My website

I offer therapy in English and in French. If you grew up in a family or system that taught you to doubt your feelings or silence your needs, trusting yourself can feel difficult. Religious trauma, family expectations, and social pressure can distance you from your own authenticity. In therapy, we’ll explore how past experiences show up in your experience today, so you can let go of what’s heavy, untangle old patterns and rebuild inner steadiness. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR for trauma processing, and somatic awareness practices we’ll co-create a grounded space for healing, self-trust, and finding your own way.

I understand how the past can shape the present; if we don't experience warm and tuned-in parenting when we are young, it can show up as dissasociation, perfectionism and intense self-sufficiency as an adult. Neurodiversity like ADHD or CPTSD can amplify this even more. My job is to help you to rewire the responses you have now that aren't working for you.

I help folks find the practices that help them quiet the noise of overthinking. In our work, we’ll use visualization and gentle trauma reprocessing to heal repeating cycles and stuck patterns. Therapy offers a place to have your story witnessed, recharge, recover energy and create steadiness. If this resonates, let’s talk about how I can support you.
