Emotional difficulties are deeply personal, debilitating and at times confusing. In order to better understand the issue that you may be experiencing, deeper insights begin to emerge as we examine how your assumptions and beliefs may be framing your perspective. The vehicle of change is the therapeutic conversational process that helps generate meaningful solutions, in order to resolve your difficulty.

The approach I take with my patients varies from one patient to another. Like a "modiste" I "tailor" my sessions, creating a personalised therapeutic plan for each patient. I only work with evidence based therapies that I have been trained in: Behavioural therapy, Cognitive- Behavioural therapy, Family therapy and Humanist therapy. ​ My primary tool is psycho education. I believe in educating the population with evidence based practices while maintaining a close, personal, confidential and safe-space relationship. Some of the most useful tools I use include: semi-structured interviews and functional analysis.

I offer (cross-cultural) couples therapy and individual coaching/ counseling. In coaching, me and you together, we tear down inner walls that are putting you under stress and that have been preventing you from achieving your life goals. In couples therapy, we focus on creating new bonding situations and on regulating your nervous systems with a polyvagal approach. We also focus problem-solving skills as a couple as well as conflict communications.

Emotion complements reason in ways which can be confusing, especially considering the social animal we are as humans: living with remarkable sensitivity to one another. Emotion guides us toward knowing our unmet needs. In therapy, only you can be the expert of your inner world's path. It is an honor to accompany you while maintaining focus on your goals, limiting distraction and avoidance behaviors, and fostering opportunities for appropriate self advocacy and self compassion.

It is normal in our lives to feel tired, overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, sad or disappointed. It can happen that we don't see the meaning of our life, that we don't know where we are going or why things are happening to us. It is normal and healthy to go through moments when we stop and question who we are and who we want to become. But there are times when we don't have the tools, the energy to make a change in our lives, or we simply don't know how to do it. That's when I recommend asking for help, using psychology as another tool in our favour to become who we want to be.

My approach! Coming to therapy can be and in fact it is a bit scary and many questions may possibly arise: What should I say to the therapist ? Will I lie on a couch and the professional will sit behind me with a notebook? Will the therapist tell me what to do and how to do it?! These are a few of the questions that you may have and they are totally normal. Ther is nothing to be ashamed of it. You are on the right path, you already took the first step to liberate those feelings. I strongly believe that the person is not the problem, rather the intended solutions to those problems. It is a changing chance for you to feel liberated.

I have over 36 years experience of working with children, young people, adults, couples and families. I have worked with almost every conceivable issue during this time and have no ideal client.
