Sometimes you wake up exhausted without really knowing why. You doubt yourself, you worry, you lose your footing. In a confidential, judgment-free space, I help you better understand what you're going through and start feeling better.

Psychologist (RPPS n° 10109835404), graduate of Université Paris 8. My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I practice in person in Lyon 6 and Lyon 9, and via teleconsultation.
Before fully dedicating myself to this practice, I spent nearly six years in the heart of the French start-up ecosystem, in roles combining analysis, support, and organizational structuring. These experiences gave me a close-up view of the human stakes behind performance pressure, mental load, the difficulty of setting boundaries, and the invisible fatigue that builds up in demanding professional environments.
I see clients in person on Wednesdays in Lyon 6 and Thursdays in Lyon 9, and via video call on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.

The rue Vauban practice, in Lyon 6.
People who come in for a first session often struggle to put words on what's wrong. They know something is off, at work, in their head or in daily life, without always knowing exactly where.
That's often where it starts: a creeping exhaustion, anxiety running in loops, a feeling of no longer fitting in, difficulty setting boundaries. There isn't necessarily a crisis, just something weighing on you.
I mainly work with adults on issues related to work and personal life: burnout, bore-out, stress, anxiety, loss of meaning, mental load, self-confidence, emotional regulation, work-life balance.
In the first session, I ask a lot of questions to understand where things are stuck and what is causing you distress, without trying to put a label on you. We set a concrete goal together and check that we can work well together: the relationship matters as much as the method.
I am direct, sometimes funny, and I want sessions to be a real conversation. We start from what you are living through day to day rather than from theory.
I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a scientifically validated approach that works on the link between what we think, feel and do. We look at what is really going on and find concrete levers to feel better, without forcing yourself to "stay positive".
My aim is for you to leave with your own tools for understanding yourself, so that you no longer need me.

Booking a session with a psychologist is already a step in itself. It can feel daunting, or simply take some courage. That's normal.
The first session lasts 45 minutes. We meet, I ask questions, I try to understand your situation, what's stuck, where the distress lies. By the end, we define a goal together and see whether we can work well together. This first appointment doesn't commit you to anything further.
