital conflict, separation, divorce, and with difficulties adjusting to mental health problems. I am a teacher and supervisor in the field, so I am familiar with a range of intervention skills to help my clients with a wide variety of difficulties. I use their strengths to foster better relationships. I lately have a special interest in Adult Attention Deficit Disorder; its assessment and understanding of the relationship issues it poses for the individual and family.

After 30-years of global leadership experience in the financial markets using coaching as a management tool, I now help others to navigate the world of work. We spend around 60% of our weekday waking hours working, and I often come across common pain points among clients. Do my talents, needs, and purpose align with the job requirements and organizational values? How can I maintain my energy while working remotely? Am I delivering quickly, and am I agile enough for a rapidly changing market place (imposter syndrome)? I don't have authority over the human resources I need to do my job- it's a nightmare trying to organize them.

In order to feel better, you need to speak about what's hurting you. By scheduling a meeting with me to discuss whether I might be of help to you, there is absolutely no need to be concerned about immediate commitment to ongoing treatment. For some concerns, even one meeting can be an important step. I respect your financial investment in this process and seek timely effectiveness. Trained at Columbia University, my work is non-judgmental and confidential. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

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.

I have been in full time private practice for over thirty years and I have expertise in treating a large variety of problems. I work with both individuals and couples and specialize in depression and anxiety as well as in helping people cope with life transitions and relationship issues. In treating anxiety I use cognitive-behavioural techniques including relaxation therapy. In treating depression I focus on altering negative thinking patterns and offering support and strategies to change behaviours. I also have a great deal of experience in helping patients with burnout and other work related issues.

I view psychotherapy as a journey of understanding and changing patterns that lead to emotional suffering. My goal is to accompany you in this journey, helping you make sense of your internal experiences, rekindle with your strengths, and explore new ways of being. I help adults struggling with emotional dysregulation, difficulties forming and maintaining relationships, and problems building connections with people. I also help individuals navigate challenging life transitions (grief, loss, separation, health issues).

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 years of experience counselling individuals and supervising therapists-in-training. I have successfully treated a variety of needs and find meaning in working with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

I am a Montreal counselor and psychotherapist with over 30 years experience in private practice. I help people to understand themselves better, improve their self-esteem, get rid of self-defeating patterns and develop more satisfying relationships. My approach emphasizes how you think and make choices in the here and now, so that you can change faulty or limiting beliefs and overcome discouragement. My personal style is open, direct and encouraging.

I work with clients to help them identify and tackle the obstacles blocking them from enjoying a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll work to understand how your past may be influencing your life today, how you make sense of and derive meaning and purpose from life, and how you can bolster your resilience when faced with future challenging experiences.

As a psychologist, I value developing a deeper understanding of the people I work with, encouraging them to share their story and allowing me to see the world through their lens. I understand what it means to feel disappointed, disconnected, and to struggle to maintain changes. Therefore, I know how important it is to feel heard, and to be guided in a helpful way toward meaningful goals. I work with both individuals and couples to help them better cope with difficult life transitions, to better develop closer, more connected relationships, and to overcome specific difficulties like eating disorders and anxiety.

Throughout my work experience as a family counselor, university lecturer and currently as a life coach, I have always been amazed to observe the ability of individuals in recognizing and resolving their own problems if they receive guidance and strategies based on their own values. I have a humanistic and person-centered approach. My main objective is to help you gain a deeper insight into your reality and have a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I will also provide you with different tools and techniques needed to tackle personal, family or social challenges that you might be facing at the moment.

I provide support and guidance to girls and women to fully and authentically come into themselves. I understand the complexities of the daily experince of being female in our society and how difficult it is for women to be strong, caring and assertive in our society. I take a women-centered approach to mental health and do not label behaviors and emotions as disordered but to understand these as responses in the context of your life. I strive to help my clients understand that we have to face our discomfort first before we can let it go. This takes great courage and vulnerability on your part.

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.

Life has lost its focus and feels heavy with the pressures that face you in a time of pandemic. It might be difficult to function at work or at home (these may all be the same place now). Perhaps you have lost your job. You want to be able to adjust to the new reality, but you wonder how to manage. In therapy, you get to explore your situation, your emotions, and your hopes for the future in a way that helps you to grow in happiness, wisdom, authenticity, resilience and compassion. Therapy is your place; it's where you can feel safe, understood and never judged. Navigate this difficult journey with the help of a skilled therapist.
