About me
I have lived most of my adult life abroad. Therefore, I have personally witnessed the many challenges and troubles related to the life of a foreigner. I have studied in a variety of countries in Europe acquiring a culturally sensitive mindset which I aspire to incorporate into my practice. I have experience working with people of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. I did my clinical psychologist work placement in a closed prison, where I worked with inmates. I'm passionate about music, movement (dance) and the research of altered states of consciousness and psychedelic integration therapy. Recent specializations in sex therapy (Helsinki, Finland) and in Phenomenological Psychopathology and Field Theory (Turin, Italy).
My approach
I believe all 'maladaptive behaviors', whether manifested in one's life through stress, isolation, addiction, depression, anxiety or various 'disorders' (eg. personality or eating disorders), are merely creative adjustments to one's environment. In my work, the goal is to become aware of these patterns and behaviors, how they emerge in the relational field in the present moment. I have several concepts of interest in addition to attachment, such as identity/self, sexuality and gender, creativity/self-expression and self-confidence.
