A woman, a mother, a person...

Driven by a deep interest in encounters, I am convinced that in every human being there is a (often unsuspected) strength capable of helping them resolve their difficulties, take back the reins of their life, and fully flourish.

According to Abraham Maslow: “The perfect society is the one in which the possibility of self-actualization is offered to all individuals.”

My goal is to offer a place, support, a helping relationship… the best possible context to allow each person to find their own path of meaning, serenity, and self-actualization.

My methodology is essentially humanistic, centered on the person and the therapeutic relationship. However, I use different tools (analytic, systemic and ethno-psychiatric) that offer a psychodynamic perspective on the situation and make it possible to multiply the angles of view.

I offer individual and couples consultations.

I work with the idea of collaboration and co-construction, in order to enable each person or each system (couple) to reclaim their own abilities and to find the most favorable path for facing the difficulties encountered.

The consultation is a place of listening and sharing, of welcome and reflection, in a safe and caring environment where one comes alone or as a couple, in search of a better understanding of oneself, one’s resources, one’s choices, and one’s life project.

I was trained in therapeutic interviewing and couples counseling for 4 years at IPFS Namur (degree obtained with high distinction).
