  • LinkedIn

A clinical psychologist since 1989 and a member of the College of Psychologists and Behavior Analysts of Ontario , psychotherapy is at the heart of my professional practice. I offer services based on a rigorous needs assessment and focused on achieving meaningful and lasting change in a compassionate and collaborative environment.

Throughout my professional career, I have developed a

I have expertise in working with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and complex trauma. In addition, I regularly conduct psychological assessments for refugees seeking protection in Canada.

I have worked in private practice and also for over 10 years at Toronto's Francophone multi-service organization, the Centre francophone de Toronto (CFT). In my roles as director of the René Laennec Psychology Centre in Montreal and later as director of the CFT's mental health module, I specialized in implementing strategies to promote well-being in the workplace, specifically for professionals exposed to the traumatic content of their clients' experiences.

In addition to my individual consultations, I offer conferences and workshops to various professional groups on essential topics such as the prevention and management of chronic stress, secondary trauma and compassion fatigue, burnout, and a series of workshops on mindfulness practice. In this area of my professional activities, I collaborate with Tend Academy.

Finally, always on the lookout for new intervention strategies in psychotherapy, I continue to receive French-speaking and English-speaking adults who are working towards achieving their personal, relational and professional balance goals.

We also offer our telepsychology services in English to residents of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
