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
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
My primary approach is through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), although I believe in an integrative framework. Our work together will focus on your thoughts and behavior within and outside our sessions. Drawing from a Schema Therapy model, an essential aspect of my approach involves delving into your personal history to identify and address any maladaptive patterns, ultimately helping you gain a better understanding of yourself, establish healthy roles, develop secure attachments, and promote a more fulfilling life.
I am dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming environment for my clients. As an expat myself, I understand the challenges of finding a safe space in a foreign country or new surroundings. My approach is entirely client-centered, meaning I will tailor my skills to your unique needs throughout our collaboration. You can expect a judgment-free and respectful environment. I also encourage clients to be open and provide feedback on our work together because our ultimate goal is to help you.
