Clinical psychologist specializing in CBT, EMDR, Psychotherapy (HeilprG)

Founder of the Pensées Center

As part of my therapies, I attach particular importance to creating a climate of trust, allowing you to engage at your own pace while feeling safe in this therapy space that is yours.

My practice is guided by cognitive and behavioral therapies, in which I specialized during my studies in France and Germany. I am also trained in EMDR (“Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing”) therapy, which is very functional in the case of trauma. I like to integrate into my follow-ups, elements of schema therapy, mindfulness meditation allowing us to tame our painful emotions (anxiety, anger, etc.), as well as positive psychology tools in an approach centered on mobilizing your resources and personal skills in order to increase and improve your well-being.

Concerning my professional experiences, I notably worked at the Vivantes hospital in Neukölln, in a department of
inpatient psychiatry, at the Vivantes Clinic in Reinickendorf in a day clinic for mood disorders as well as in a reception center for migrants in Berlin (EJF).

Passionate about my job and curious to discover and try new things, I like to adapt to my patients, their requests and also my own desires. This is why I started setting up positive psychology workshops (CARE Program) in 2019.

Finally, mother of a little girl recently, I am continuing my interest in the field of research linked to parenting (in particular linked to parental burn-out) with the publication of scientific and popular articles as well as with the in place of therapeutic workshops linked to this theme to best support parents in difficulty.

I look forward to being able to accompany you on your own path, gently, respecting your own rhythm.
