Trauma Focused Therapists in Montréal, QC
I am queer, neurodivergent and a parent. I have 13 years of clinical experience in psychiatric, addictions, relational and childhood trauma and community work. My first language is English. I work to help people integrate their thoughts, emotions, somatic experiences and stories of empowerment so they can make sense of the world during these difficult times. I have worked with issues such as Depression, Stress Management, CPTSD, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Gender Dysphoria, Eating Disorders, Addictions, BPD and PTSD. I believe people are more than their diagnosis. Psychiatry must be deconstructed for us to find our true potential.

I specialize in working with immigrant adults and first-generation youth facing depression and anxiety. Using my training in movement and drama therapy, clients are supported in creating a safe space to explore mindfulness, body awareness, boundary setting, self-discovery and recovering from difficult relationships. As a brown therapist, I bring unique insights and perspective that allow clients to better navigate between cultures, integrate into western society without losing touch with their heritage while safely processing deep trauma and microaggressions.

If you are struggling with relationship and interpersonal issues, life changes, substance use, and/or trauma, I hope to help you. I use a nonjudgemental, empathic and integrative approach depending on your needs and values. Because feelings and experiences often manifest through the body, we will pay attention to physical experiences with compassion and curiosity.

People-pleasers, perfectionists, worriers, and warriors ages 16 to 66: this is your call to action. You want to be more in touch with yourself but you have been held back by anxiety, trauma, and people taking advantage of you. As part of the LGBTQ2IA+ and geeky communities, you sometimes feel like you're cast aside and rarely understood. It is so tempting to give up, but you continue to persevere! You've been fighting on your own for so long that now you're ready for some more support from someone who won't ask you to educate them about being queer/the MCU/BDSM/pop culture references.
