I work with individuals on issues such as: anxiety, depression, self-harm, post partum, trauma, ADHD, relational, family issues, stress, major life-changes, emotional regulation, acceptance, and burnout.
English and French. Stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions are common difficulties experienced by most people. However, when these issues begin to negatively impact your life or become too much to handle, we need help identifying tools and strategies to resolve these issues and achieve our goals. We can work together to find the right tools and skills to cope, grow, and reconnect with yourself and loved ones. As a therapist, I value your lived experiences and work with the approaches that best fit my client’s needs. Please get in touch so we can discuss how I can help you, your child or your couple.

Research towards my book "Multidimensional Healing" soon to be published by Austin Macauley revealed that unresolved childhood trauma underlies many common mental, emotional & physical health issues such as PTSD, ADD, anxiety, depression, chronic hypertension & auto-immune diseases. Therefore, I have trained in the trauma resolution methods EMDR, Internal Family Systems & Somatic Experiencing designed to reactivate embodied psychic trauma & facilitate its release. These methods are life-changing when they release the trauma blocking the flow of vitality, love and well-being.

I use a range of different therapies and have training in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
My work is guided by curiosity, connection and is rooted in values of authentic collaboration. My therapeutic foundations are rooted within relational, client-directed, strengths perspective, trauma-informed, feminist and structural frameworks. With a deep sense of compassion and respect, I seek to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space that facilitates self-awareness, healing and growth. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to untangle patterns that are serving you, and patterns you may be interested in moving beyond.
