Great to meet you!

Some experiences are difficult to put into words, cultural expectations, identity questions, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. I work with adults who want a thoughtful, culturally informed space to better understand what they’re experiencing and make meaningful changes. I offer therapy in English and French.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical and collaborative. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you build real tools, shift patterns that aren't working, and reconnect with what matters to you. I also use Motivational Interviewing, which means I'll spend as much time listening as talking. We'll move at a pace that works for you.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation. I'll ask what brought you here, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping therapy can do for you. You don't need to have your story organized before we start, most people don't. By the end, we'll have a shared sense of where to begin and what working together can look like.
