About me

You know that friend who always asks: “OK, but did you really like it?” — even at the most inappropriate moments? Well, that’s me. Someone without too many taboos, who you can talk to about anything, and who genuinely enjoys making people feel heard. Over time, I realised that my curiosity and openness when talking about sex and relationships could actually become something more. So I decided to turn this interest into a professional career in sexology, creating a warm, authentic, and professional space where people can ask questions and explore any doubts or challenges they may have. In my work, I’ve always had a particular interest in the topic of infidelity. I’ve studied this issue in depth and noticed that, for many couples, it’s not something they openly discuss or reflect upon. This silence can often lead to painful situations that put the relationship to the test. Some couples, when faced with infidelity, decide to separate. Others choose to face it together — to understand what happened and see whether, despite the wound to trust, it’s still possible to rebuild the bond on new foundations.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.
I like to structure my therapy sessions in a professional but relaxed manner. I want people to feel comfortable telling me even their most intimate and shameful secrets, which is why I like to build a relationship of trust. My background is in sociology rather than psychology. This leads to a much more contextual and deterministic approach than a psychological approach linked to one's family background. I like to start with a very gradual approach. During the first few sessions, I listen carefully to what the person wants to tell me. Little by little, I understand the sensitivity with which the person prefers to receive questions or feedback. And from there, we begin to delve deeper into their personal experiences and difficulties together.
