Family Therapy in Montréal, QC

Are you or your child/teen feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or burned out? Would you like to change unhealthy habits, improve your relationships, self-esteem, and communication skills? Are you having difficulty adapting to a new environment/life transition? Today's fast-paced society can be difficult to survive and thrive in, especially if you are juggling multiple roles or experiencing life transitions, such as changing careers or starting life in a new city/country. It can be scary to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who can speak your language and really connect with you.

ON-LINE/Virtual Sessions. I've been a psychotherapist and Trauma Specialist for at least 30 years offering treatments such as EMDR, CBT, Talk Therapy, IFS among other approaches to healing. In my private practise, I enjoy working with clients who are open and willing to make positive changes in their lives. Whether you feel anxious, stuck, depressed or unhappy in some area of your life, my initial goal is to help you gain a feeling of safety. I encourage clients to tell me their story to help them see things from a fresh perspective, improve self-awareness and find practical solutions to life's challenges.

I focus on helping my clients make a difference in their lives. I work with people seeking individual, couples or family counselling. I focus on improving an individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviour, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions, and to improve relationships and social skills. I use cognitive behavioural, as well as humanist, person-centred, and existential approaches in psychotherapy. My approaches aim at developing the client's insight, or self-understanding focusing on issues such as choice, meaning, and responsibility.

Difficult life challenges and decisions can be overwhelming. Clients can feel stuck and directionless. I have a real capacity to help clients gain better understanding and create change. I have a Masters in Counselling, McGill University and am a certified Executive/Life Coach. Clients can have challenges that benefit not just from awareness or insight but also need behavioural change. I facilitate clients to learn practical skills and explore issues more deeply. Having lived and worked overseas for 10 years in several different countries means I have cultural awareness. I am skilled at picking out the real issues and concerns.

If you are struggling in your life, and want a safe, supportive environment in which to gain insight and coping skills, I would like to help you achieve that. My clients tell me they feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives, whether it be in their behaviour (addictions, impulsivity, activation), thinking and emotional patterns (anxiety, depression, stress) or relationships (couple difficulties, parenting, family of origin).

My life’s work has been about empowering individuals that suffer. Whether it be supporting individuals that have experienced trauma, or struggle with their identity, this work has been about being a witness and a guide to transformation. I have been practicing over twelve years as a Psychologist and, although no longer a midwife, I practiced as one for more than five years in the Inuit communities of Nunavik, in northern Quebec.

clinique entourfamille(TM) is a multi-disciplinary private clinic that supports children and their families by providing guidance and solutions for developmental, social and academic growth. With a focus on the overall well-being of children and adolescents, our team of caring and highly qualified professionals addresses communication, behavioral, social, motor, psychological, sensory processing and academic skills.

Welcome! Do you need guidance to help launch you into the next phase of your life? Feeling lost or unsure of how to proceed? Are you struggling with addiction or recurrent self-sabotaging patterns? I will help you determine what is holding you back from being the person you are meant to be and where your blocks are. I use a holistic method, looking at the entire person- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual and offer a variety of healing and coaching tools. Client's will be met where they are, with a personalized program adapted to fit their unique self and situation. Whatever your situation, we can work on a plan together.

If you struggle with never feeling good enough, perfectionism, or frequent burnout from people pleasing, you’re not alone. Maybe you grew up playing a role in your family that you’re trying to grow out of, but find yourself stuck, repeating old patterns as an adult. I’m here to help. Some things we may explore include: bottled up feelings or unmet needs, what motivates you to behave or think in certain ways, setting effective boundaries, and letting go of what no longer serves you. This work makes it possible for you to heal old wounds, end painful cycles, enjoy more satisfying relationships, and make way for your authentic self.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and couple & family therapist, offering psychotherapy services to individuals, couples & families. My practice is attachment-based and trauma informed. It integrates different therapeutic approaches, elements from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness and Compassion, to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I work with clients struggling with all types of life cycle transitions such as parenthood, co-parenting challenges, separation/divorce and those undergoing or affected by a chronic illness or a disability. I am also experienced in bereavement (grief) therapy.

I want to help you live a more meaningful life where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Healthy, fulfilling and authentic relationships with ourselves & others are the key to wellbeing. Change is possible when we are willing and feel safe enough to explore ourselves, our relationships & the patterns that arise in those interactions. Using a warm, collaborative, strength-based, culturally sensitive & trauma sensitive approach, I aim to help you develop an increased understanding of yourself & deepen a sense of connection in your most meaningful relationships.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons: to get help for mental health challenges, to process traumatic experiences, to get support in relation to big life transitions or external stressors... Whatever the reason, finding a therapist who is a good fit for you is the first step. Whether I'm working with individuals, couples, or families, I start with an approach that is trauma-informed and mindful of how our relationships and larger systems impact us.

I have been working with children, adolescents, adults and athletes for over thirty years as a Clinical Psychologist in the Montreal area and extensive experience helping individuals with issues such as anxiety, depression, personal and family difficulties, and performance-related issues in athletes. My basic approach is pragmatic in that I help individuals develop a better understanding of the reasons that are responsible for feeling poorly, and more importantly, to develop strategies that will have a long-lasting, positive effect.

At the heart of my practice is an enduring commitment to provide a genuine, warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and heard. Whether you are facing difficulties as an individual, couple, family, or relational system, I will offer you a caring environment where your strengths will be emphasized and where, together, we can explore meaning making to bring about change.
