About Me

As a psychologist, I help first responders navigate the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. Their unique roles often bring challenges that can deeply impact daily life and wellbeing. In our sessions, we explore these impacts and develop practical coping strategies. I offer a grounded space where you can process difficult events, build resilience, and find a clear path forward.

Approach

When the aftermath of duty keeps showing up in daily routines, I focus sessions on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. I work with adults in Dieppe and online, offering therapy in English and French, paced to your readiness and life schedule. Sessions blend compassionate processing with focused skills practice and gradual, titrated confronting of distressing memories so reactions change over time and coping becomes more automatic. This approach often fits first responders seeking steadier days and clearer decision-making.
