My strong interest in individuals and the impact of society, culture on the development of personality led me to Concordia University where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts Joint Specialization Anthropology and Sociology and a minor in Psychology. A passion for mental health, advocacy, and counselling led me to McGill University’s Bachelor of Social Work and I subsequently obtained my psychotherapy practice permit from the Order of Quebec Psychologist.

I have practiced in the mental health field for 10 years in both the community and public sector. In a community mental health center, I have led psychotherapy groups incorporating an integrative trauma-informed mindfulness approach. In the public sector, as a Social Worker I worked on a CLSC Youth Mental Health team working with children, teens, and their families experiencing important mental health needs. In these settings, I have had leadership and teaching roles which have made me gain valuable insight into client’s needs and the impact of clinical interventions.

In my practice as a psychotherapist, I have an integrative approach that is Humanist at its core and integrates a range of approaches such as Psychodynamic, Eco-Systemic, and Existentialist. I also have clinical experience in a variety of evidence-based techniques, including trauma-informed Mindfulness Cognitive therapy (MBCT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). As such, I can inform our work together with evidence-based tools and self-reflexive exercises that can help you get to your chosen goals.

I am registered with the Order of Social Workers and Marriage and Family therapist of Quebec and have a psychotherapy permit from the Order of Psychologists of Quebec.
