About me

EN: I am a psychodynamic-oriented psychotherapist with experience working with adolescents and multi-problem families, as well as supporting patients with psychiatric disorders and personality disorders during my training within the Italian national healthcare system. I have a strong capacity for empathic listening and believe that every person, before being a patient, is an individual carrying suffering they wish to manage and overcome. In my approach, I allow the client to lead the therapeutic process, avoiding the imposition of a clinical mental set that could interfere with their journey. I listen without judgment, seeking to fully understand the difficulties presented, and work to create a safe environment where clients can speak freely, challenge distorted self-perceptions — often rooted in past trauma or internalised guilt — and reshape them to regain authenticity and inner freedom.
