About me

🧠 Psychologist – children, adolescents, adults – Carouge (Geneva)
A graduate in clinical developmental psychology in Paris and a doctoral student at the University of Paris 8, I offer person-centered support, using a humanistic approach that integrates emotional, physical, and relational dimensions.
A clinical psychologist and former special education teacher, I also support children, adolescents, and young adults, whether they are neurotypical, have neurodevelopmental disorders, or have learning difficulties (ADHD, learning disabilities, hypersensitivity, ASD, etc.).
My experience also extends to intercultural and humanitarian psychology, as well as supporting families, teachers, and elite athletes.
