She earned both her Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology and her Doctor of Psychology degree at the California Institute of Integral Study in San Francisco.
Serving as a psychoanalyst at The Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco (where she is a Board Member), Cécile facilitates clinical and theoretical seminars on Lacan and Freud, usually online.

Psychoanalysis is a set of theories and therapeutic techniques that deal in part with the unconscious mind, and which together form a method of treatment for mental disorders. Psychoanalysts help patients tap into their unconscious mind to recover repressed emotions and deep-seated, sometimes forgotten experiences. By gaining a better understanding of their subconscious mind, patients acquire insight into the internal motivators that drive their thoughts and behaviors.
On a more personal note, Cécile speaks several languages, including English, French, and Spanish.
