Andare a vivere in un paese lontano dal quale si è nati, a volte, riporta alla memoria situazioni e sentimenti che si erano messi da parte. Se vi sentite soli, ansiosi, provate mancanza di motivazione, la necessità di sentirvi supportati nel vivere quotidiano, io sono ben felice di incontrarvi al fine di esplorare insieme com’è possibile affrontare insieme questo processo al fine di migliorare la vostra qualità della vita. Queste difficoltà, se non affrontate, possono rendere difficile sentirsi appagati e soddisfatti.

I help many adults and couples address the underlying causes of their conflict, pain, distress, and angst. We will employ different techniques that assist in understanding what lies beneath the surface. I draw from many psychological approaches and world traditions. Also, by thinking about the human experience and acknowledging what happens between us, in the therapy space, as valuable insights for our understanding of you; and by looking at your inner world view.

Do you find yourself often navigating multiple settings, contexts, cultures, identities? Often code-switching and having difficulty figuring out who you are?
I have often helped folks who are developing a sense of who they are in a new chapter of life, whether it's due to moving cities or countries, changing careers, new life changes, or finding a unique balance in their diverse identities. These big changes often create anxiety, depression, and chronic stress that tend to impact all aspects of life and functioning.

People come to see me for help with a wide range mental health and relational struggles. I view the difficulties people face not as simply disorders, but as learned behavior that serve important purposes.

Pain is often difficult to describe- it may even be unspeakable. As a licensed psychotherapist and supervisor with experience in the areas of clinical psychology, clinical social work, and psychoanalysis, I offer a unique set of skills to help you speak about the reasons you're seeking treatment. In my practice I offer a warm, nonjudgmental, and confidential space for you to say whatever comes to mind. In psychoanalytic treatment, you may discover solutions for your suffering and experience transformative change.

What would you change about your life, if making a change didn’t feel so hard? In the best of circumstances, this is the role a psychotherapist can play: a facilitator for positive change, someone who makes this process considerably less hard, possibly even enjoyable. I work with adults and couples who suspect that their lives could be richer, more gratifying, more authentically experienced, if only they could make some simple changes, because sometimes it takes a little outside support to make that happen.

I became a therapist because of the transformative experience I had as a client. I know firsthand how powerful and healing the therapeutic relationship can be. I work with people who have experienced trauma or painful experiences that continue to affect them. It is possible to create the life and the relationships that nourish you, but most of us get stuck along the way and need help in healing the parts of ourselves that keep us in unhealthy and ultimately unfulfilling patterns of thought, feeling or behavior. My approach emphasizes acceptance of, and compassion for, the whole person.

I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive and/or gifted, who struggle with anxiety or complex trauma, and/or who are curious about their neurodivergence. Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system, they experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they may have experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support sensitive people on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

I work with individuals who feel stretched thin by burnout, anxiety, or life transitions—often high-achieving professionals who appear successful outwardly while carrying stress or identity questions beneath the surface. They want clarity, emotional resilience, and a steadier sense of self.
I also support relationship struggles, whether clients are partnered or single. This includes improving communication, repairing trust, navigating dating, and building healthy, lasting relationships. Clients seek deeper connection, self-awareness, and alignment with what matters most.

I have been helping individuals who may be neurodivergent, autistic, or have ADHD and struggle with anxiety. My clients usually come to me looking for concrete steps on how to improve their lives. I focus intensively on the patterns of my clients that aren't helping them to meet their goals in life. I work hard on emotional regulation, difficulties with anxiety, and intrusive thoughts that get in the way. My clients also come to me wanting to understand the autism spectrum and ADHD. Having been diagnosed with ADHD and having worked on my own social skills, I draw from my 30 years of experience and personal life to give direction.

My approach is best described as interactive, personable, nonjudgmental, and aimed at bringing about change that's both meaningful and real. I tend not to view people's issues or concerns as a form of pathology or neurosis, but rather as particular problems in living. I see each person as genuinely unique, and so avoid cookie-cutter approaches. My role is to help individuals and couples work through problems as effectively and efficiently as possible, in a way that builds confidence, self-respect, hope, and, ultimately, a fresh way of living life.
