About Me

Clinical Background

I am a psychologist practicing psychotherapy in Montreal, with a primary focus on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches. These methodologies are grounded in understanding the unconscious processes that shape how we interact with ourselves and others. Through the therapeutic relationship, meaningful psychological change becomes possible.

I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at Universitรฉ de Sherbrooke, where I trained in three major psychological approaches: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic-existential. During my studies, I worked with diverse clientele including young adults, individuals experiencing intimate partner violence, and couples seeking relationship therapy.

With 8+ years of advanced study in psychology, I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology. Following my doctoral studies, I specialized in couple's therapy through intensive training in Integrative Couple Intervention (ICI), developed by Dr. Andrรฉ Surprenant, under his direct supervision.

I maintain current knowledge through continuous professional development and regular consultation with senior practitioners. My approach integrates modern therapeutic techniques with classical psychoanalytic theory.

What is Psychoanalytic Therapy?

Unconscious Exploration

Psychoanalytic therapy operates on the principle that our unconscious mind significantly influences our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By bringing unconscious material to awareness, we can transform our lives.

The Therapeutic Relationship

The relationship between therapist and client is the primary vehicle for change. Through exploring transference and countertransference, clients gain insight into their relational patterns.

Insight and Integration

Unlike symptom-focused approaches, psychoanalytic work aims for deep insight and psychological integration. Change emerges organically from increased self-awareness.

Long-term Growth

While individual issues may resolve, many clients continue therapy for personal development, seeking deeper self-understanding and psychological maturity.
