I take care of evaluation, counseling, psychodiagnosis and psychotherapy, both the short and  long term, and my intervention is aimed at adults, children and adolescents. The approach I use is psychodynamic, with particular attention to emotions and their expression, defenses, development history, interpersonal relationships, and psychotherapeutic relationships. My skills can be applied in situations related to mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, learning disorder and attachment, life-cycle phenomena, and events such as separations, mourning, and illness.

I currently work as a private psychotherapist and clinical psychologist and carry out a project of school counseling and emotional support for children aged 7 to 11 in primary schools in the west of London under the patronage of the Family Action Organization.
