My Approach
Psychologist by training (2000) and have been licensed as a psychotherapist in Quebec (60204-12) since 2012. My main practice approach is Psychodynamic. I am also a certified Integrated Body Psychotherapy (IBP) psychotherapist, teacher and supervisor. I have also recently got my level 3 certification in LifeSpan Integration as Trained therapist.
Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) is an experiential psychotherapeutic modality that involves the body and mind. It is a technique that integrates many psychological theories, as well as body, consciousness, movement and breathing techniques borrowed from various yogic, meditative and spiritual practices. IBP is a psychotherapeutic model that is in constant evolution. Read more
LifeSpan Integration is an extremely powerful, effective and often quick relief therapy for trauma, anxiety and other difficult situations.
It is an innovative therapy based on the innate self-healing capacity of the body-mind system. It is based on the fact that it reactivates neural integration to support the natural capacity of the body and psyche to heal itself. During an LifeSpan Integration session, the client's unconscious material is activated, reorganized and integrated, all within the same 60 to 90 minute session. Read more.
Psychodynamic approach is an approach of introspection and self-knowledge aimed at the proper regulation and resolution of intra-psychic conflicts. It is a short and medium term approach, often at the rate of one meeting per week, and the therapy focuses on one or several central problems of the person. This approach focuses on personal dynamics, more specifically on the ways in which emotions, impulses and defense mechanisms can affect our behavior in relational contexts and are part of a repetition of typical relational patterns (central conflict).
