Located near downtown Lorient (40 minutes west of Vannes, 40 minutes east of Quimper, by car), near "les halles de Merville", I work with anxiety and depression, as well as adjustment and relationship issues. I have a specialization in eating disorders, having worked with the Renfrew Center in the United States for several years. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults.

Originally from New York, I have a bachelor's degree from Columbia University and a master's in social work from the University of Maryland. In the States, I had additional training with the Baltimore-Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis.

Psychodynamic therapy is derived from psychoanalysis, but is generally shorter-term, more flexible, and doesn't require lying on a couch. The focus of treatment is less on giving specific answers or solutions to difficulties, and more on your inner world and experience, and how this colours your life. We look for patterns - ways of thinking and behaving - that appear to recur and affect how you understand yourself in day-to-day living. The goal is for change to occur from the inside out, rather than from a formula or prescription.

My fees are based on a sliding scale. I prefer to have a first session so that we may collaboratively decide on a course of treatment and how to make it work for you financially. Generally sessions are once a week, though occasionally more often.
