My therapeutic approach centers on supporting individuals through anxiety, stress, and life's myriad challenges. I believe that life inevitably presents us with difficulties, and the only constant we can rely on is change. My goal is to help you find ways to manage these unexpected challenges, enabling you to grow and emerge stronger on the other side. I view every difficult situation as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Together, we will work to rise above these challenges, whether they are recent events or long-standing issues.

Sometimes we can feel isolated, invisible, abandoned, taken advantage of, and like a 'second-class citizen'. I understand that depression, anger, and anxiety are informed by our experiences and our social environments. I believe knowledge is power and together we can uncover the underlying issues that affect you in an empathic and non-confrontational atmosphere. I am a drama therapist in Montreal offering sessions for couples, individuals, and all ages (teens, children, and adults). Through creative art therapy, you can be in a non-judgmental atmosphere where you get to try on new roles and explore new ways of being and feeling.

I also work directly with children experiencing anger, anxiety, and social struggles.
Becoming a parent, and being flexible and resilient in how you parent your developing child, is one of life's greatest challenges. We are often unprepared, overwhelmed, and not well supported. Working with families with children of all ages, I specialize in helping strengthen the parent-child relationship. I provide tools to foster resilience and wellbeing, whether it be during periods of transition (e.g., prenatal/postpartum periods, transition to school, separation/divorce), or during regular day-to-day parenting. By helping you work through your struggles that arise with your children, you can raise happy, confident children.

Counselling is one of the most powerful instruments of change whether its depression, grief, anxiety, relational issues or seeking help due to feeling overwhelmed, unhappy and dissatisfied with life. Our distress and overwhelming emotions are often a wakeup call to alter how we function and adjust the choices we make in life. Within a safe and supportive therapeutic space, speaking aloud and verbalizing emotions, thoughts and behaviours will allow you to view them from a new perspective. We will find new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving while collaboratively creating new tools to work through life’s particular challenges.

Every day, you work hard to cultivate inner strength and resilience so you can alkemize the parts of your story that have been heavy with traumatic pain and betrayal. But sometimes, life gets so hard, you may struggle with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Or maybe you struggle to nurture your dreams and desires because of the hostile environments you move in, that reflect the complex realities of modern-day society. Or maybe you simply know there's more abundant joy out there for your soul to experience. You want to live a fuller life, and you want a compassionate healer who will walk this new path with you.

Helping you reconnect with Source through more conscious spiritual practice can ultimately reduce your stress and anxiety levels.
Nowadays, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are leaning on spiritual healers to attend to our mental health needs and more. While there is a lot of potential in alternative medicine, the chances of falling into the hands of the wrong healers where re-trauma occurs or even abuse, I offer Baraka Divine Healing as a corrective measure. Since 2013 after years of research and working with other consciousness experts worldwide, I developed Baraka Heart Activation.

Life changes and identity crises can be highly anxiety provoking. Whether there is a conflict at work or you've recently become a parent, stress can wreak havoc in your life and must be dealt with before the problems and symptoms become unmanageable.
Addressing feelings of sadness by yourself can lead to a loss of hope, but you need not deal with these emotions alone.
Physical symptoms can be as emotionally debilitating as mood disorders. Insomnia, chronic fatigue and chronic pain can all lead to emotional distress and cause mental health issues. Therapy may help uncover some solutions to these problems.

Over the years as a helping professional I realized that people care less about clever language and elaborate techniques and more about receiving sincere love and compassion, living hope and courage, honest feedback, and new perspectives. What proved to help is having the mutual trust to explore and work on intimate, sometimes painful topics, step-by-step. Together, we invite your strengths and natural wisdom to take the steering wheel of your life, letting go of the grasp of your fears and limiting self-beliefs. Together, we also help you chose and create new habits towards a better ways of being.

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
