My Divan bleu Mission

Join heart and mind to help my clients overcome obstacles and thrive in satisfying relationships.

My Story

When we look around us, we might get the impression that most of the people we know have “achieved” what they wanted: a strong relationship, a job that brings them challenges, healthy children, and we might compare ourselves by thinking that things aren’t so easy and linear in our own life.

For most of my life, I have felt lost. I wondered where was my place and role in the community on all levels: work, family, romantic relationships. I knew I didn’t fit into the mold: I had to innovate and create my own benchmarks by imagining a reality outside of established norms and values.

It’s hard to build strong self-confidence and recognize your worth when looking for yourself. I know what it’s like to doubt, to question everything, to wonder what the next step should be, and to find your own way in a myriad of possibilities where one often feels discouraged and impatient.

With my life experience and my dynamic and insightful personality, today I have the resources and aligned confidence to be able to guide you in finding your individual or relational path.

And while we walk this path together, even if everything is not clear, even if you feel lost, helpless or overwhelmed by events, we will explore your resources, your strengths, your unsatisfactory patterns, using concrete tools for yourself or your relationship (dyads, conventional and non-conventional relationships) in order to breathe new life into what is important to you.

Bearing the light for you as you journey on your individual or relational path is my life mission and I offer you open support, non-judgmental listening, great sensitivity, as well as guidelines and a space where you can be totally yourself in order to find your own way.

Learn more about this professional

To illustrate my many interests and curious nature: I finished my Bachelor’s degree in business administration when I was 21 years old. I then went to work in the business field for many years, in different positions including as a management consultant, recruiter and business owner in the service sector.

I then accumulated many trainings and professional experiences in multiple domains: interior design, translation, literary creation, and, of course, therapy.

I still work in most of these domains, offering my support to businesses, in interior design, in recruitment… nothing on my path was lost and it all contributed to the multi-faceted person I’ve become!

Nothing makes me happier than to transmit knowledge. I constantly think about the next workshop I will create, or the books I want to write, and which tools could be helpful in different areas. Speaking in front of a group fills me up with joy.

Learn a secret about this professional

By my transparent nature, I don’t have many secrets. I’m open to discuss any subject: from sexual practices to spirituality, even linking both subjects in the same conversation!
