Bio

Training and experience

My education includes a PhD in Counselling Psychology from McGill University and a postdoctoral fellowship from Harvard School of Public Health.I have clinical experience working with individuals diagnosed with mental health conditions; individuals in traditional and non-traditional relationships and various family structures (eg, blended families); individuals with different sexual orientations (aro, ace) and gender identities; individuals from racialized backgrounds.I have published scientific research papers in the area of health and clinical psychology (e.g., cancer prevention, attitudes and beliefs about heath promotion, and implementation methods to facilitate the uptake of health measures in healthcare systems).

About me

I immigrated to Canada 20-something years ago and have lived in Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec, with a brief stay in Boston, Massachusetts. I currently live in a small town in the Laurentians area of Quebec, with my partner and three adorable cats.My clinical practice draws from my academic studies in psychology and public health, my clinical experience across various settings (psychiatric hospitals, mental health clinics, private practice), and my lived experience as an immigrant cis white woman.Every day, in my work with clients, I learn new things about people, the world, and myself, which is a grounding experience and a great privilege. I value authentic human connection and care deeply about animals and the environment. In my spare time, I enjoy reading academic literature and literary fiction (and non-fiction) about folks with different perspectives and life experiences than mine.
