Couples Counselling Therapists in Westmount, QC

Wishing to change is the beginning of a journey towards a different life. Seeking help along the road is a strength and a way to engage more fully in the journey. As a systemic and drama therapist I have worked with narrative and re-storying past and believe strongly in the practise of connecting both mind and body in the process of change. It is this work that I offer to my clients. I provide psychotherapy to children, teens and adults that is goal-oriented and action-method based designed to help clients achieve a healthy relationship with themselves and others

Not accepting new clients - Are you aware of your issues, but can't seem to make the changes you want. Has past therapy helped but only to a point? Just when you think you were past the distress, a current event triggered a range of emotions that leaves you overwhelmed, distraught and confused. I address issues cognitively and emotionally using EMDR and other therapies to gain a better understanding that helps you change in positive ways. Anxiety, depression, relationships are only a few areas that we can work on together in a compassionate and empowering manner.

We ask for help when we can't do it alone anymore; when our relationships are not working; when we are tired of our own patterns. People who consult with me find that I am genuine and knowledgeable, with a unique, human approach. I work with adults and teens, couples and families, and respond to your needs effectively and compassionately. I provide help that addresses immediate concerns and provides lasting change. I am experienced in providing brief and long-term therapy for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and life's changes including career issues.

Do you find yourself feeling excessively worried, sad, stressed, or are relationship issues weighing on you? If you are looking for a confidential, and judgement free space to discuss your experience, and to obtain tools that may help, you have come to the right place. I have over a decade of clinical experience working with individuals, couples , and families. It will be my pleasure to talk with you on the phone, and address any questions that you may have before we even schedule a session.

NOT currently accepting new clients. Are you "Too Sensitive"? Psychotherapy and consultation for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and Gifted adults. High Sensitivity (HS) is a naturally occurring temperamental trait in 15-20% of the normal population and a typical characteristic of gifted adults. In conjunction with Introversion, intuition, creativity and giftedness, heightened sensitivity creates unique life experiences and predictable stresses. Understanding, validating and managing sensitivity can reduce anxiety and depression, increase self-esteem, and moderate relationship difficulties, burnout and perfectionism.

Your wellness is my priority. Every one of us is filled with infinite potential, resilience, and inner strength. I have had the privilege of accompanying hundreds of people along their unique path toward healing, and together we can identify ways to move you through and beyond your struggles. Whether these be in your relationships or career, feeling anxious or afraid, down and lost, or disconnected from your feelings - we can work together to get you grounded, understand your feelings, and make changes to live a more meaningful life.

I am a licensed psychologist working for over 25 years with adults in individual therapy. I have helped clients address difficulties that have prevented them from living happy and healthy lives. My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, effective communication and relationship difficulties, stress management, self-esteem and grief, among others. Through a safe and trusting relationship I will support you in managing challenging situations in your life and help you to develop effective coping strategies.

I have been practising as a psychologist and specializing in couple and family therapy since 1995. What I find most fulfilling in my practice is helping individuals and couples create more safety and connection in their relationships by gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and how they relate to one another. Because one approach does not work with all couples , I have made it a point to be well versed in a variety of different approaches and techniques in order to tailor my work to the couple's specific needs.

Healthy connections provide a secure base from which we can reach our full potential. Unresolved relationships are a constant burden. Challenges such as relationship distress, infidelity and divorce can be devastating but they can also be opportunities for growth and the development of a stronger sense of self. My practice focuses on individuals, couples and families who are experiencing relationship difficulties using an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (www.iceeft.ca). I am also a supervisor at the Argyle Institute of Human Relations (www.argyleinstitute.org), a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and a Supervisor and Clinical AAMFT member and Supervisor.
