Overview :
Graduated with a doctorate in clinical psychology (D.Psy) from the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières (UQTR) in 2014. Member of the Order of Psychologists of Quebec (OPQ) and in the process of becoming a member of the College of Psychologists of British Columbia (CPBC). I have experience in several settings (prison, psychiatric, community, hospital, university) with a variety of clients. I have been practicing psychotherapy in a private clinic since 2013. My basic clinical training is psychodynamic and systemic-interaction. However, I tend towards an integrative approach to psychotherapy. I traveled for several years with my family to discover ancestral healing methods among native peoples of North America that today influence my approach to psychotherapy.
