These represent labels — mental shortcuts so to speak — that we use to make sense of our suffering and organize our actions towards well-being. These may be convenient, they might help to make sense of one’s suffering. Some other times they might hurt, steer us away from the answers and the change we need in our lives. Experience gained from the invaluable input from my patients over the years has taught me this : the lived-experience attached to these labels is always much more woven with richness and complexity.

During our sessions, we will together find a way to go beyond the labels and focus on deeper and more significant levels of meaning. The lens I use may be best described as psychodynamic, with insights from other modalities (e.g. systemic, existential-humanistic, solution-focused therapy) and disciplines (cultural psychiatry, social determinants of mental health, etc.). In plain language, we’ll focus the underlying patterns that shape your emotions and relationships, often rooted in earlier experiences. We will work together to identify these dynamics, understand their impact, and open new possibilities for growth.

Needless to say, choosing a therapist is an important decision.
