I was born in Belgium and have spent most of my life there. 
 
I have 15 years’ experience as a clinical psychologist, and I have worked in various university units and private departments. 
 
At the University of Liège (BE), I worked in the Child and Adolescent Psychology Unit. 

I conducted several research studies on the development of the narrative function in children as well as research on ASD, ADHD and depression in adolescence and I wrote many scientific papers on these topics.  

I also worked in the Delinquency Psychology Department, where I conducted research on depression, anxiety and cannabis use with valuable Colleagues as well as research on delinquent behaviours and their links with depression in adolescence. 

As a Lecturer, I was responsible for different courses for both Bachelor's and Master's degrees (Child and Adolescent Psychopathology, Child and Adolescent Psychology, Developmental Psychology,...)
 
At the University of Paris Descartes, as a member of the laboratory of Pr. Adrien,  I conducted research on early signs of autism based on family movies. 
I’m also ADOS-2 trained. 

 
 In 2015, Dr. Cedric Leclercq and I co-founded Le Centre des Jardins de Floreffe, a private clinic dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and their families living with ADHD, ASD, and other forms of neurodiversity. 

I was also trained in Montreal, Canada, in the  Incredible Years® Parenting Programs, which enabled me to work therapeutically  with parents. The parent programs focused on strengthening parent-child interactions and attachment and parents’ ability to promote children’s social, emotional development. 

In 2018, after completing an additional certificate at the Catholic University of Leuven, I became a legal witness for the courts: Family Court and Criminal Court, while continuing my follow-ups and assessments in collaboration with Dr Cedric LeClercq, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.  

 I have contributed to the writing of developmental psychology books and manuals, both as an author and co-author. 

I'm highly specialised in the field of ASD, ADHD and high potential, and I'm regularly contacted to participate in the writing of scientific book chapters related to my, which includes CBT, CPD,  BBT, SFT, specialities. 
 
Since I was in the UK  (July 2021), I obtained a Diploma in Psychological Therapies – APT Level 4 which includes CBT; CPD;  BBT; SFT; ACT and Motivational interviewing.
  
Before my career as a clinical psychologist, I was a professional musician.
