BIOGRAPHY:
I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 15 years,
originally specializing in therapy with children. I worked
in hospital settings in pediatrics and completed my family
therapy training at McGill University. My focus shifted
to relationship therapy as it became clear that a child's
context, i.e. their family, needed to be included in the
work. Working as a divorce coach was a natural evolution
from assisting couples in their struggle to overcome differences.
I bring to my work a blend of compassionate directness
so that my clients feel both supported and challenged
to move forward. There is a delicate balance between being
present with pain without getting lost in it. I see my
role as directing my clients through this extremely difficult
transition by providing psychological support and a framework
for allowing collaboration and connection instead of hostility
and rage. I work towards crafting with them a new co-parenting
relationship where their love for their children is stronger
than their hatred towards each other.
