I specialize in working with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and challenges in relationships and family dynamics. My approach combines CBT, DBT, and attachment-based techniques, along with an existential perspective, because I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique experiences, challenges, and personal preferences.
My goal is to help you feel better, regain your energy, and also discover the important lessons and personal growth hidden within life's challenges. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
I am honest, insightful, and non-judgmental. I listen well but also offer practical support. My expertise includes working with international clients and expats. Having lived in the US, Italy, and Argentina, I am fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and French. I offer a free 20-minute virtual consultation. Let’s connect to see whether we are a good fit.

I believe a therapist should combine multiple approaches to best adapt therapy to your specific needs. I integrate technical modalities like CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP (exposure), and mindfulness with an existential perspective, rooted in the philosophy that we can learn from every life experience and that each of us requires different tools based on our preferences and learning styles.
