About me
was born in Austria and grew up in South Tyrol, Italy. From an early age, I developed a deep love for art, music, and different cultures. Over the years, I have lived, worked, and traveled in several countries, experiences that broadened my perspective and deepened my interest in people and personal growth.
I studied psychology and counseling and became a certified Psychosynthesis and Psychological Counselor, later adding Mindfulness (MBSR) to my professional path. Alongside my work, I raised two daughters and organized wellness events, always striving to combine knowledge with real-life experience.
I believe that meaningful change begins with self-awareness. My approach is based on authenticity, balance, and respect for each person's unique journey, helping people reconnect with their inner resources and live with greater clarity and well-being.

Approach
My approach is person-centered, empathetic, and holistic. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and life challenges. By combining active listening with evidence-based counseling methods, I support people in developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change.
My work is rooted in Psychosynthesis, an integrative approach that helps people reconnect with their inner resources, values, and potential. Depending on each person's needs, I integrate Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), bibliotherapy, and creative techniques to encourage self-reflection, emotional awareness, and personal growth.
I am also a certified Mindful Compassionate Parenting (MCP) instructor, supporting parents in developing more mindful and compassionate relationships with their children. I have also completed the third level of Huber Kinesiology, a emotional-oriented approach that helps identify and release stress.
