Great-West Life Therapists in Westmount, QC
In person sessions only.
My therapeutic approach is psychoanalytic. When the mind is in conflict with itself it can lead to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and self defeating behaviours. By making sense of the unconscious mind and its conflicts, one can begin to heal from past experiences, improve current relationships and develop a more fulfilling relationship with oneself.

Many adults struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsive urges, or intense anxiety often feel overwhelmed before they even begin searching for help. I provide evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety using CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard approach for reducing distress and changing unhelpful patterns.

You’re holding it all together on the outside, but inside, it’s a different story. Some days, the worry and mental noise won’t let up; other days, it feels like you’re simply going through the motions, disconnected from yourself. You might be succeeding by others’ standards, yet still carrying invisible pressure. Maybe your relationships feel strained, or you’re exhausted from trying to meet expectations that no longer reflect who you are. Whatever has brought you here, therapy isn’t just about getting through a crisis, it’s about coming home to yourself. It’s a space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

The Centre for Psychodynamic Insights is a virtual clinic specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This approach explores the root causes of symptoms by uncovering and understanding underlying emotions through evidence-based treatment. Through collaborative dialogue, we examine unconscious thoughts and emotions shaped from childhood to the present. We work to relieve symptoms by understanding how these patterns affect current experiences, and create targeted strategies for meaningful change long-term.

After 25 years of clinical practice, I've come to understand that what most women are seeking goes deeper than insight alone. Healing isn't only about understanding your patterns — it's about why they persist and how to actually change them. My approach integrates clinical psychology with sacred feminine frameworks that honour women's cyclical development, body wisdom, and emotional intelligence, alongside the conditioning we've absorbed about who we're allowed to be. This is depth work, designed for women ready to stop abandoning themselves and reclaim who they really are.

If anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or relationship issues are weighing on you, you’re not alone. Many people find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking, emotional exhaustion, conflict, or self-doubt, unsure how to break patterns that no longer serve them. You might feel disconnected from your values, overwhelmed by life transitions, or stretched beyond your current coping capacity. I approach therapy with compassion, cultural awareness, and the belief that meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

I practice a specialized form of dynamic experiential therapy that aims to get to the core of a person's problem. It is applicable to a wide range of mental health disturbances such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, unexplained chronic pain and medical symptoms, unachieved objectives, or problems with emotions, loss, relationships, assertion, self-esteem, self-defeating behavior, or less than successful results with other forms of therapy.
