Healing and change are possible, even when it feels like nothing works. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are becoming. Some are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or past relational pain—including dysfunctional relationship patterns—while others are moving through life and women’s transitions, parenting, and shifting roles that can bring exhaustion, guilt, or a sense of losing oneself. You want to feel understood, regain clarity, and reconnect with what truly matters—without trying to “fix” yourself.
I offer a warm, intuitive, integrative approach, blending attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic awareness with attuned listening. With over 10 years of international experience, I support individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and women’s wellness. I offer therapy in English, Spanish and Italian.
If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a compassionate, grounded space—along with a clear and supportive presence—to help you understand yourself more deeply, release what no longer serves you, and move toward a life that feels more aligned, empowered, and authentic.
