Are you fatigued of battling in an endless loop, feeling helpless and angry, waking up in the middle of the night, experiencing flashbacks and anxiety, and feeling exhausted, depressed, and hopeless? Do you find your water glass always overflowing, no matter what you do to alleviate the stress that is occurring in your life. 

Have you commenced using negative coping mechanisms such as alcohol, Netflix, food or narcotics to numb away the pain that you’re experiencing on a daily basis. Sometimes life throws us wicked curveballs, testing our strength and weaknesses, where we often feel like we are constantly stuck in a dark place feeling hopeless. I would love to walk alongside you, and help you build and gain the strength and confidence to defeat life’s battles.

With my empathetic, non-judgmental and helping personality, I am able to create a safe environment for you to feel comfortable in this journey. Through my own personal experience, I know that life can be cruel, but there is always a helping hand that will guide you out of the darkest days. I highly value therapeutic relationships and believe it is the key to making the journey easier. I am here to help you build resilience, to connect with your emotions, reprocess your trauma and regain your sense of self that has been lost in your traumatic experiences.

I hold two Master degrees, one in Psychology from the United Kingdom and a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Canada. I have four years experience working with incarcerated youth and applying CBT. I also have experience using other interventions such as SFBT, EFT, TF-CBT, Client-Centred approach and others. Finally, I have my training certification for clinical interventions for cPTSD such as EMDR and am biligual in french and english.  

Choosing to start your journey and choosing the perfect person to experience those dark moments with, can be frightening. Life’s a climb, but the view is great, and hopefully I can be the one to show you that.
