About Me
I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work as a psychologist. As a late-identified, multiply neurodivergent person who holds different marginalized identities, I know what it’s like to feel othered, misunderstood, or to try to become someone else in order to get by. Those experiences are central to why I do this work. I wanted to create the kind of space I spent a long time searching for—one where you don’t have to mask or perform. My practice is grounded in a deep interest in the intricacies of the human mind, emphasizing core values of authenticity, inclusivity, and connection.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from McGill University, a certificate in Human Sexuality and Intervention, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Université de Montréal. During my residency, I received specialized training in sex and couples therapy at the MUHC in Montreal. Over the course of my doctorate, I also engaged in research focused on the nuanced experiences of cannabis use in the queer community. Aside from my work at Accord Psychology, I also work at Remedy offering psychedelic-assisted therapy, which is a long-standing interest of mine.
I work especially well with curious, sensitive minds who think deeply and feel intensely. Many of my clients are exceptionally bright, creative, and successful, yet quietly struggle with feelings of stuckness, overwhelm or disconnect. Some are only beginning to understand how their intersecting identities and lived experiences have shaped them. Others have already engaged in meaningful introspective work and come to therapy ready to examine the deeper patterns that continue to surface in their relationships.
My style is active, informal, and collaborative. I show up as my authentic self—bringing warmth, curiosity, a love of metaphors, and a touch of playfulness to our sessions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space away from life's usual demands where you can explore freely at your own pace.
I focus on helping you find the right words to make sense of your experience and on identifying broader patterns in how you move through life. This often means learning to sit together with the discomfort of turning toward parts of yourself that you usually avoid. I believe that meaningful change emerges naturally when you learn to hold the many facets of your experience with honest curiosity and compassion. I pay close attention to what unfolds between us in the therapy room. By gently and honestly examining our interactions in the moment, we can identify unspoken patterns, assumptions, and relational dynamics that may be holding you back.
Because of my own aphantasia, I tend to move away from techniques that rely heavily on imagination or visualization.
In therapy jargon, my approach is fundamentally humanistic-existential, integrating interpersonal psychodynamic theory and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). We will likely be a good fit if you are ready to step away from quick fixes or prescriptive formulas and are open to deeper, medium- to long-term work. Together, we can work toward understanding the roots of what brings you to therapy and creating lasting growth.
