Presentation

Being born in South India and having experienced a cultural shift at a very young age when arriving in Belgium, I naturally turned toward the study of human societies and their respective histories.
I also became interested in religions, rites, and customs of various traditional societies, both European and non-European, as part of my university studies.
After various interdisciplinary seminars oriented toward psychoanalysis in Brussels and Paris, I decided to deepen my clinical practice through university and professional training, as well as various internships in psychiatric institutions and mental health services.
Following work experience in mental health services, I further explored a range of psychological issues.
This path allowed me to open a private practice for all types of clients, with a personalized and professional perspective on mental health.
I hold university degrees and certificates in the humanities and in psychotherapeutic clinical studies with a psychoanalytic orientation.
I am currently engaged in continuous training to further deepen my clinical practice and personal analysis.
My main interest is to unify different traditional and contemporary approaches around the human soul and its universal difficulties.
I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual, couples, or family therapy.
