About
I am a Montreal-based clinical psychologist (PhD) licensed by the Order of Psychologists of Quebec (OPQ).
For as long as I can remember, I have felt drawn to the suffering of others, compelled to do what I could to alleviate their distress.
Whenever I’m asked, “How does it feel to be a psychologist?”, I respond, “Like home.” That is to say, at ease and on familiar ground. Earning your trust during a period of vulnerability is something I hold with great care.
During our initial sessions, we’ll work together to better understand what is contributing to your suffering. Then, with a personal treatment plan in place, we’ll take steps towards decreasing your distress and increasing your well-being.
My approach draws from a range of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, mindful self-compassion, humanistic and existential therapies, values-based approaches, and mindfulness.
Drawing from multiple therapeutic traditions allows me to adapt treatment to your particular needs and circumstances.
My practice as a licensed clinical psychologist in Quebec began in 2015. Prior to that, I spent five years as a clinical psychology intern providing psychotherapy in hospitals and clinics in Montreal and the United States.
As a young adult, I could often be found in the painting studios of Concordia or collecting broken glass for an art installation project while finding my way through a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I continue to value exploration, attunement, and careful observation.
My demeanor is calm and gentle, and my attention is undivided.
