The Key to Happiness
TRA, Creative non-directive relationship therapy ®
The key to happiness begins with a better understanding of oneself and one’s needs. My goal as a therapist is to offer you compassionate listening and a safe space, filled with empathy and authenticity.
The key to happiness is not wanting to change others, it's changing oneself.
Do you feel responsible for the dissatisfactions or relational conflicts that mark your personal and professional life? To obtain peace and harmony, taking real responsibility involves changing your perspective towards external events and others to refocus on oneself. An introspective look and acceptance of oneself and others without judgment open the way to constructive changes to improve one’s life and feel free and serene.

TRA, Creative non-directive relationship therapist®
I am a Montreal-born Chinese lady. From a very young age, I have aspired to see the world flourish in happiness and relationships blossom through authentic communications. Thanks to my training at CRAM, I realized that this happiness and harmony begin with oneself.
As a TRA, creative non-directive relationship therapistt®, my goal is to offer you compassionate listening. The key to happiness begins with a better understanding of oneself and one’s needs, which then leads to the proper identification of the true sources of one’s problems.
This journey is doubly facilitated by the therapeutic relationship because I create a safe space, imbued with empathy, non-judgment, and authenticity, conducive to the free and open exploration of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Une belle relation très humaine. Je me sentais en sécurité et c’était une relation authentique. Je ne sais pas comment l’exprimer, mais elle est très vraie et très sensible à ce que je vivais. Elle m’a amené à aller plus loin avec des reflets et reformulations. Elle m’a aidé à restructurer mes pensées. Un développement personnel très valorisant.

Karman est une perle et ce fut un plaisir de travailler avec elle. Vivement je la consulterais à nouveau dans le futur tellementl’énergie et la compréhension se faisaient bien lors des séances.

Karman est incroyable à l’écoute et très précise lorsqu’elle reformule mes propos. La plupart du temps, je ne sais pas vraiment comment exprimer les choses mais Karman trouve toujours les mots justes qui me permettent de me sentir éclairée. Je me sens toujours en sécurité et jamais jugée avec elle ce qui m’aide à vider mon coeur en toute authenticité. J’ai une grande confiance en elle. Merci Infiniment
