Online Counselling for Montréal

I am a sexologist, member of the Ordre des sexologues du Québec (OPSQ). I offer counselling in English and in French to help you improve, maintain, or restore your sexual health. I can help you navigate sexual and relationship difficulties, questions about your sexual orientation or gender identity as well as reproductive health issues. Through my studies in psychology, I have also gained extensive knowledge of mental health disorders. Using an intersectional and trauma-informed approach, I aim to create a judgment-free space centered on your experience in order to support you towards a more fulfilling sexuality.

My memory's not what it used to be - should I be worried? I can't seem to get organized and my family is frustrated with me - What's the problem and what can I do about it? Since the accident, I'm struggling at work - What's going on and how can I make things better? I've been wondering for a while now if I might be on the autism spectrum - Is it possible? These are the kinds of questions people ask me as a clinical neuropsychologist.

Hey, too many profiles and you're tired? Let me make it easy for you :) My 'things' are: discovering true-self (who are you, really?), increasing confidence, and helping overachievers love themselves the way they are. I also work with people who experience immigration and cultural adaptation challenges. No matter what blockages you're facing, my job is to help you discover your power for change and accompany you through this transformative journey. Let's find the SPRING in you :)

Congratulations on taking this important first step. I’m pleased to have the opportunity to introduce myself and collaborate to enhance your wellbeing. I’m a psychologist with specialized expertise in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, mood, personality, and trauma-related disorders. My professional experience spans both the private and public sectors, including my current role as the crisis team psychologist at St. Mary’s Hospital. I’m also the Co-Founder and Co-Director of Elevate Psychotherapy and Wellness Clinic, where our multidisciplinary mental health team is dedicated to providing exceptional evaluations and care.

Vous vous sentez actuellement épuisé-e, submergé par le stress, la pression, et vous ressentez même parfois un terrible sentiment d'abattement. Peut-être que l’inquiétude, l’anxiété sont présents chaque jour qui passe. Vous n'en pouvez plus de cette vie de souffrance et vous souhaitez retrouver la joie de vivre. Contactez-moi pour qu'on en parle. Cela ne coûte rien. You are currently feeling exhausted, overwhelmed by stress and pressure, and sometimes experiencing a terrible sense of despair. Perhaps worry and anxiety are present every day. If you are fed up with this life of suffering and wish to regain joy in life, contact me

Are you, or a loved one, suffering from disordered eating? Is your relationship with food and body image getting in the way of the life that you want? Are you feeling powerless, dicouraged or scared at the idea of breaking the vicious cycle that has been at the center of your life for too long? Are you feeling ambivalent about change, and would like a safe place to share your thoughts and emotions with an experienced therapist? You are not alone. Despite the challenging journey, full recovery is possible. Seeking professional help towards recovery and wellnes is well worth it.

As a clinical psychologist, I understand that life's journey can be full of unexpected twists and turns, and I'm here to offer guidance and support along the way. My approach combines clinical expertise with empathy and understanding, empowering you to cope with life’s challenges. By providing tailored evidence-based strategies, I aim to promote resilience, improve quality of life, and facilitate holistic healing. Together, we'll embark on a journey towards living a more meaningful and fulfilling life, grounded in authenticity and enhanced emotional well-being.

Disconnection, frustration, feeling stuck, and losing hope can all lead to seeking support for relief. Through careful exploration and connective discussion, we can resolve the issues getting in the way with compassion, commitment, and expansion. Learn how to understand and put words to needs, painful events, and traumatic experiences. Make helpful sense of your situation through the emotions, behaviours, thoughts, and beliefs that accompany it, and learn how to respond in meaningful and fulfilling ways to overcome whatever barriers.

I'm a dedicated clinical counsellor and coach with a passion for empowering women to navigate the complexities of modern life. With over 15 years of experience in counseling and stress management, I provide a compassionate and evidence-based approach to help you achieve effective stress management solutions. My practice focuses on addressing the unique challenges faced by women who juggle multiple roles, such as being a mom, partner, professional, and caregiver as I understand that balancing these responsibilities can often lead to feelings of overwhelm and stress.

The heart of great therapy starts with creating a sense of safety and comfort - and being offered the opportunity to express, understand and gain mastery over one's thoughts, feelings and behavior. There is genuine respect for the person's or couple's inherent strengths and capacities to engage in a process of change and growth. A mutual, clear understanding of the difficulties and challenges as well as the motivations, goals and expectations of the client guides the development and achievement of realistic, coherent and obtainable treatment goals - as well as greater functionality, well-being, performance and emotional stamina.

I have over 25 years experience, and extensive training specializing in therapy with people whose relationships have become places of fear, insecurity, and loneliness, where bonds of emotional safety, trust and intimacy have gradually eroded. I offer a short-term, emotionally focused approach (EFT) that's scientifically proven and highly successful in creating greater closeness, a way back to the heart of your relationship. When the connection that you'd hoped to depend on forever seems lost, replaced by distance and confusion, I can help you rekindle intimacy and compassion, a secure bond you can depend on even in hard times.

Bonjour/Hello, and welcome to my PT Therapy Directory profile page. I am a PhD clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience - and a member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec. I help people with anxiety, stress, depression (or loss of a loved one), eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder), and individuals or couples with relationship difficulties. I believe in building a collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients, and in using scientifically-proven therapy practices to get the best results. I can help if you would like to talk about the difficulties you or your loved ones are facing.

Sometimes "expecting" is not what you expect! If you are thinking about having a baby, struggling to conceive, are pregnant or are within your first year postpartum and are concerned about your experience, I can help. Sometimes too and tragically, pregnancies don't always end with a happy outcome. Whichever situation you are facing, I can offer you both individualized support or in a group setting so that you don't feel alone and isolated in your current struggle. I work collaboratively with my clients and my style is very conversational. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease in coming to therapy.

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.

As a Psychotherapist & Clinical sexologist she works with clients struggle with emotional problems, affectional dependency, jealousy, fear of intimacy and loneliness; and various problems such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image. She works with couples struggle with separation, conflict, anger, jealousy, intimacy and conversation problems. Relationship begins with hope and love leads to suffering and frustration. Despite the strong urge for intimacy and closeness, couples have no choice but to leave the relationship. Gain insight into repetitive destructive patterns is the first step towards self knowing and improvement.

People often seek therapy when they would like to work on issues such as stress management, personal loss or life cycle changes. In individual therapy, I support clients by providing specific strategies for changing unwanted behaviours or thoughts. A couple in distress may feel there is no way out of their troubled relationship. By observing the interactions between the partners I help couples change dysfunctional behaviours, strengthen friendship, increase intimacy, resolve problematic patterns of communication, improve emotional attachment, build resilience and enjoyment that each partner derives from the relationship.
