"Every person is the result of his own reality-construction". This statement is at the base of my cognitive therapeutic approach. And maybe it has also become my personal approach to problems. Thus, I am interested in your individual way of being, and how you represent your own unique life – exploring with you how it was created. I am an Italian clinical psychologist working as an expat in Berlin since 2013 with individuals and couples, but only for Italian-speaking patients. I strongly believe in the results showing that mother-tongue therapy is the most effective one, which is also why I founded, with some colleagues, the first Italian mental-health association in Germany, Salutare e.V., in 2014. In Berlin, since the first months of my arrival, I started working in my private studio but I am also still collaborating as a psychology consultant for AWO Kreisverband Spree-Wuhle in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, where I coordinated many Italian-speaking self help groups and therapeutic creative-writing groups. Always working in a team made me open-minded and passionate about my job, sailing from the psychiatric and neuroscience research fields to clinical specialization in anxiety, stress and mood disorders since 2001. A bit of empathic humour is my personal touch, if you would ever ask my clients to tell you a bit about me.
