Ma mission est d’accompagner les individus et les couples vers plus d’harmonie intérieure et relationnelle.

Je sais ce que c’est de douter, de tout remettre en question, de se demander quel est le prochain pas à faire, et de trouver sa propre voie dans une myriade de possibilités où on éprouve souvent du découragement et de l’impatience. Forte de mon expérience de vie et dotée d’une personnalité fonceuse, dynamique et perspicace, j’ai aujourd’hui les ressources et une confiance de fond pour pouvoir vous guider pour trouver votre chemin individuel ou relationnel.

Forte de mon expérience de vie et dotée d’une personnalité fonceuse, dynamique et perspicace, j’ai aujourd’hui les ressources et une confiance de fond pour pouvoir vous guider pour trouver votre chemin individuel ou relationnel.

Et pendant qu’on marchera sur ce chemin ensemble, même si tout n’est pas clair, même si vous vous sentez perdu, démuni ou dépassé par les événements, nous explorerons vos ressources, vos forces, vos fonctionnements insatisfaisants, en utilisant des outils concrets pour vous-même ou votre couple (dyades, couples conventionnels et non-conventionnels) dans le but d’apporter un souffle nouveau à ce qui vous tient à cœur.

Comme thérapeute en relation d’aide, je travaille avec les individus et les couples/partenaires qui vivent des relations non-conventionnelles. Je travaille en français et anglais.

My mission is to support individuals and couples towards greater inner and relational harmony.

I know what it’s like to doubt, to question everything, to wonder what the next step should be, and to find your own way in a myriad of possibilities where one often feels discouraged and impatient.

With my life experience and my dynamic and insightful personality, today I have the resources and aligned confidence to be able to guide you in finding your individual or relational path.

And while we walk this path together, even if everything is not clear, even if you feel lost, helpless or overwhelmed by events, we will explore your resources, your strengths, your unsatisfactory patterns, using concrete tools for yourself or your relationship (dyads, conventional and non-conventional relationships) in order to breathe new life into what is important to you.

Ma mission est de permettre à mes clients de mieux communiquer pour vivre des relations saines et épanouissantes. J’ai eu moi-même des relations amoureuses compliquées dans lesquelles je me suis parfois perdu, sans prendre soin de moi et de mes besoins fondamentaux d’être aimé, sécurisé, et surtout écouté. Heureusement, j’avais cette petite partie en moi désirant la liberté d’exister, la liberté d’être moi dans l’authenticité, la liberté de dire ce que je ressentais face à l’autre malgré la peur de perdre et la peur du conflit.

Heureusement, j’avais cette petite partie en moi désirant la liberté d’exister, la liberté d’être moi dans l’authenticité, la liberté de dire ce que je ressentais face à l’autre malgré la peur de perdre et la peur du conflit. Aujourd’hui, quand je regarde en arrière, je suis reconnaissant envers ce besoin de liberté fort et naturel qui m’a, en quelque sorte, sauvé.

J’offre un espace de non-jugement et d’accueil inconditionnel aux couples/partenaires qui souhaitent vivre des relations plus épanouissantes.

Comme TRA, Thérapeute en relation d’aide par l’ANDC® je travaille avec les couples/partenaires qui vivent des relations non-conventionnelles. Je travail en français et en anglais.

English:

My mission is to enable my clients to communicate better in order to live healthy and fulfilling relationships. I myself had complicated romantic relationships in which I sometimes got lost, without taking care of myself and my basic needs to be loved, to feel safe, and above all, listened to.

With the years and my experience, I have acquired a solid professional practice. Firstly, thanks to a deep soul searching and also thanks to my ability to always want to learn more and acquire more techniques and methods to be happier in one’s life.

As a Relationship Therapist, TRA®, I work with individuals and couples/partners who live non-conventional relationships. I work in English and French.

My clinical approach is relational with psychodynamic principles, empowering my clients by challenging existing power structures. My ultimate objective as a therapist is to cultivate an environment where individuals can feel safe and supported. I love working with a diverse array of clients, including young adults and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As an anti-oppressive, queer, sex positive and gender expansive therapist, it is my priority to offer accessible therapy to all identities and experiences. I have worked in multiple settings where individuals were experiencing comorbidity relating to unresolved parts of identity & self and substance misuse. We can’t really just treat substance abuse without taking into account a person’s experience in the world as a queer person - That’s the moment I recognized the importance of prioritizing the opportunity for such growth.
