About me
            I have worked with individuals and couples at assisting in developing more positive communication skills. We explore each individual emotional health  and freedom, soon blooming into emotional wisdom. Our setting in confidential, trusting and safe. The Therapeutic process is soothing to the soul. If you are creative, we explore emotional externalizing  to feelings through creativities where there is no right or wrongs. Find positivity; 
Make your Life a MasterPiece.         
I have achieved a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. My focus has been in assisting individuals and relationships towards improved communication skills and reducing the effects of traumatic events. I am fluent in French and Spanish languages...and of course...English. I was born in the South of France. I am an independent in practice. I also believe in exercising creative expression; the Art of Psychology and the Psychology of Art. Make a MasterPiece of your Life.
