I provide compassionate support to individuals navigating the effects of trauma, complex life transitions, depression, anxiety, and relational challenges. I also hold space for those carrying the weight of marginalization, cultural displacement, or the stressors that arise during the perinatal period. My practice is an inclusive space where clients from all backgrounds, cultures, and identities are welcome. As a bilingual therapist, I am able to offer services in both English and Italian, and I value the richness that language and culture bring to the therapeutic process.

My belief that the therapeutic relationship is the key element of successful treatment informs my practice. This working relationship, based on mutual trust and shared goals, allows for self-exploration and ultimately personal growth. In working with individuals, couples, families and/or groups I think that connecting the dots between past and present allows the client to have a better grasp on what is influencing her/his feelings and life choices leading to greater empowerment and life satisfaction.

You feel disconnected, hopeless, or stuck. You may be navigating major life transitions, creative blocks, existential or spiritual crises, or the lingering effects of childhood, complex and/or acute trauma. I can help. I love to work with thoughtful, sensitive individuals who feel disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or overwhelmed by the confusion and meaningless of modern life. I can help people make sense of adversity, trauma and emptiness and learn to reclaim their true, vibrant, authentic selves.

Are you feeling stuck—overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or repeating patterns even when you “know better”? Therapy is a place to slow down, understand what’s happening inside, and create lasting change. I offer a warm, collaborative space grounded in compassion, curiosity, and authenticity.
My work is rooted in Internal Family Systems with a relational lens. IFS understands the mind as having different “parts”—like the part that wants to grow and the part that wants to stay safe. These conflicts aren’t a flaw; they’re protective strategies shaped by experience. Together we build clarity, self-leadership, and deeper connection.

Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Are you bored and restless with your life? Does the future seem hopeless? Many of us experience these feelings, yet often think we're the only ones. We worry that if we show people what’s really going on, they will avoid and judge us. In therapy, we give voice to these feelings, and learn that while they can be scary at times, they also reveal a path to healing and change.

If you're looking for a therapist, there's a good chance you feel like "something" in your life isn't working -- perhaps within yourself, a relationship, or your career. Sometimes it's hard to know what that "something" is, and, other times, the feeling may be directly connected to a specific event, relationship, or personality trait. As your therapist, I will work with you at a pace that feels manageable, and together we will reflect on what feels like it's not working and identify possibilities that may bring relief or change.
