About me
A psychologist with a master's degree in Clinical Psychology and another in Forensic-Legal Psychology, I also bring a rich background of international experience to my practice. Originally from Italy, I've lived in Germany, France, and Canada, and for the past six years, I've called the Netherlands home.
Therapy, to me, is a valuable tool for helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life. I view myself as a facilitator for my clients, adapting to their unique needs and goals, offering validation, and collaboratively identifying and breaking negative patterns.
I am based in Leiden and offer online and in-person therapy in English and Italian.

Approach
I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach grounded in evidence-based practices. Depending on your needs, I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and EMDR therapy to support emotional healing and personal growth. Whether you're coping with anxiety, trauma, or relationship difficulties, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences.
As a psychologist with international experience, I understand the unique challenges faced by expats and those navigating life in a new culture. I tailor therapy to your goals and pace, adapting it to your cultural background and personal history. My sessions are client-centered, nonjudgmental, and designed to make you feel heard and understood.
Together, we'll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns impact your daily life. Using Schema Therapy, we may look into your personal history to understand and shift long-standing patterns. When appropriate, I can also incorporate EMDR to process distressing experiences and support emotional regulation and healing.
Ready to begin your journey toward growth and healing? Contact me to explore how we can work together.
