Biography

I was born in France to a French mother and a German father. I grew up in a diverse and international environment, living in several European countries and in the United States (Florida), where I first attended kindergarten and acquired my American English. During high school, I also spent half a year in Toronto, Canada, where I learned about Canadian culture and the way of life.

I chose to study medicine with the idea of ​​specializing in Psychiatry to deepen my understanding of how the body and mind interact and influence each other. After my first year in Luxembourg, I continued on to the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. During my studies, I spent a semester in Chile, working in a local hospital, where I had my first experience with mental health in Spanish. In 2019, after marrying a Spaniard, I settled with my family in Madrid.

During my five years of Psychiatry residency in Belgium, I worked with patients of all ages in diverse settings, including hospitals, emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, and day care centers. This allowed me to learn and implement validated treatments for a variety of mental illnesses, including postpartum depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD, and eating disorders. I also worked with children and adolescents with autism, behavioral disorders, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, which gave me a broad perspective on different therapeutic approaches.
