Practice Description: |
Are you overwhelmed by anxiety and depression? Are you struggling to manage your emotions and symptoms? Maybe your struggle is impacting your relationships, and taking away your hope and objectives. You may know that you are not alone in your suffering. If you allow me, I will be here to help you. My goal is to help you transcend difficult life experiences, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and regain a sense of ease, peace, emotional balance. I work with individuals and groups in-clinic and on-line (via Skype) with a cognitive-behavioral, mindful, accepting, non-judgmental, and compassionate approach.
I specialize in cases that many other therapists shun from, including severe anxiety and major depression, teens and adults with emotional disturbance from abuse (psychological/physical/sexual abuse) or neglect; borderline personality disorder; psychotic disorders, self-harming behaviors, and suicidal ideation/behaviors. I conduct psychotherapy in both French and English.
I have a longstanding personal, clinical, and research expertise in mindfulness based approaches (including MBSR, MBCT, DBT, and ACT). I have been trained at Concordia University and the University of Montreal, I have a PhD in clinical psychology and I am pursuing a postdoctoral research at Harvard and McGill University.
