Services

I am an experienced, clinical social worker/therapist with a diverse private practice in the West Island area of Montreal.  I have over 25 years clinical experience. 

I see individuals, couples, families, and groups.  I work with clients of all ages including children.  With youngsters I join them in play in order to gain some understanding of how they see their world.  Children talk when they are ready and play is often the language they choose.

Adults, on the other hand, are free to explore their issues at their own pace.  Rather than having one set therapeutic modality, I prefer to join with the clients where they see themselves.  I can then work with them in dynamic ways meant to meet their individual and specific needs.  We can jointly discover what works best in order for the client to explore and resolve the issues that are impeding his/her peace of mind.

A significant part of my practice is working with all types of relationship issues. In couple work and/or marital counseling I make every effort to maintain an even balance so that neither person feels that one or the other is favored.

Boundaries and confidentiality are paramount and protected in order for the therapeutic process to develop in a safe and structured, predictable environment.

I offer help with emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety.  The grief due to death and non-death losses are my specialty as is working with adult children of mentally ill parents.  I also do much work with relationship issues, behavior disorders, chronic illness, addictions, and gender issues.  Small groups or workshops on anger, parenting, loss, and/or communication can be organized.

I am also on contract with several regional EAP companies.

I see clients days and evenings, weekends when necessary.
