Language of service: English, French and Portuguese
Accepting new clients In person or Virtual
I work closely with individuals to provide a nurturing, non-judgemental space enabling clients to work toward their therapeutic goals, harness their strengths, and ultimately regain a sense of confidence, wellbeing and empowerment in life.
I offer individual, couple and family counselling services in English, French or Portuguese. In-person and virtual sessions are available. I also provide psychosocial assessments in view of homologating a mandate of protection or establishing protective measures (tutorship) for incapacitated adults. My professional background includes substantial clinical experience in counselling a diverse clientele (teens and adults) in the health and social work sector, in addition to family mediation, crisis and group intervention in a mental health setting.
My expertise encompasses helping clients struggling with several psychiatric diagnosis (burn out, anxiety, depression, post-partum depression, fibromyalgia, ADHD), life transitions (grief, separation/divorce, immigration, employment loss, school adaptation), marital and family conflict, behavioural difficulties (anger management, impulsivity) and substance related concerns.
My practice is attachment and trauma informed and steam from several evidence-based approaches: humanistic, narrative, systemic and cognitive behavioural therapy. I also work closely with clients to provide culturally sensitive services.
Your wellbeing matters! Don’t hesitate to reach out for support!
