Loïs is a doctoral candidate in psychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM). She devotes her research to anorexia nervosa in the context of social pressure for thinness and the confinement associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. Holding a bachelor’s degree in psychology and an honors thesis on the mental health of restaurant professionals, she has a strong interest in the psychosocial factors that influence well-being. Through her clinical experience at UQÀM’s Psychological Services Center and the Douglas Mental Health University Institute, she has worked with adolescents and adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, low self-esteem, relationship issues, as well as suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviours.

In her practice, Loïs adopts a cognitive-behavioral approach, enriched by a holistic perspective, to provide a clinical understanding tailored to each client’s unique needs. Her therapeutic style, marked by warmth and gentleness, fosters a strong alliance built on empathy and collaboration. She creates a safe space where clients can strengthen their resilience, regain control over their lives, and develop their full potential.

Outside of her professional life, Loïs is passionate about traveling, music, and dance. She dreams of sailing around the world on a cruise and dancing with the wind. She finds balance and joy in moments shared with her loved ones, often while enjoying a good tv show with a bowl of popcorn.
