About Me
I am a licensed psychologist and member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ), who offers psychotherapy to individuals and couples in both English and French. I work with adult clients struggling with anxiety (social, generalized, and performance), OCD, phobias, depression, stress management and burnout, self-esteem, life transitions, difficult or traumatic experiences, interpersonal difficulties, insomnia, sexual difficulties, and personal development.
My Approach to Therapy
I welcome clients with empathy and sincerity, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard and supported. I collaborate with and gently challenge clients to help them move towards their goals at their own pace. My clinical approach is integrative, evidence-based, and tailored to each client. It consists of elements from my training in humanistic, cognitive-behavioural (CBT, ACT, DBT), and emotion-focused therapies. Depending on each client’s needs, my approach can involve exploring significant life experiences, understanding clients’ beliefs, values, and relationships with themselves and others, identifying obstacles they are facing or behavioural patterns that are no longer helping them, and providing new perspectives, tools, therapeutic exercises, and resources to support them in making a change.
