About me and my therapy practice

With a calm disposition and respect, I offer non-judgemental support, compassion and empathic listening,to enable them share their experiences. I encourage them to work through their challenges, explore patterns of negative feelings and thoughts and / or  patterns of maladaptive behaviour and help them  find their way in life. I also work with people living with the following challenges : Dyslexia, Autism, cultural issues, anxiety, depression, or significant life events, such as grief by suicide, life transitions, health concerns, relationship issues, and trans gender. With empathetic understanding, acceptance, genuineness and other skills, I enable them develop their resources, becoming more empowered to make informed choices. I use different approaches to meet individual needs

I also work with clients living with drug addictions, and clients diagnosed with schizophrenia and support the family to work through high expressed emotions, enabling them achieve autonomy in their life, and independence in community settings.

I also offer therapy in French.

 I understand attending therapy can be overwhelming and hard, you are not alone. I am here to work alongside you. Therapy often involves exploring past experiences, enabling you making sense of your experiences, feeling heard, accepted, developing new ways of coping and enabling you feel at ease with yourself.
