Therapy, designed as a process of support, provides a space for personal development and reflection on the thoughts and questions raised by the individual, with the goal of helping them listen to their suffering and move towards emotional relief. It aims to help the individual better understand and know themselves by guiding them to develop their own tools and avenues for reflection within a supportive and safe therapeutic environment.

She exercises an integrative approach in psychotherapy, combining the principles of the psychodynamic current, centered on the understanding of which antecedent experiences influence and affect today our feelings and our relationship with others, and a humanist approach, encouraging each person to draw on its resources and creativity. It is important for her to respect the rhythm and needs of each person in a caring space.
Convinced that an integrative and creative approach makes it possible to better support people in their wholeness and their singularity, she remains open to enrichment from other schools of thought (CBT and systemic) to adapt to the specific needs of each individual. during meetings, which take place in a caring and secure environment, where she helps the client to better understand themselves and to mobilize their own inner resources to achieve their objectives.
