I conduct sessions in French & English in a caring manner to ensure couples, individuals & adolescents feel safe to explore and uncover the patterns that are impacting their satisfaction or keeping them stuck. Together we can make sense of your life, help you explore past and present hardships, learn new tools and access your strengths so that you can make better decisions, stop reoccurring behaviors and feel healthier. Your treatment will be tailored to meet your unique personality & goals. You don't need to be alone in your fears, pain, sadness, thoughts, or confusion. You can get through whatever you are dealing with- Let's talk.
I work with individuals suffering from complex trauma, abusive relationships, anxiety, panic, depression, mood disorders, grief & loss to name a few. I enjoy helping couples using Gottman, EFT, and attachment theory. My work is informed by psychodynamic, IFS, & CBT. I'm invested in seeing, hearing, & helping anyone- culture, age, gender, race, ethnicity.
Life can be challenging and my goal is to help you make sense of your feelings and patterns. I help couples hear each other differently, and find the emotional connection beneath the hurt and anger. In individual work, I facilitate self-exploration so that you may gain awareness and new tools to forge a path towards greater life satisfaction and fulfillment.
