Evidence-Based • Empathetic • Collaborative Therapy
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it’s important to find someone you feel safe and understood with. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore what’s troubling you, find relief from distress, and begin building a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.
We all face challenges throughout life, and it can be hard to cope with them alone. Therapy can help you manage difficult emotions in healthy ways, see things from new perspectives, build self-esteem, improve relationships, and reconnect with what brings you happiness.
I’m an American clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, offering psychotherapy in both English and French for adults in Paris. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology (with high honors) from Marymount Manhattan College in New York, as well as a bachelor’s and master’s in clinical psychology from the University of Paris, where I also graduated with honors.
My professional background includes work in hospitals and clinics such as Beaujon Hospital, Paul Brousse Hospital, and most recently at the Paris Psychology Centre, a mental health care centre for English-speakers in Paris.
I aim to provide an open, caring, and non-judgmental space where you feel truly understood and supported. My approach is collaborative and relational, meaning we work together to explore your experiences and patterns in relationships, while tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals. My practice is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches.
Common issues I work with include:
Anxiety and worry
Depression
Self-esteem issues
Perfectionism
Loneliness and isolation
Work and study stress
Relationship difficulties
Life transitions and crises
Challenges of expat life
Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a professional ballet dancer. That experience deepened my awareness of the connection between mind and body, and the importance of living in alignment with what makes us feel alive and fulfilled. This is what ultimately led me to my true passion—helping others through psychology and therapy.
Whatever you’re going through, it would be a privilege to support you, help you see things from a new perspective, and guide you toward greater balance, well-being, and fulfillment.
WHAT IS THERAPY ?
It can be difficult to fully describe what therapy is, as much of it comes from the experience of being in the space together...whether in person or online. As the American psychological association, therapy is designed to “help people of all ages live better, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.”
My goal is to provide the most effective therapy possible, helping the people I work with to lead happier, healthier lives. I use a variety of scientifically validated techniques, tailoring them to each person’s unique needs. Together, we work on developing new ways of thinking, coping, and relating that can transform difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression.
Each session is designed to focus on the specific challenges you’re facing, offering practical tools and strategies that support both immediate relief and long-term growth. My aim is to help you overcome obstacles, manage distress more effectively, and move toward greater fulfilment and well-being.
MY THERAPEUTIC ORIENTATION...
CBT
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach which can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. CBT is based on the idea that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected. Due to this connection, negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle. Our goal is to put into place a more virtuous cycle.
ACT
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is another therapeutic treatment approach based on behavioral therapy. One of the integral components of ACT is to encourage values-guided action. ACT also refers to taking mindful action. An idea behind ACT is that people can live fulfilling and enriched lives by using the ACT principles without necessarily focusing on the reduction of symptoms.
MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is a type of talk therapy which concentrates on learning how to be more aware of thoughts, feelings, emotions, surroundings, and situations, and to reduce automatic responses (such as stress). Mindfulness techniques focus on managing our automatic responses to situations.
EMDR THERAPY
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps people heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences. Instead of relying only on talking through events, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, sounds, or taps—while recalling aspects of a difficult memory. This process allows the brain to reprocess the experience so it no longer feels overwhelming or “stuck.” Recommended by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR has also been shown to help with anxiety, phobias, grief, and other challenges. The goal is to reduce emotional distress, shift negative beliefs, and support greater resilience and calm in daily life.
ASSERTIVENESS THERAPY
Assertive training is a type of therapy that teaches individuals skills related to confidence. The idea is to help people better communicate their needs and wants, to be assertive instead of either passive or agressive. Assertiveness training helps people focus on their needs in healthier ways and build confidence in the long term.
SCHEMA THERAPY
Schema therapy (ST) is an integrative approach that combines elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theories, and Gestalt and experiential therapies. A principal idea in schema therapy is that everybody has emotional universal needs that are present from childhood. These needs include: safety, stability, nurturance, acceptance, autonomy, competence, identity, expression, spontaneity, and for a world with realistic limits. Healthy psychological functioning implies the ability to get one’s needs met in an adaptive manner.
