About Me
I am a clinical psychologist and member of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec (OPQ). My PhD research examined the role of friendships in the well-being of young adults. I am especially interested in the impacts of healthy relationships on mental and physical health.
My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning that I draw from a variety of research-supported approaches including Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Compassion-Focused therapies, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused therapy (EFT), Mentalization-Based therapy (MBT) and Humanistic/Existential therapy.
My work is also informed by current research in psychology, in the areas of social psychology and neuroscience. Above all I strongly value genuineness, respect, and warmth in the therapeutic relationship. I believe in working creatively and collaboratively with each client to tailor meaningful interventions to match their specific narratives and challenges.
I specialize in the following areas:
-
Couple and communication issues
-
Sexual problems (genital pain, low desire/arousal, premature ejaculation, performance anxiety, out-of-control sexual behaviour)
-
PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
-
Interpersonal difficulties
-
Mood difficulties
-
Anxiety and stress
-
Perfectionism
-
Distress related to medical illness
-
Identity issues and life transitions
I work with individuals, couples, and groups.
