Psychotherapy
---- My office warmly welcomes all people, regardless of their sexual and romantic orientation, gender identity, relationship dynamics, sexual preferences, physical ability, ethnicity, or religion and beliefs.
My therapeutic approach takes into account the diversity of human experiences, including unconventional relational dynamics and alternative sexual practices. ----
Specializing in psychopathology, with training and an integrative approach, I help you enter your depths... to find the treasures that inhabit you.
Beyond the search for well-being, psychotherapy is a path of inner metamorphosis to create more space for life to circulate within oneself.
At your own pace and listening to the living within you, it is by diving into what constitutes you, accompanied by a psychotherapist who supports you, that you can release certain information that is not visible but active in your implicit memory, that of the body, to fully choose your life, consciously.
By revealing the unconscious within, you reclaim your power and your free will; you break free from the injunctions of the past that direct your emotions, your view of the world and your behavior, to experience a new way of being in connection with yourself, with others and with your environment.
LI Lifespan Integration
Currently, my practice as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist is entirely based on the LI (Lifespan Integration) approach. This approach personalizes each support by responding to the unique needs of each person, taking into account their personality and reason for consultation. Thanks to its structured protocols, LI goes beyond the limits of speech-centered psychotherapy by offering a regulation of the body-mind system beyond the mental.
LI protocols structure the session and facilitate inner change by proposing a therapeutic methodology that does not only use cognitive functions and mental analysis. Research shows that cognitive processes, although crucial for understanding, do not effectively regulate the autonomic nervous system. LI takes an integrative approach by mobilizing the bodily and emotional dimensions, which is particularly beneficial for people who have difficulty expressing their emotions verbally, those who sometimes find themselves at a loss for words in session, or those who, despite analytical work, understand the origin of their difficulties but continue to encounter them.
By working directly with bodily processes and the memory of life experiences, LI facilitates deeper regulation of the nervous system, allowing lasting inner stability and better adaptation to life's challenges.
Integrate your life experiences and different parts of yourself to create inner solidity.
What is Lifespan Integration?
Lifespan Integration, is a therapy created by the psychotherapist Peggy Pace about twenty years ago. It is based on neuroscience research on trauma, anxiety and attachment. It calls upon the innate self-healing capacity of the body-mind system, which is stimulated by relaunching neuronal integration.
How does it work?
When an event that is too difficult cannot be "digested", in particular because its emotional charge is too heavy, it is disconnected from other neural networks. When memory reinvokes it, it is not experienced as having passed but still active, lodged in the implicit memory of the body. With LI, the body integrates the past event and regulates itself. This allows us to move from " I know that the past belongs to the past" to " I feel that it is over, that today I am safe and in control of my life".
LI, by untying fixed functioning, helps to establish a new way of taking care of oneself and to develop more beneficial thought and behavior patterns. This promotes the emergence of new resources and reinforces a feeling of inner stability, which contributes to establishing a secure attachment.
What are the indications for this therapy?
LI is indicated for any symptom that hinders your daily life, whether minor or psychopathological: physical, emotional, relational or behavioral.
Particularly in cases of depression, anxiety disorders, single or repeated trauma, phobia, eating disorders, addictions, emotional deficiencies and attachment disorders, problems with self-esteem, emotion management, as well as difficulties settling into a romantic, social, family, professional life or in one's identity ( non-exhaustive list ).

Brief or long therapy, how often? During our first sessions we define a framework based on your motivations and your objectives. This can be a brief therapy focused on a specific objective, a long therapy to meet a defined intention, a process of self-knowledge, or even a one-off follow-up to help you get through life events.
I receive adolescents and adults.
