If I had to define myself in one word, "curious" is indeed the first word that comes to mind. My eyes have always been wide open, eager to explore the world and its nature, the different cultures that bring it more color, the people who inhabit it, and their ways of being.

But it was first through travel, not psychotherapy, that I satisfied this thirst for discovery.

The daughter of a Congolese father and a Guadeloupean mother, born in Burgundy, I sensed early on that "home" meant nothing tangible to me and that this necessary feeling would be a deeply personal experience. While I felt at home nowhere, I was curious to discover how people felt at home elsewhere, how I might feel there, and what experiences I could draw from it. I enjoyed staying with locals, experiencing their daily lives, and discovering from the inside how others’ customs and traditions were manifested. Europe, South and North America, the Middle East, and Africa have all seen my feet tread their soil. However, the more I grew, the more it became clear that home was somewhere between my places of origin, Guadeloupe and Congo. I chose Guadeloupe to settle after years of reflection. The transformations my island underwent each year since I visited as a child revealed to me a different dynamic of "home," and I saw that even being geographically home, the peaceful feeling of rootedness could only come from being fully at home within oneself. External circumstances may change, and we have little control over them, but knowing oneself internally, making one’s inner self a haven of peace and comfort, was a necessary foundation for flourishing.

Gradually, I understood that no matter the place, each person was fundamentally different and at a different point in their journey of evolution. I observed how these differences could be a source of richness if communicated correctly, with appropriate boundaries and maturity. However, I also noticed that these circumstances were not always met, and the uniqueness of an individual, whether appreciated at the individual or social level, was often a source of conflict and division. Though a well-managed conflict has the potential to be fruitful, I witnessed many rifts where people felt misunderstood and hurt, everywhere I went. Touched by this problem but unequipped, I thought the answer was simply to accept others almost unconditionally… And I made it my personal mission. Blind to the fact that what was happening inside me was that I was actually seeking unconditional acceptance, wounded by the rejection I had experienced in the early years of my life.

A brief and painful marriage followed by a tumultuous divorce allowed me to understand that beyond simply accepting differences, conflicts most often stem from within oneself, in what we accept, do not recognize, or reject within ourselves. Before finding an epiphany in a relationship or a community, it was necessary to build this oasis within oneself, or risk seeing, sooner or later, old wounds, buried traumas, and received words manifest in our lives as if to say, "do not forget me."

As I went through a significant crisis in my life, I decided to question the entire belief system on which I had relied until then. I realized the richness of knowing oneself internally, of maintaining a healthy, peaceful, and inspiring relationship with oneself, and the impact this relationship could have on other relationships outside and on daily decisions. During this time, I felt compelled to go on a solitary retreat without food or contact with the outside world, which enriched my relationship with my inner self and the treasure of being oneself. Although exhilarated by the discoveries I made during this retreat, I understood that this was only the tip of the iceberg and that the path to inner healing was a subject I not only wanted to embrace but also study.

So I began with the work of Carl Jung and what he calls "shadow work," which gave birth to many therapeutic currents, such as Jungian psychological analysis. This study allowed me to understand the processes at play when something is buried in our psyche to the point of forgetting, but it acts openly without our realizing it. To enrich my practice and wishing to better support people, I then studied the psychology of relevance, through maieusthesis, the therapeutic practice initiated by Thierry Tournebise, which helps psychopractitioners develop a quality of listening and support for the patient, with an emphasis on communication and openness to forgotten parts of oneself that cause symptoms in the individual's life while pacing their process of flourishing and individuation. In my sessions, I noticed that in response to certain behaviors or pathologies, deep trauma listening and healing were sometimes not enough, and I observed that it was sometimes necessary to complement this with cognitive and behavioral support. Therefore, I also studied and am certified in cognitive and behavioral therapy, recognized by the Haute Autorité de Santé as the most competent approach to treating mental pathologies.

My thirst for learning drives me to stay informed and to study daily what seems relevant to me in the field of healing. Curious about everything, I do not stop at therapeutic support and have also had the chance to support entrepreneurs in their activities. Passionate about art, I love creating, drawing, composing music, or dancing. I have had the privilege of organizing events around culture on my island, which is so dear to my heart, and I would like to continue putting my creativity at the service of life in all its forms every day.

I am dedicated to witnessing life awakening and what each person is capable of doing best, if they allow themselves. I firmly believe that happiness can be found in the simple act of being oneself, once again when one allows oneself and has not lost the way home.

I would be delighted to accompany you on your journey…
