Accepting new clients - Struggling with anxiety, life stressors, relationship issues, trauma, or seeking overall mental well-being? I am here to support you. I believe everyone has the innate capacity to create meaningful change in their lives. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. My therapeutic approach is rooted in person-centred therapy. However, the human experience can be complex & unique to each person; therefore, I also use a unique blend of approaches such as somatic interventions, CBT, mindfulness & meditation, psychodynamics, & a polyvagal-based approach.

It would be great to find support to navigate the ups and downs without having to constantly educate your therapist about your experiences, and what it means to live in your body. You're looking for someone who will really listen, who affirms you and cares about your well-being and who will be there to help you define your life on your own terms.

Whether it's a new baby, the loss of a loved one, a betrayal, tension in relationships, or a recent relocation... sometimes we lose our footing. You may find that your usual coping tools are no longer bringing you the same relief. Unlike blogs and books that offer one-size-fits-all advice, or unlike your friends and family who mean well, but are too emotionally-invested to give you clear guidance, I offer you effective tools, unique to your needs and situation, in a non-judgmental and safe space. I’m a bilingual (English & French) somatic psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Quebec, Colorado and California.

As a licensed psychologist and certified Jungian psychoanalyst, I have had extensive experience with different problematics. Reasons for consulting may be various, but it always leads us to confront an unacknowledged part of ourselves, in a word, our own unconscious shadow.

After many years as an educator and a professional musician, I returned to university and completed an MA in Counselling Psychology. My experience in neurofeedback, which began in 2007, led me to want to pursue studies in counselling in order to offer a more complete therapeutic experience for my clients. I currently work in a dual diagnosis mental health and rehab centre, but my private clients consult primarily for anxiety, ADHD, sleep and trauma related motivational problems. The combination of counselling with neurofeedback, hypnosis, and EMDR-based bilateral stimulation therapies is very helpful.

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.

Do you feel anxious about the future? Have you recently left or been forced to leave your home country? Do you dwell on negative thoughts, or are unable to enjoy the present moment? Do you tend to worry a lot? Whether we want it or not, relocating can cause a mini psychological "earthquake". The problem is when our emotions and thoughts take control and become so intense they cause suffering and ruin our lives. No matter what your situation is, therapy is a great place to build a secure sense of self that helps you feel calm and centered even through the most difficult times.

Accepting New Clients! Welcome. If you're here, life might be hard right now. It might have been this way for a long time. What you're feeling makes sense. It might be challenging to feel like yourself. Perhaps who you truly are is yet to be discovered. To genuinely feel connected and to understand who we are, we need to understand how our past and present contexts shape the way we respond to difficulties. Sometimes, these protective measures no longer serve us. Perhaps it's time for a change so that we can move forward in healthy ways and toward empowering relationships.
