Therapists in Dorval, QC

If you're searching for a psychologist who combines the latest in evidence-based treatments with a deeply caring and supportive approach, I'm here to help. I have worked in various community and hospital settings, specializing in the treatment of depression (including self-esteem, perfectionism), trauma, substance misuse, and emotion dysregulation (including emotional avoidance, borderline personality). I believe that one size does not fit all, which is why I integrate evidence-based treatments, such as DBT and CBT, with new research and therapeutic approaches to meet the unique goals and needs of each individual.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and a Psychologist in the Centre for CBT Research, Training, and Intervention of the McGill University Health Centre. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders (e.g., panic attacks, social anxiety, worry, phobias, health anxiety), obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, perfectionism, insomnia, hoarding, repetitive behaviours (e.g., tics, hair-pulling, skin-picking), stress, and relationship/self-esteem issues.

We're here to help. We are a small team of highly specialized and skilled Ph.D./Psyc.D. level psychologists. We have extensive experience and expertise dealing with various mental health concerns including: anxiety, depression, anger, alcohol and substance misuse, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, relationship problems, low self-esteem and feeling lost or lacking in life meaning.

My personal and professional values include respect, autonomy, collaboration, and compassion. My priority is to guide clients to sustain healthy relationships, overcome difficulties, manage symptoms, and attain personal goals. Working with me usually involves identifying current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving/relating/interacting, identifying personal values, exploring life changes and barriers to making decisions, and learning new skills (e.g., communication/assertiveness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal/social skills, time management/organizational skills, confidence/self-esteem).

You just took the first step, and I’m so happy you did. Now if you allow me to, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and offer a preview into our work together. I am a psychologist with expertise in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, mood, personality, and trauma-related disorders. I balance my time between the private and public sectors and am currently the crisis team psychologist at St. Mary’s Hospital. I am also a Co-Founder and Co-Director of Elevate Psychotherapy and Wellness Clinic, a multidisciplinary team of mental health experts dedicated to exceptional psychological evaluations and care.
