About me

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist with a contemporary psychodynamic approach.

I currently live in Italy. I have experience with German, French and Italian cultures and I do work with LGBTQI+ clients. I still pursue advanced studies in intercultural clinical psychology. I also offer a discounted price for anyone who is involved with artistic or academic production.

In my practice, I use various tools developed to turn the psychotherapy process into a more sound and solid way of dealing with everyday life. I benefit from my training in existential psychotherapy, art-based psychotherapy and my formal education in psychological sciences.

Aside from working as a psychotherapist, I also offer long-term and short-term group counselling and supervisory support.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

My approach doesn't focus on definitions of healthy or unhealthy; instead, I focus on exploring what is functional and meaningful and what has become dysfunctional throughout our personal histories. The psychotherapy process in this sense is a process of rewriting personal history.

Psychotherapy is no longer a "talking cure", but it's a "relational cure".
