ABOUT ME/BIO

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Aix-Marseille University with a dual specialization in both child and adult psychology. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) by EMDR Europe and Francine Shapiro institute. I have extensive experience in trauma-focused therapy and worked with adults and children victims of sexual assaults.
Additionally, I have undergone a personal psychoanalysis, as I deeply believe that understanding others begins with understanding oneself.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU
For my child patients :

I use a holistic, child-centered approach to therapy, recognizing that multiple factors contribute to a child’s symptoms or distress. My process begins with a thorough assessment of key areas: the child’s environment (school, friendships, caregivers), developmental milestones (language acquisition, motor development, etc.), personal history, and any potential transgenerational influences.

In therapy, it’s essential for the child to fully understand why they are attending sessions and the goals of our work together. I prioritize involving the child as an active participant in their healing process, ensuring they are aware of and engaged in the therapeutic journey.

The modalities I use are tailored to the child’s needs and may include Adaptive Information Processing (EMDR-based), play therapy, and art therapy. Each approach is selected to support the child’s emotional and psychological growth in a way that resonates with them.
WHAT I SAY TO PEOPLE WHO FEEL NERVOUS OR HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THERAPY/ASSESSMENT
There’s no right or wrong reason to seek therapy. Sometimes, it’s about addressing signs or symptoms like anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks. Other times, it’s navigating difficult moments such as the loss of a loved one, a breakup, or a career change. Big life transitions—starting a business, marriage, divorce, or becoming a parent—can also lead us to seek support. And, of course, therapy can be a space to process traumatic experiences, such as violence or abuse.

But therapy isn’t only for the hard times. It can also stem from a desire for a change—whether that’s overcoming fears like public speaking, improving self-care, tackling passivity, or simply seeking change.

At its core, what matters most is the willingness to better understand ourselves and, at times, the people we care about most, like our children. Therapy is after all the best gift we can give ourselves.

I would love to connect with you!
