About Me

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). I have clinical experience treating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, and relational difficulties. My internship at Psychologia Clinic focuses on expanding my clinical skills in the assessment and treatment of couples facing various challenges (such as communication, conflict management, or infidelity) as well as individuals experiencing sexual difficulties (for example, decreased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or sexual pain).

I employ an integrative approach to therapy, combining principles from various schools of psychology, including cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapies, according to the specific needs and preferences of each client. My clinical supervisors are psychologists Julie Larouche and Katherine Milette.

My research interests focus primarily on populations involved with the criminal justice system and various topics related to sexuality (such as the sex industry and sexual offences).
