As a psychologist, I take a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach. I draw from evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to support emotional well-being, build practical life skills, and strengthen self-compassion.

Everyday life presents us with different challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. The next step in preserving your mental and physical health is making a decision to reach out and find a professional who will provide you with a safe environment; an environment where you will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to and understood. I want to provide you with that safe environment and give you the necessary support to deal with challenges you face. I want to give you time and space to share with me your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions.

My training as a psychologist has been continuous over the 30 years I have been in practice.

I have advanced training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotional Based therapy and Couples therapy.

Sometimes life’s up’s and downs feel really hard. Relationships can be challenging, and it’s hard to understand what gets in the way of peace and happiness. As a psychologist I am trained to assist you in figuring out how to get life back on track. I incorporate faith and spirituality with psychological principle to assist you in letting go of limiting thoughts and reconnecting to your Wise/Devine Self. Why a psychologist? Psychologists generally have more extensive education and clinical training than counsellors and are able to address more complex issues.

I’m a bilingual registered psychologist, and I offer sessions in both French and English. I love supporting adults and first responders as they navigate life’s challenges with warmth and understanding. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I recognize how past experiences can shape how we feel, think, and connect with others today — often in ways we don’t even realize. Together, we’ll create a safe, trusting space to explore what you’ve been through with compassion rather than judgment. I see reactions like shutting down, feeling on edge, or disconnecting, not as flaws, but as ways your system has tried to keep you safe. In our work, you’ll learn gentle ways to calm your body, understand your emotions. The focus isn’t on what’s “wrong” with you, but on what’s happened to you.

I help clients by listening intently to what a client is struggling with in life. I try to formulate a complex understanding of what the problem is and then consider how best to address it. Once we have collaboratively identified the problem, we begin to strategize ideas for how to see change that is possible and sustainable for the client. There are many ways to find an adequate solution to a problem, but the point of working with a psychologist is to have these ideas tailored to your personality.

Psychology focuses on understanding our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours and making sense of our past, present, and future to understand more about why we are the way we are, but also to help shape growth into the type of life we want to live. Working with a psychologist means you will have the chance to learn more about yourself, understand long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, or acting, and take charge of your future. I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, EFT and EMDR to help customize a plan that supports your unique goals. You can expect to leave each session with new insights or new ideas to put into practice to help you feel better and live life more fully outside of therapy sessions.

I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies/skills, while simultaneously working through the causes of issues so that symptoms reduce in the long term. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving awareness and regulation of emotions, identifying parts of yourself that are in conflict, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone's' needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach. I integrate therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

My approach to working with clients is a collaborative, client-centered approach. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves, however when we are in a state of being overwhelmed we need support to work through our struggles. I am able to provide guidance to help you achieve a better understanding of what is going on for you, strategies that will be helpful in your daily life, and empowerment to feel confident in your ability to move forward healthily. I work with my clients based on their worldview and life experience, respecting the fact that we all come to a process of healing with different perspectives. I work to make my therapeutic model fit for the client, as opposed to having the client fit the model. This support is provided...(view profile to read more)

As a psychologist I have been trained to understand and continue to study the relationship between the brain, the nervous system, personality and behavior. To understand the whole of the psyche in relationship to the contributing factors of society supports better mental health outcomes. As a psychologist I am rooted in the science of brain and behavior and as a human being I recognize that there is a whole lot more to this experience of being alive.
