Career

​

I first graduated from an engineering school in 2015 but I quickly took another direction and became a psychologist. I got my master degree in psychology from Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès in 2019 (Master Professionnel de Psychopathologie Clinique Psychanalytique, parcours Psychologie Interculturelle). During my studies, I had the opportunity to work in companies, in a psychiatric institution, in a psycho-oncology unit and in an engineering school with students. My research topics were as follows :

​

- Yoga as a cultural practice : a psychological study of attraction and repulsion 

  Why do we use a practice originating from the East to compensate a typically Western   

  difficulty?

​

- "I didn't want to come to see you because I thought you were a shrink" - Practices and thoughts    about supporting students in engineering schools

  What role can a psychologist embody in a society that values performance and perfection?

  How to meet with such a population?

Approach​

​

To me, culture contact psychology is a way to understand individuals as a meeting space of several cultures and differences. It applies to ethnical and national cultures as well as any kind of cultural belonging that defines our way to see the world (family, generation, profession, growing up in a big city or a small town, etc.). Having myself Spanish and Vietnamese origins and having traveled from engineer to psychologist, I could experience the confrontation of different cultures.

 

I also use humanist (person-centered) and existential psychologies in my work. This means we work together, thanks to interactive talks, in order to find our way through your questioning and difficulties. I understand therapy as a creative and adaptive cooperation to develop meaning of what you are going through. As I practice yoga, meditation and dance, I am very receptive to body-mind approaches. I have been speaking English since age 5 and I have been in contact with the English culture during my whole education, which allows me to offer consultations in English.
