I was bord in Montreal and my need to see the horizon from a pebbled shore or a mountain ridge brought me to Squamish. Outside of my work, I enjoy runs in the woods, take care of my plot at the local community garden and explore solo or with friends. And just sitting with a cup of coffee and a good book can be plenty. 

I have been working in the mental health field for about 15 years and started my private practice in 2019. In addition to this, I work part-time for Foundry Virtual, where I provide counselling services to youth and young adults. 

A meeting with me is like having a conversation with someone who has your best interest in mind. Being a counsellor is more than just being an empathetic ear! I find helpful to have clear goals and articulate how ‘feeling better’ would look like for you. Our work starts from your needs and wants, and will be influenced by your individual strenghts, abilities and experiences. I ask for regular feedback to make sure that the process aligns with expectations. I may suggest some reading or exercices for you to do in between sessions. 

My counselling approach is trauma-informed and principaly influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I completed trainings on other therapeutic modalities that can be used depending on the situation, like solution-focused brief therapy or motivational interviewing. I have sought specifc education on ADHD and attachment. I am training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) which is a form of treatment specific for individuals who are struggling with trauma and PTSD. 

I engage in regular clinical supervision, peer consultation and continuing education to expand my knowledge and skills as a therapist. 

My office is safe for all genders, sexual orientation and ethnicities. 

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC# 15433).
