Professional profile
Who am I?
From the age of fifteen, I knew I wanted to be a sexologist. It was with great seriousness and a sincere desire to help that I obtained my degree in clinical sexology.
A graduate of the Université du Québec à Montréal, I successfully completed a comprehensive training program and practical internship in the field. Supervision was at the heart of this training and allowed me to develop the ability to broaden my understanding.
I believe that you possess what it takes to live a fully fulfilling life. My role is to help you access these resources.
I continue my professional development through ongoing training and supervision by a recognized Sex Therapist Supervisor.

The Sexologist's Role

Often taboo, sexuality and relationship difficulties can have a significant impact on our overall well-being. Having access to a confidential, welcoming space to explore and address these concerns — so that you can live a more fulfilling sexuality and more fulfilling relationships — is a legitimate need, and one that sex therapy answers.
My role is to warmly and professionally welcome you to help you identify and understand the factors contributing to your distress.
Together, we explore solutions and develop strategies so that you can experience improvement in your sexual, emotional, and relational well-being.
It can be difficult to discuss concerns as intimate as those related to sexuality. I will welcome you in a warm and confidential environment, without judgment.
Rest assured that clinical sexologists are bound by professional secrecy and adhere to the code of ethics of the Ordre Professionnel des Sexologues du Québec (OPSQ) and the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec (OPQ).
