Setting boundaries can be difficult, especially when you have a habit of putting the needs of others before your own, when you have low self-esteem, or when you feel pressured to meet others’ expectations.

Being able to say “no”, put yourself forward and defend your own interests can lead to a feeling of guilt or fear of disappointing or hurting our loved ones, our authorities, and our co-workers.

It took me a lifetime of painful relational experiences, both in my professional life and in my intimate relationships, to realize that it was my responsibility to assert myself in order to be able to change the things that did not satisfy me in life.

My journey of personal development led me to become a therapist and to accompany people who, like me, needed to get to know themselves in order to express themselves freely and flourish. With this work, I have had the opportunity to see many people experience real transformation. It is always a rewarding experience to see someone thrive.

I also have a great sensitivity for ill-being in the workplace, which is why I also became a mediator and work to find satisfactory solutions for all parties during conflicts. It is important to me to help you get out of logical puzzles during confrontation when there are divergent interests. Instead moving towards the reconciliation of interests and having the solutions present themselves.

Developing the ability to express yourself authentically and constructively in relationships is an emotional and personal challenge that requires stepping out of your comfort zone and facing your own fears and uncertainties. But it can be a very rewarding experience.

If you are ready to begin this process of discovery and transformation, do not hesitate to make an appointment. I am here to support you and accompany you on this journey.

• Learn a secret about this professional

  When I was young, I was extremely shy and even stuttered often. I had to follow a path of sustained personal development since I was a young adult to give myself the necessary tools and develop myself in this world which can be harsh at times.
