About me

Il mio percorso di sviluppo personale e professionale si è snodato in tre principali tappe: la laurea in Scienze e Tecniche Psicologiche in Italia, il master in neuroscienze in Irlanda e la specializzazione in Psicologia Clinica in Germania. Viaggiando col desiderio di scoprire come venga vissuta e trattata la malattia mentale nelle diverse culture, ho seguito seminari formativi per approfondire pratiche di yoga e meditazione in India e Birmania. Attualmente presto servizio presso il reparto di Psicoterapia e Psichiatria in un ospedale di Berlino. Nel corso degli anni ho offerto supporto psicologico sia individuale che famigliare in ambito interculturale, occupandomi di trauma, depressione, disturbi d’ansia, problemi nelle dinamiche relazionali e protezione dei minori.

My personal and professional path developed across different countries as I graduated in Psychology in Italy, accomplished a master degree in Neuroscience in Ireland and I specialised in Clinical Psychology in Germany. Travelling to understand how mental health is considered and treated in different cultures, I also attended yoga and meditation training programs in India and Myanmar. I currently work in a Psychotherapy and Psychiatric hospital department in Berlin. Before this recent occupation, I have been involved in intercultural settings with individuals and families, dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, relational issues and child protection.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
MeditationMeditation is a practice to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.
MindfulnessMindfulness is the process of maintaining a purposeful moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

Il mio ruolo è di accompagnare la persona in un percorso di consapevolezza delle proprie dinamiche interiori e dei propri comportamenti. Credo che sia importante mettere a fuoco i nessi significativi tra esperienze e relazioni passate e presenti, potenziando le risorse personali per affrontare e gestire autonomamente nuove situazioni di difficoltà e conflitti. Seguo un orientamento che integra elementi di Terapia Sistemica, dinamica, Yoga e Meditazione. Durante le sessioni ricorreremo al dialogo, ad esercizi di respirazione e di consapevolezza corporea in una cornice sicura e priva di giudizio.

My role is to support you to initiate a path of self-awareness of your inner dynamics and behaviors. We will focus on the meaningful links between your past and present experiences and relationships, strengthening your personal resources to face and manage future difficulties and conflicts. To pursue this goal, I use an approach that integrates elements of Systemic Therapy, Dynamic psychotherapy, as well as Yoga and Meditation techniques. In our sessions we will use a combination of verbal communication, breathing exercises and somatic awareness in a safe and judgment-free environment.
