In my work, I use a creative and mindful approach to assist individuals, couples and families in working through personal obstacles and identifying the factors that often lead to frustration and a feeling of being stuck. My commitment to you as a therapist is to understand you and assist you in developing techniques that will create preferred experiences in your life.

I offer counselling services in a wide range of personal and professional concerns to adults and adolescents.

Bonjour! J’offre également mes services en français. Au plaisir de vous rencontrer!
