About me
Life in a new country, in a new language, with new roles — I know how disorienting it can feel. I’m an existential-analytic psychologist trained internationally, currently living in Italy and working with clients from all over the world.
But more than my credentials, what shapes my work most is my own story. Growing up in a family affected by addiction taught me early on how much unspoken pain we carry — and how deeply we long to be met in our truth. I've spent years learning how to build honest, nourishing relationships — first with myself, then with others.
Now, I support people navigating inner and outer transitions — whether it's moving abroad, ending a relationship, shifting careers, or simply feeling lost and not quite “yourself” anymore. Together, we explore what these changes mean for you, what emotions they awaken, and how they can become meaningful turning points rather than sources of fear. Our work goes beyond coping — it's about reclaiming a sense of direction, living with more authenticity, and building a life that feels like yours fully.
I believe in therapy that is reflective, warm, and respectfully challenging. I am a sex-positive person and I believe If something is consensual and brings you joy, it can be healthy and good — no matter what society says.

Approach
We all long to feel at home in our lives — to live in a way that feels real, connected, and meaningful. But sometimes, even when everything looks fine on the outside, something inside us feels off: disconnected, uncertain, stuck. Transitions, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or a quiet sense of “this isn’t who I really am” can all become turning points — if we listen.
In my work as an existential-analytic psychologist, I offer a space where you can pause and reconnect with what truly matters to you. We don’t just look at your “problems” — we listen to what your experience is trying to say. I support you in understanding your emotional world, untangling old patterns, and building relationships (including the one with yourself) that feel more authentic and alive.
My approach is warm, relational, and gently challenging when needed. I work with presence and precision, integrating methods from existential therapy, emotion-focused and somatic practices, trauma-informed work, and Authentic Relating communication tools.
These are the most common requests I helped people with:
- Lack of energy for everyday life, resulting in decreased efficiency, burnout
- Anxiety and high-sensitivity
- Feeling of loneliness and lack of meaning
- Relationship issues
- Consensual non-monogamous relationship support
- Divorce and breaking-up support
- Desire to feel a sense of belonging and establish meaningful connections
- Issues related to self-worth and confidence
- Crisis management and coping strategies
- Social media addiction and procrastination
Each session is a space of honesty, curiosity, and deep respect for your pace and process.There are no quick fixes — but there is real change, when we meet what’s true.
