"I already know, but I still feel..." In therapy, life is not just about knowing, it’s about savoring.

In my work as a psychologist, I aim not to distance myself from the senses. Sense, as in what is felt—what affects us—and sense, as in what "makes sense," or what is understood. For me, affect (the sensitive dimension) and understanding (the cognitive dimension) are both tools for work and objects of study.

In therapy, you will have a space to talk about yourself and reflect on who you are, have been, or would like to be. However, the therapeutic process is not limited to the cold analysis of thoughts and behaviors; it includes the expression of emotions that often escape rationalization. My work consists of welcoming these expressions and accompanying the unique journey of each person who trusts me with their life story through specialized listening.

But what is specialized listening?

It refers to the way I listen or, more simply, the way I understand what is being said. This listening, or understanding, is realized through all the knowledge I have built throughout my training and ongoing study, and it is updated with each new element that arises in a person’s life or narrative. In other words, it is a listening that is attentive to the details of what appears in the session. Therefore, it can perceive repetitions and differences, crystallization and movement.

And what about child therapy?

As with adults, I accompany the child’s path and analyze how they relate to people, situations, and emotions. Gradually, I share some of my perceptions with them for reflection. Starting from their universe of references and focusing on what matters to them, we engage in play and conversations that are as powerful and challenging as those with adults.

It is very important for the family to be involved and committed to the child's therapeutic process. Therefore, caregivers are often invited to attend sessions with me, with the goal of jointly analyzing the family dynamic through key situations.
