About Me

I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work as a psychologist. As a late-identified, multiply neurodivergent professional, I know what it’s like to feel othered, misunderstood, or to try to become someone else in order to get by. In creating Accord Psychology, I wanted to create the kind of space I spent a long time searching for: one where you don’t have to mask any facets of you. My practice is grounded in a deep interest in the intricacies of the human mind, emphasizing core values of authenticity, inclusivity, and connection. Some of my specific areas of interest include mixed-neurotype relationships, twice-exceptionality, and the intersection of trauma and neurodivergence.

I work especially well with curious, sensitive minds who think deeply and feel intensely. Many of my clients are exceptionally bright, creative, and professionally successful, yet quietly struggle with feelings of anxiety, stuckness, overwhelm or disconnect. Some are only beginning to understand how their intersecting identities and lived experiences have shaped them. Others have already engaged in meaningful introspective work and come to therapy ready to examine the deeper patterns that continue to surface in their relationships.

I am care deeply about neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, culturally safe, LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex-positive values. I continually and actively engage in introspective work to help me identify any personal perspective and assumptions that may show up in our sessions.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from McGill University, a certificate in Human Sexuality and Intervention, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Université de Montréal. During my residency, I received specialized training in sex and couples therapy at the MUHC in Montreal. Aside from my work at Accord Psychology, I work at Remedy offering psychedelic-assisted therapy, which is a long-standing interest of mine.



My style is active, informal, and collaborative. I show up as my authentic self—bringing warmth, curiosity, a love of metaphors, and a touch of playfulness to our sessions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space away from life's usual demands where you can explore freely at your own pace and tap into your inner resources. In accordance with trauma-informed practices, I believe in working with transparency and respect for your autonomy, ensuring you always have a say in how we move forward together.

I focus on helping you find the right words to make sense of your experience in all of its complexity and nuance. This often means learning to sit together with the discomfort of turning toward parts of yourself that you usually avoid. I believe that meaningful change emerges naturally when you learn to hold the many facets of your experience with honest curiosity and compassion. I pay close attention to what unfolds between us in the therapy room. By gently and honestly examining our interactions in the moment, we can identify unspoken patterns, assumptions, and relational dynamics that may be holding you back. Because of my own aphantasia, I tend to move away from techniques that rely heavily on imagination or visualization.

In therapy jargon, my approach is fundamentally humanistic-existential, integrating interpersonal psychodynamic theory and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). We will likely be a good fit if you are ready to step away from one-size-fits-all approaches or prescriptive formulas and are open to deeper, medium- to long-term work. Together, we can work toward understanding the roots of what brings you to therapy and finding your own path to lasting growth.
