Evidence-Based Therapy For Relationship and Emotional Wellbeing

I am a board-certified couple and family psychologist (ABPP) with specialized expertise in relationship distress, mood disorders, and anxiety. I help couples navigate recurring conflict, improve communication, rebuild connection, and develop new ways of responding to one another. I also work with individuals and families facing emotional difficulties, interpersonal challenges, and major life transitions.

​

My clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy, Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and Functional Family Therapy. These evidence-based approaches inform my work with couples experiencing relationship distress, individuals struggling with emotional difficulties, and families navigating adolescent behavioral concerns.

​

I also have expertise in gender-related issues, including the influence of gender role expectations on relationships and the challenges of balancing work and family responsibilities.

​

I provide psychotherapy and assessment services in both French and English for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with clients experiencing a range of concerns, including:

​

  • Relationship concerns: recurring conflict, communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, intimacy, separation, and divorce.

  • Emotional well-being: anxiety, depression, mood difficulties, and challenges coping with stress.

  • Family and parenting: family conflict, parenting challenges, adolescent behavioral concerns, and school-related difficulties.

  • Life transitions and personal growth: adjustment to major life changes, work-related stress, work-family balance, and personal development.

 

Whether you are seeking to strengthen your relationship, address emotional difficulties, or navigate a challenging transition, therapy can provide an opportunity to better understand your concerns, identify meaningful goals, and work toward change.

 

My Approach to Psychotherapy

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, interpersonal, and evidence-based, with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) providing the primary framework through which I understand psychological distress. I draw on specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy, Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and Functional Family Therapy to tailor treatment to each client's concerns, goals, and relationships.

​

I view thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships as interconnected. The ways we interpret experiences and respond to challenges influence how we feel and behave, while our relationships and broader environments shape how we understand ourselves and the difficulties we face. Because many emotional and behavioral difficulties unfold within our relationships, understanding these interpersonal patterns can be an important part of meaningful change.

​

In therapy, we work together to understand the difficulties you are experiencing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop and practice skills that support healthier ways of thinking, responding, and relating to others. My goal is not only to help you address current concerns, but also to strengthen your ability to navigate future challenges with greater confidence and flexibility.

​

What to Expect from Therapy

 

The length of treatment depends on the nature and severity of the concerns you wish to address, your goals, and your progress in therapy. Some concerns may be addressed in a relatively brief course of treatment, while others benefit from a longer-term approach. We will work together to identify meaningful goals, review progress, and determine the duration of treatment that best meets your needs.
