About Me
A principle that guides me, both personally and professionally, is a simple mission: to hear the unheard and see the unseen. I carry this mission into the therapy room by building relationships in which people can feel genuinely heard and welcomed in the fullness and complexity of who they are. My academic journey began at Université de Saint-Boniface and the University of Manitoba and now continues through doctoral training in Counselling Psychology at McGill University, shaping how I approach my work as a therapist-in-training at Psychologia Clinic. My practice is currently supervised by Dr. Jean-François Jodouin and guided by his decades of experience in the field.
I see the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of meaningful therapy. My aim is to create a space where we can slow down, pay closer attention to what is happening within and between us, and make sense of what may be difficult to understand or put into words. I approach this process with warmth and curiosity, making room for complexity without rushing toward easy explanations or predetermined answers.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, shaped by the needs of the person in front of me rather than by any single model. I draw from cognitive-behavioural (CBT), acceptance-based (ACT), emotion-focused (EFT), psychodynamic, humanistic/existential, and mindfulness-based approaches. Across these traditions, I am especially drawn to helping people relate to their inner experience with greater awareness and compassion, while remaining attentive to the wider contexts that shape their lives.
Alongside my clinical training, my doctoral research examines how religion and spirituality can shape identity and mental health, particularly among 2S/LGBTQIA+ people and communities, and explores mindfulness and compassion as pathways to wellbeing. I also welcome these areas in therapy.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and offer therapy to both individuals and couples. I have experience supporting people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, including complex trauma, relationship challenges, concerns related to sexuality and intimacy, and workplace stress. My experience also includes helping clients explore the role of religion and spirituality in their lives, including related questions, tensions, and sources of meaning.
