I have been a Clinical and Health Psychologist as well as a Psychotherapist for 34 years and I love what I do. I was always perfecting my training in order to seek more technical knowledge and know how.
I am dedicated and enthusiastic about my work, also in life in general. I take pleasure in learning new things, talking with friends, being with family, watching children grow, feeling music, literature, arts, animals and nature, helping people in NGOs. I love life in general and, in particular, I feel like a privileged person for those around me and who are part of my territory of affections. I have already faced powerful health challenges in my life, but I managed to find tools to walk through with success. My purpose is to sow well-being and wisdom and be there - always. I practice Mindfulness. Am I tired? No. I never want to retire and I will continue to go to bed with dreams and wake up with purposes.

I actively and continually seek adaptation to the singularities of each patient, using techniques appropriate to their context and their variables that led them to a place of suffering, promoting mental well-being and internal regulation. I help to increase self-awareness, to increase the possibilities of being happy, to activate available resources, looking for balance in emotional management, boosting personal achievements and satisfying relationships (for some people, it can be saying “no” to toxic relationships). If necessary, I help build a “Dossier” of Change, where we “review” individual goals in multiple dimensions of life, in order to reach “places” of happiness. Its duration and effectiveness depend on the objective of each patient and can be summarized in a few sessions, or, being longer, “opening more drawers”. My focus is not the process itself, but the Person and what him/her want to change in their life, extinguishing the symptoms. I follow people all over the world online.
