Depuis plus de 15 ans, j’ai œuvré dans le domaine communautaire, éducationnel et privé en tant que travailleuse sociale et psychothérapeute. J’accompagne des familles et des individus (adultes et adolescents) dans un processus de changement visant à soulager la souffrance et à développer un équilibre de vie saine. Ma pratique est ancrée dans une perspective humaniste, bienveillante et axée sur la collaboration. Les consultations se déroulent dans le respect et sont fondées sur une approche anti-oppressive. Elles demeurent ainsi ouvertes aux communautés diverses, telle la communauté LBGT2SQ.

Bonjour et bienvenue! En tant que praticienne, j'oeuvre à soutenir mes client à se construire une vie ou ils/elles se sentent épanouie, et qui reflète tout ce qui leurs est important, malgré les défis et les épreuves. La compassion, la collaboration et la justice sociale me sont très importantes, et je cherche toujours à cultiver un espace chaleureux et sans jugement ou nous pouvons s’ouvrir à la curiosité et à l’exploration. J’offre une perspective critique, intersectionnelle, et anti-oppressive, car je crois que nos vécus et nos difficultés sont étroitement liés au systèmes sociales, politiques et économiques qui nous entourent.

Living in a fast-paced society can often make us feel burned-out, chronically anxious, depressed and alienated from those we love the most. Too often, we are "working for the weekend", and when it comes we have precious little time to spend doing the things that bring us meaning and strengthen our most important relationships. I approach mental health issues as arising primarily from our needs being inadequately met by the community and world around us. So there's a disconnect between how we evolved and where we are now. I also do ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with the Canadian Centre For Psychedelic Healing.

I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with a range of other therapeutic components that are research informed.

Many of us struggle with low mood, anxiety and the effects of trauma. Coping with these challenges can often lead us to behave in ways that we are not proud of, ways that do not reflect who we truly are. Having a professional, experienced in navigating some of theses challenges can help.

If you struggle with your self-esteem, inner critics, trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression and/or relationship challenges, then I am happy you are here. Therapy is all about finding the right fit for you. And when you find that right fit, therapy can be absolutely life-changing. I love to describe therapy as that safe place to land and explore. A time and space where you can show up just as you are and feel seen & heard. A space and time where you are encouraged to explore things in a new way. A space and time that shows you the light. I feel so grateful to have entered my 20th year as a therapist.

Substance Use Counsellors
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
