Therapy for people leaving high-control religions, toxic families, and identity suppression
You may be untangling guilt, fear, or confusion after growing up in a controlling environment.
I help you rebuild trust in yourself, reclaim autonomy, and create a life that actually feels like yours.
Do you recognize yourself?
You’re questioning your religion, upbringing, or belief system
You were taught to suppress your identity or instincts
You’re LGBTQ+ and your background made it harder to accept yourself
You feel guilt or fear when you try to think for yourself
You struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or self-trust
You feel like you lost yourself in a family, culture, or system
If this resonates, there’s nothing wrong with you - your environment shaped you this way
How therapy works
Some people come to therapy already understanding their patterns - but still feel stuck.
That’s because these patterns were formed in relationships, not just thoughts.
In our work together, we focus on:
1. Feeling safe enough to question → so your body no longer reacts with fear, guilt, or shutdown
2. Understanding the parts of you that protect you → including the parts that keep you “in line” or afraid to change
3. Healing through real connection → where you can be seen, heard, and not judged
4. Rebuilding your sense of self → so your choices begin to feel like your own
People often begin therapy feeling:
confused
divided inside
guilty
unsure of what they believe or want
Over time, they begin to:
build relationships that are mutual - not controlling
trust their thoughts and feelings
feel more grounded and less reactive
set boundaries without overwhelming guilt
reconnect with identity, desire, and direction
About me
I’m an English-speaking therapist based in France, working with clients internationally.
My work focuses on helping people heal from environments that shaped their identity through control, fear, or emotional neglect.
I combine relational, trauma-informed approaches (including Internal Family Systems & Relational Intelligence) with a deep respect for autonomy, identity, and personal truth.
Therapy with me is not about telling you who to be—
it’s about helping you discover who you already are underneath everything you were taught.
Like many therapists, I have a story that brought me to this point. If I’m doing this work, it’s because I likely came from a similar place to where you are. You can know more about my journey here.
My Approach
I combine Relational Intelligence (RI) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore your nervous system and the various parts of you that have worked diligently to help you function.
The core elements of our work
SAFETY AND REGULATION
This is the element of settling - where your body feels a little more supported and a little less alone.
What this includes:
Co-regulation through presence, bodily awareness of feelings and sensations, and therapist attunement to your nervous system’s needs
Understanding your nervous system’s patterns
Helping protective parts feel respected, not pushed
Why it matters:
Safety becomes something you can feel, not just imagineRELATIONAL REPAIR
Healing in the relational space between us through presence, and being seen and heard.
What this includes:
Experiencing steady, warm connection
Repairing moments of disconnection in real time
Letting parts feel seen, heard, and emotionally accompanied
Why it matters:
Your system learns that connection can be safe, mutual, and steady.UNDERSTANDING YOUR PARTS
A turning inward to meet the parts of you that protect, the parts that carry pain, and the parts longing for connection.
What this includes:
Meeting protectors with curiosity
Gently approaching younger parts holding old wounds
Understanding how emotional neglect shaped your inner world
Why it matters:
You begin to understand yourself with compassion instead of self-blameINTEGRATION AND SELF-LEADERSHIP
A returning to your own clarity, groundedness, and inner leadership.
What this includes:
Strengthening Self-energy
Expressing needs and boundaries with more ease
Living from a steadier, more connected sense of self
