About me
Hi, I'm Julien. Welcome to my website.
I'm a Registered Psychologist offering in-person and virtual psychotherapy from my private practice at Paddler's Cove, Dartmouth, overlooking beautiful Lake Banook.
My goal is to make therapy welcoming, safe, and of course beneficial to whoever walks through my door. If you'd like to learn more about how we can work together, request a free consultation or read on.

TRANSPARENCY: Being upfront & honest and demystifying therapy throughout.
COLLABORATION: We both bring specialties to this work - it can only be done together.
ACCOUNTABILITY: The work must be efficient and remain focused on your needs & goals.
WARMTH: Creating a safe, welcoming space, free of judgment is always at the forefront.
PROFESSIONALISM: I'm continuously learning & training to bring up-to-date methods to session.
A SENSE OF HUMOUR (when appropriate): We are human after all, and sometimes, a good chuckle between two people can be therapeutic in itself.
