I'm a compassionate psychologist specializing in individual and couples therapy for adults, with expertise in infertility and maternal mental health. Tailoring my approach to each person's journey, I draw from Psychodynamic Theory to guide clients toward healing and growth. I create a space of trust and acceptance, offering empathy and gentle support through challenges. My expertise includes depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration. I'm fluent in French, embrace diversity, and invite individuals and couples to join me in a journey of self-discovery and healing.
