For reasons of confidentiality and ethics toward patients, I do not name the hospitals, centers, … where I have worked and currently work.

It was in the youth sector and then in adult psychiatry that I began.

Currently, and for many years now, I have been working in child and adolescent psychiatry, while having practiced in a medical center from 2008 to 2020 and then in private practice.

For many years, I have been speaking at colloquia, seminars, conferences, … on themes such as: “What to do with patients’ creations”, “Circularity between signifier and signified”, “The counter-transference constellation and Balint”, “Working with violence in psychiatric settings”, “C. or deciphered language”, …

All while being in ongoing training (university, certification, …) 

Children, adolescents and adults who are questioning, often facing doubts and uncertainties, may feel a deep need for listening, understanding and support to avoid social isolation. To meet this need, I remain active and create philosophy workshops, offer volunteer listening support to healthcare staff during the Covid crisis, create suspended psychotherapy, and a Facebook page “La citrouille bleue” (“The Blue Pumpkin”) for people with so‑called autistic disorders, highly sensitive people, etc.

I was the “children’s unit” representative on the ethics committee for 18 years and took part in reading/correcting the first version of the “Patient’s Rights” act, as well as being a representative at the Federation of Medical Centers. 

The practice is oriented by Freudian and Lacanian approaches. It is characterized by rigorous listening within a therapeutic framework that respects each person’s own pace.

My private practice is aimed mainly at adults.
