Postpartum Depression | Parenting Struggles | Performance Enhancement | PTSD | OCD | EMDR Consultation
I help stressed out postpartum moms, parents who had a rough childhood, and individuals working in high-pressure environments feel safe enough to go through challenges with high stakes.
As a perinatal and trauma therapist specializing in EMDR Therapy, I see clients in Ontario (Embrun and Ottawa areas mainly), Alberta (Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Calgary), and Quebec (Gatineau, Pointe-Claire, and Hudson areas). I know how painful it can be to own our role as a parent, get past our triggers and feel confident when going through intense challenges. You’re busy and you need to get to the root cause of how you have been feeling in order to effectively heal and get back to what matters most.
Help is here, you can get back to who you authentically are.
Your time and investment are valuable. I want you to feel better ASAP.EMDR Therapy has been proven to deliver symptom reduction faster and more effectively than traditional talk therapy.
That’s why clients stay with me on average 10-20 sessions (sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on your unique needs, circumstances, history, and challenges you are facing).
I help you get back to being the human you authentically are.
Not a perfect mother, but a healthy one. One who isn’t consumed by nightmares of what happened during the birth of her baby and who counts the number of breaths her baby takes at night.
Not a perfect parent, but a parent who can co-regulate with their child during a meltdown and who can apologize, learn, and break the cycle imperfectly.
Not a perfect go-getter who is constantly being told to “just be positive”, but someone who can confidently affirm “I have confidence in my capabilities and I feel safe going for what I truly want”.

Offering EMDR therapy in both French and English. EMDR therapy is safe and effective in treating a wide spectrum of mental health challenges such as postpartum depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and to enhance performance in athletes and those working in high-pressure environments.
“It’s time we stop focusing so much on your logical thinking brain and start giving attention to your nervous system. We need to communicate to your nervous system, in its language, that it doesn’t need to go in Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn anymore. That you are now safe to be who you truly are, for real. Your challenge has nothing to do with willpower: it has to do with nervous system wiring. And we can change that.”
