About me
I'm a qualified integrative counsellor, offering short-term and long-term therapy to adults, in both English and French. I work either in a traditional therapy room, outdoors or remotely. I'm also a certified nature and forest therapy guide, offering group nature connection experiences for wellbeing and personal growth.
You might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed right now. And you probably have tried to help yourself in various ways. Some must have been helpful - and I’d be interested to know which ones - but you still feel like you’re running in circles or you’re stuck in place, frozen. This is when talking to a therapist can help.
When I work with clients, I’m first and foremost willing to hear their experience from their perspective. And I’m also curious about the stories that might have been forgotten or put in the background, stories that might bring a new and useful angle.
I also pay attention to you as a whole person, which means that I give equal value to your body, mind and spirit. I might thus invite you - if it feels helpful - to explore things through images, metaphors, body awareness, or visualization. And I’m also attentive to the various systems you belong to: your family, society, culture, nature…
Whether you want to focus on something specific like anxiety or low self-esteem or explore things more broadly, we’ll shape the process together in a way that feels right for you.
Our work can happen in the room, remotely, or outdoors in nature. But whether we are indoor, on Zoom or in a park, your relationship with nature will be present, as human life is interlinked with the rest of nature.
I’ll offer you a space where you’ll be able to speak freely and be met with warmth, curiosity, and care. My hope is to support you in making sense of your experiences, discovering new resources, and reconnecting with a sense of freedom and choice in your life.

Additional information
You can contact me to book an initial session, which would allow us to discuss the reasons for your seeking support, the length of therapy and other details. It's also a time for you and me to see whether or not we can work together. If you're interested in outdoor therapy, we would have to meet indoor or online first to discuss that possibility and what it entails during this initial session.
