If today seems like an interminable day, and sets the stage for a profound apprehension for tomorrow, whether individually, within your couple or your family; it is maybe time to consult. Whomever you choose, be sure to be comfortable and feel safe. If you are interested in someone who has a compassionate ear and a reassuring expertise, perhaps we could work collaboratively at finding ways to foster harmony, confidence and peace for you and your close ones. Trained as Couple and Family Therapist at Syracuse University, I work as much with couples, families as individuals.

I am trained and experienced in working with a wide range of mental health issues. My areas of practice include adjustment, anxiety, bereavement and grief, depression, relationship difficulties and parental management training, providing guidance and support for parents looking to raise emotionally resilient children. I also work with individuals seeking to learn more about themselves and their purpose. Over the last decade, I have worked extensively with adults who feel like they have lost their sense of purpose. Assisting my clients to re-discover their true selves has enhanced my passion for psychotherapy.

Do you struggle with feeling lonely, misunderstood, or overwhelmed? Do you often feel lost and confused, unsure of what’s holding you back from the life you desire? You may experience low self-esteem, believe you don’t deserve better, or feel that something is inherently wrong with you. Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers, and lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I help clients who want better but don't know how.

Whether you are struggling with a long-standing issue or are in acute distress, you will find me to be an empathetic counsellor who will take the time to learn about your particular story in order to best support you. No two people or two situations are alike and therapy must similarly be tailored to the individual's needs. I will do this by first meeting you where you are and working at your pace to move in the direction you see for yourself. In the process, you will develop alternate perspectives and learn techniques to challenge self-defeating thoughts or behaviours that hold you back from living authentically.

Over the course of 15 years working in the community sector I have had the pleasure of working with people from many diverse communities, be they BIPOC, on a fixed-income, LGBTQIA2S+, or diagnosed with a disability. I believe that everyone, regardless of their circumstance, deserves the opportunity to be heard. My hope is that by providing a supportive space you will have the opportunity to heal yourself and your relationships with your family and community.

Life sometimes imposes overwhelming challenges that cause us feel lost and believe there is no choice but to suffer. When we are in the midst of a crisis it is not always easy to see a way out. However, in these circumstances, there is often an opportunity for personal growth. It is at this time that a professional may help you identify inner obstacles preventing you from moving forward and experiencing life to its fullest. I see my role as helping clients with that. My clinical practice focuses on individuals and couples from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.

I am trained to help adults, children and adolescents better cope with a wide variety of emotional, relational and personal challenges. If you are feeling overwhelmed, out-of touch with yourself or generally unhappy and enjoy a genuine conversation with another person, willing to reach out to help, then I believe we would be a good fit. I developed an eclectic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy, heavily influenced by humanistic/existential, positive psychology, CBT and solution focused approach.

As an accomplished psychologist, I have consistently helped my clients achieve meaningful progress in the areas that matter most to them, from quieting nagging worries to maximizing potential, and navigating relationships with ease. At its core, therapy is about discovery; it involves going on a journey into our interior to arrive at a deeper understanding of ourselves. Our combined efforts and collaboration will expedite this.

I follow with my client the main steps and events of his life story ( including if it, s the case immigration story), the mournings in waiting or which are difficult to do, the psychotraumatic sequellae which deteriorate his life day by day. With my client I notice his main reactions and how he is managing his personal and social life. I suggest to my client to identify the changes he wants to bring in his life and I try to show him how he could succeed in and how I can help him to succeed.
