Trauma-informed approach • CBT • EMDR • Schema therapy • Couples therapy

Effective therapy begins above all with a genuine human encounter.

Before any technique or intervention, my priority is to build a therapeutic relationship founded on trust, safety, and authenticity. Research shows that the quality of this therapeutic alliance is one of the most determining factors in the success of psychotherapy. This is why I believe that the connection we build together is the true driver of change.

I am committed to making evidence-based psychotherapies accessible while offering profoundly human and personalized support. Each person has their own story, resources, and pace. I do not believe in standardized approaches: every therapy is tailor-made.

My work is rooted in a "trauma-informed" approach—one that is sensitive to the consequences of traumatic experiences and relational wounds. Whether identified traumas, attachment wounds, difficult relationships, grief, or more insidious experiences, these events can continue to influence the way we think, feel, and relate to others, sometimes long after they occur. Together, we seek not only to ease symptoms but also to understand their origins in order to foster lasting change.

My practice is primarily based on third-wave cognitive, behavioral, and emotional therapies (CBT), which I enrich with complementary approaches such as EMDR therapy (Level II), schema therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and existential therapy. This integrative approach allows me to work on current difficulties, established life patterns, old emotional wounds, and the search for meaning.

I also work with couples, drawing particularly on the Gottman method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), to help them communicate more effectively, restore trust, overcome conflicts, and strengthen their bond.

I offer an affirming and inclusive therapeutic space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, where everyone is welcomed with respect, openness, and without judgment.

I also have a particular interest in feminist approaches in psychology, notably around questions of gender roles, mental load, parenthood, couple relationships, identity, and the many social expectations that influence our psychological well-being.

Whether you are going through a period of anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relational difficulties, loss of self-confidence, or simply a time of questioning, therapy can become a space to better understand how you function, rediscover a sense of coherence, and build a life more aligned with your values.

I offer consultations in French and German in person in Berlin (once a month) and in Nice, as well as via videoconference.

My role is not to tell you who you should become, but to help you rediscover the person you already are, beneath the protective mechanisms, the wounds of the past, and the adaptations that were long necessary to move forward.

I would be delighted to accompany you along a stretch of your life's journey.
