Background Information

I have done extensive work with individuals, couples, and families and have conducted numerous group therapy sessions.  I have also lectured on transcultural therapy issues at conferences as well as being a guest speaker on therapy issues at a university level.  My experience with children includes an internship in emergency mental health at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, as well as working as an art educator, a day camp coordinator and animator, and assisting in a pre-school setting.

General Approach

I use an integrative blend of emotionally-focused, psychodynamic and psycho-educational models which are adjusted to suit the needs of her clients. 

Preliminary sessions focus on making a map with the client to decide what direction the therapy will take.  The process is always interactive with the therapist being guided by the client’s input, pace and comfort level.
