Toronto Francophone Psychotherapy Clinic

I first worked for two years at the CLSC Arthur-Buies in Quebec with a clientele losing their autonomy. This experience allowed me to deepen my knowledge of aging and chronic or degenerative diseases, but also of the consequences related to the loss of autonomy resulting from an accident or a traumatic event.

I then moved to Toronto in 2002 to continue my career at the Centre francophone de Toronto for eight years. I had the chance to meet Francophones from different countries, all trying in their own way to create a better balance in their lives. I then continued to develop my skills in post-traumatic stress disorder, particularly with immigrants wishing to file an asylum application in Canada. These enriching years, with a very diverse clientele in CLSCs and at the Centre francophone, allowed me to realize how much I enjoyed accompanying clients in the known challenges to help them mobilize their strengths and support them in developing their full potential. Self-knowledge and growth towards a more positive vision of oneself are primary objectives in my practice, which is above all humanistic. In this way, I try to create a space for collaboration in order to foster a relationship of trust and respect aimed at acceptance, integrity and communication. I believe that through this relationship, the person can better integrate what is experienced, open up, understand themselves better and achieve better emotional balance.

Finally, having sought a better balance between my professional and family life, I decided to open my private practice in 2012. Particular attention to work-family balance is therefore also very important to me.
