J'ai 40 ans d'experience de travailler et en anglais et en francais....Mon approche vient d'une souche freudienne, transformee en position post-constructiviste de Relationalism, et basee sur une ' Psychologie de Soi' de Heinz Kohut, parmi d'autres....C'est a dire, je trouve qu'un soutien non-conditionnel est primaire entre therapeutre & client. Apres avoir etabli une empathie profonde des verites personelles du client, on travaile ensemble d'elargir la lentille a apprecier la verite des autres, et apres, de prendre des decisions informees par ces considerations....

I am fluent in English and French and understand three other African dialects.
A major downfall in today’s fast-paced society is that many people feel unheard or unseen. Due to the constant need to conform and keep up, people don't have the time or the opportunity to discover who they are and what they want out of life. This leads to anxiety, stress, depression, issues in relationship, confusion, and low self-esteem. I strive to create a safe environment, free of judgement and negativity, and give my clients the opportunity for self-exploration. By giving them my full attention, they feel heard, validated, and encouraged to pursue their greatest desires according to their own beliefs, and new found aspiration.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are curious and hungry for more connection to themselves and others in their lives. When you start therapy, I will talk with you about what brings you to therapy, the life you want to create and what you think holds you back. I will reflect with you on how it feels to be with and collaborate with you on your own thriving. You are likely to display the same intra- and inter-personal patterns with me that enhance or impede your progress in your relationships at work and home. Most of my clients start therapy because of depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and work challenges.
