Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Quebec

From the first phone contact and the moment you walk through the office (or virtual) door, I will welcome you with a down-to-earth style, listening ear, a caring heart, and active coping support. Whether you struggle with anxiety, OCD, mood difficulties, tics, relationship troubles or other difficulties, you will feel safe, supported, and seen as you process your thoughts and feelings, develop new insight, and learn new skills to overcome your difficulties. With this approach, therapy can help restore your sense of calm, bring peace of mind, and foster a greater feeling of well-being in your daily life.

The goal for my clients is to help them understand and apply solutions that the field of psychology can offer. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavior therapy, with the flexibility of utilizing other approaches tailored to clients' needs or the specificity of the problem. An important element of therapy is positive psychology, encompassing personal growth and human development. Combined, these therapeutic orientations help clients develop thoughts and actions to help manage difficult situations or challenges they are facing. Importantly I also help clients gain new skills to feel better about themselves and the decisions they make in life.

When you are looking for a therapist, one of the most important things aside from training and approaches used is the personality fit! Over the years as a Psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some! For that reason, I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to choose from.

If you're considering seeing a psychologist, you're uncomfortable with something in your life. Maybe you've carried around a vague dissatisfaction with yourself, with others, or with life for as long as you can remember. Maybe you feel empty, hollow, or like some piece of you is missing. Maybe you feel full to bursting with rage, with pain, with despair. Maybe you've noticed that all your relationships tend to end the same way, but you're not sure why. Maybe you keep changing jobs, but never feel accomplished.

What doesn't heal repeats. You can stop the cycle now! When it comes to your health, mindset, relationships or success, you have tried everything to make it work, to solve your issues. But regardless of your hard work, nothing seems to work, and you feel stuck, uncertain, or dissatisfied. Now, It's your time to access the root causes of your problems, release them, and heal so that you can start living the life you've most desired.

The teen and young adult years can be tumultuous and fraught with challenges. Many young people experience difficulties during this time which can result in emotional, behavioral, social, academic and/or family issues. Therapy provides an opportunity to stop, reflect, and talk about issues confidentially and openly. I work individually with teens aged 14 and older, as well as adults, in an environment of compassion, non-judgement and respect. Clients and I work collaboratively to explore concerns, examine different perspectives, and work through challenges and obstacles to change, in order to make healthy choices.

I work in Hudson, 30 minutes from the West Island and about 20 from Vaudreuil. My areas of specialization are in the treatment of anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, addiction, chronic health problems and couple therapy. Many of my clients tend to be people-pleasers and/or perfectionists, which can predispose one to develop relationship difficulties, anger or burnout. I use psychological techniques that have been shown to work by the fields of psychology and psychiatry to help my clients resolve their problems, change dysfunctional thoughts and behaviours, and accept situations over which they have no control.
