About me
Born and raised in Rome, I grew up in a beautiful, yet extremely controversial environment. The fear of judgment, alongside the constant pressure to appear and perform, marked my years in Italy. After completing my studies in clinical psychology, I moved to Berlin in 2014, where I had to face new challenges: developing a new identity and integrating into a completely different culture is not easy for anyone—especially in a city as complex as Germany’s capital.
Over the past ten years in Berlin, I have immersed myself in a variety of cultures and have been inspired by the city’s diversity. My goal is to combine these practical experiences with my psychological expertise to support people authentically and empathetically in navigating their daily challenges—both personally and within their relationships, families, and wider social environments.
In addition, working as a social worker allowed me to gain practical knowledge of institutions, social systems, and supporting children and families. It deepened my understanding of the difficulties people encounter in everyday life and helped me develop practical skills to support them effectively.
Alongside my work in psychology and social work, as well as my personal journey as an expat, I’ve been an active filmmaker for a while. With my knowledge and experience in this field, I also aim to support artists in pursuing their goals while navigating the challenges of everyday life.

Approach
For me, therapy is a journey of understanding, acceptance, and discovery. It is a process that unfolds over time, allowing space to explore inner experiences, relationships, and patterns that have might become conflictual to the life of the individual.
My work is grounded in an integrative therapeutic approach, with a primary focus on psychodynamic and systemic psychology. From a psychodynamic perspective, I value the importance of past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns, and how these continue to shape emotional life and behavior in the present. The exploration of childhood experiences and family relationships is therefore often a central part of the therapeutic process.
At the same time, I integrate a systemic perspective, looking at the individual within their broader relational, familial, and social contexts. I pay close attention to how family systems, social environments, and cultural factors have influenced—and continue to influence—the person’s inner world, relationships, and sense of self. Therapy becomes a space where personal history and present-day relational dynamics can be understood together.
While my approach is reflective and exploratory, I also remain flexible and responsive to the specific needs of each person. Depending on the request and the therapeutic moment, I may adopt a more direct, solution-focused stance, always respecting the pace and readiness of the individual. This allows therapy to remain both deep and practical.
I place great importance on creating a safe, open, and non-judgmental therapeutic space, based on mutual trust. A space where one can express thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities freely, without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. I usually begin with a classic conversational setting, and over time may incorporate exercises, experiential tools, or playful elements inspired by systemic therapy, when they support the therapeutic process.
I offer both online and in-person therapy. Whenever possible, I recommend a hybrid approach, as it combines the flexibility of online sessions with the depth and continuity that in-person meetings can offer.
