I believe that becoming a therapist is a lifelong professional journey—one of gathering, refining and bringing together the insights offered by the remarkable advances made in recent years in our understanding of psychological suffering. In this way, my understanding of the challenges involved in finding one’s way through the world continues to deepen over time.

 

Because every perspective reflects part of the truth, and because reality is often broader than any single viewpoint can reveal, I believe it is essential to listen to, compare and connect different perspectives in order to move towards an increasingly accurate understanding of the human experience.

 

Every era and every cultural context has developed its own responses to psychological suffering, which helps explain the richness and diversity of therapeutic approaches available today.

 

I have been particularly drawn to body-based and sensorimotor approaches, which are grounded in the connection between body and mind and in the regulation of the nervous system. I have been equally inspired by approaches centred on attachment and relationship, as they resonate deeply with my understanding of the roots of psychological suffering and emotional wounds.

 

I am a clinical psychologist trained at Paris 8 University, and over time I have increasingly focused my professional development on psychological trauma, attachment difficulties, perinatal psychology—which encompasses pregnancy, birth and the earliest stages of life—and child development.

 

I am trained in all levels of Lifespan Integration (LI-ICV), including its application with children and adolescents. This body-oriented therapeutic approach supports the integration of life experiences, particularly when early, traumatic or relationally unsafe experiences continue to influence the present.

 

My training in the clinical application of Polyvagal Theory and in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) has further enriched my understanding of trauma through the lens of the autonomic nervous system, inner safety and emotional regulation.

 

I have also deepened my work in attachment-focused and parent–child approaches through Theraplay®, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), and infant massage training with the Institut de Gasquet. These approaches are particularly supportive of early bonding, relational attunement, emotional security and processes of co-regulation.

 

My training in Janina Fisher’s Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) model also informs my work with people affected by complex trauma, particularly when their experiences are accompanied by dissociation, internal conflict or survival strategies that have become painful or limiting in their present lives.

 

Today, I do not view these trainings as a collection of separate techniques or independent models. Together, they inform a coherent clinical practice that draws on their combined contributions to build an increasingly integrated understanding of psychological suffering and to support each person in the full uniqueness of their story.
