From the bustling streets of Marseille to the dynamic landscape of America, my journey as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor has spanned continents. With over two decades of experience, I've honed my craft in diverse mental health settings like outpatient clinics, trauma-focused treatment center, partial-hospital for children, adult rehabilitation program, college counseling center and private practice. The proud owner of Village Connection Counseling, I offer compassionate and innovative psychotherapy tailored to individuals, children, adolescents, adults, and families, in search of a space to heal, growth and (re)connect.
Embracing both the immediate hurdles and the profound quests for purpose, my clients entrust me with guiding them through life's intricate tapestry, from managing stress and symptoms, to approach broader questions regarding life direction and identity. They are motivated to redefine themselves and their role within their close and larger social circles.
Step into my therapeutic realm, where warmth meets depth. With a down-to-earth demeanor and boundless empathy, I create a space where you truly feel seen and heard. I also value playfulness and thrive to foster an environment ripe for curiosity and creativity. Together, we cultivate the focus and connection necessary for transformative personal exploration.
