About me
I am a licenced clinical Psychologist from Florence, Italy. I got my degree - Summa Cum Laude - with a thesis on the effects of Mindful Meditation on chronic pain at the University of Turin, in the course of Sciences of the Mind. I then achieved a 1st level Masters called "Neuroscience, Mindfulness and Contemplative Practices" at the University of Pisa - I have therefore a diploma as a Mindfulness Interventions Instructor. I studied Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy at the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. I specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at the Florence Center for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CTCC). I am a member of the Italian Society for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (SITCC), finally I am now assistant trainer at the CTCC, I follow and guide 14 psychologists and 6 psychiatrists in their journey to become CBT Therapists. I am, finally, a Psychologist of Emergency Response for the Civil Defence and I have worked with first-time responders in emergency situations, as well as for Law Enforcement, both clinically and as a trainer.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
HypnotherapyRecommended for those who want to use relaxation and hypnosis techniques to explore deeper parts of their mind or break unhealthy habits.
I generally use the perspective of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to understand human suffering. In this regard it is important for me to clearly see and model the issues and aversities my patient faces through the lenses of their own universe of meanings, because there is no other way - I posit - to understand and make my patient feel truly understood.
Therapy, in my view, should help the patient to be the person they want to be while facing adversity. That requires in a very Acceptance and Commitment Therapy way, to go towards what in their hearts is important, is precious, rather than run away from what they do not want.
One way through which I achieve these goals is to promote the mind's flexibility to believe strong and useful mental images, that enhance performance, and step back, distance and disbelief those images that, instead, are an obstacle to my patient's values and life goals.

As a neurodivergent and queer-affirming therapist, I understand how exhausting it can be to mask, to feel misunderstood, or to move through the world feeling “too much.” You won’t have to justify your identity here.
