I have been a psychologist and psychoanalyst for over 20 years. I have practised in a range of institutions and worked with children, adolescents, adults and couples facing all kinds of difficulties. In my Paris practice, I also received mothers and their babies in situations of vulnerability.

A graduate of Université René Descartes Paris V, I completed my training at the Institut de psychologie with an in-depth course in psychoanalysis: personal analysis, seminars, lectures, conferences and supervision, along with membership in the Analyse Freudienne association.

This clinical and theoretical path shapes a psychodynamic approach centred on understanding the unconscious processes that give form to our inner life.

I work with children, adolescents and adults going through painful periods, or facing existential, identity, relational, emotional or sexual difficulties. The reasons for consulting are many, but they always express an inner suffering that limits the freedom to be and to act.

Whatever your age or your situation, my work is to offer you a confidential, safe space, free of judgment, where speech can unfold freely. That space brings to light what is at play underneath, eases internal tensions and opens up possibilities for change.

I also see children together with their parents, to help each of them move past the difficulties they are going through and find steadier bearings. Play, drawing, stories and role play inspired by psychodrama are all ways of reaching a child’s inner world. This work transforms emotional experience, supports the capacity to grow and helps restore a sense of inner security.

Here you will find a personal therapeutic path, respectful of your history, your pace and your singularity, to support you through your own changes.
