Some people seek help at a moment of crisis. Others come with a more diffuse sense that something in the way they inhabit their existence has become less self-evident. Psychotherapy can then become a space where certain experiences, left without form or language, may gradually be set down, recognised, thought through, and sometimes transformed.
Sometimes it begins with a sentence one says to oneself.
- All is well, on the surface. And yet.
- I no longer quite recognise myself.
- I am still searching for who I am.
- Something keeps repeating, and I don’t understand what.
- I have achieved what I wanted. Something is missing.
These questions run through every life, whatever one’s age, background or path.
I work with people facing psychological, relational or existential difficulties, whether a suffering that lingers, a passage in life, or a question of identity that has become pressing. My practice draws in particular on extensive experience in the clinical treatment of personality disorders, while welcoming a wide range of requests.
I see psychotherapy as work that takes shape within an encounter. A place where it becomes possible to put words to what had remained confused, to explore what repeats, and to discover other ways of relating to oneself and to others. It is not necessarily a matter of becoming someone else, but of being able to meet oneself differently.
I see adults, young adults and older adults, in French and in English, at the Clinique de psychologie Mentana, in Montréal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal. Telepractice may also be considered when this modality is clinically appropriate.
My availability is often limited and waiting times can be long. I nonetheless respond to every request; where appropriate, a referral to one of my colleagues at the clinic may be offered.
For a first request, a few words are enough.
